Business Development Representative

Skimmer is on a mission: to modernize the pool and spa service and repair industry. We’re a private equity-backed company with 6300+ customers using Skimmer’s pool service platform to transform their businesses. But we’re not stopping there (there are over 70,000 pool service companies in this surprisingly large “niche” space).

Our customers love us almost as much as we love them (check out our reviews and our NPS score of 68!)

We were recently honored to be the 6th Fastest Growing Company in Austin (ABJ), # 163 on the Deloitte Fast 500, and one of Built In Austin's “Best Startups,” but the one we’re most proud of is being one of Austin's Best Places for Working Parents.

We’re looking for big thinkers with small egos, so let’s dive in!

You’ll also benefit from working with world-class revenue leaders across the GTM org (Marketing, Sales, Success, and Support).

The Team:

• Sales team today is 9 folks (4 BDRs - 5 AEs) reporting to our Director of Sales

• All reps are remote and support each other throughout the day

• We live our values- we’re hardworking, humble, and believe that our customer’s success is our success.

• Career development is a priority- we have a high employee retention rate and eNPS because we truly care about our people and their growth.
