  • Maintain accurate activity and opportunity tracking in CRM tools

  • Stay informed on market trends, competitive offerings, and the financial services landscape

What Success Looks Like

  • Consistently delivering high-quality, sales-accepted leads

  • Strong collaboration with Account Executives and Marketing partners

  • Building trust and credibility with prospects through meaningful conversations

  • Demonstrating steady improvement in call quality, discovery conversations, and opportunity conversion

What We’re Looking For

  • 2+ years of experience in business development, inside sales, or a customer-facing role

  • Strong communication skills, you’re comfortable talking with senior-level stakeholders

  • Curiosity and coachability; you want feedback and use it to get better

  • Ability to balance activity with thoughtful, personalized outreach to uncover real business needs

  • Skilled in handling rejection and navigating objections

  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, metrics-driven environment

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent relevant experience

Why MeridianLink

  • Exposure to a growing fintech company serving banks and credit unions nationwide

  • Growth paths into Account Executive or other sales roles

  • Collaborative, team-oriented sales culture

  • Opportunity to make a visible impact on revenue and customer success
