Founding BDR Sales & Growth | San Francisco, Seattle, Denver Competitive Base + Performance Bonus + Early Equity Who we are LightSource is the next-generation operating system for Procurement. We build SaaS software for procurement managers - the folks at companies responsible for managing suppliers and vendors. Sales has Salesforce, HR has Workday, and now finally procurement has LightSource. We build something similar to a CRM, but instead of helping sales professionals find customers, we help procurement managers find vendors, manage negotiations, and buy intelligently. Our team is small but growing quickly. We're exceedingly well-funded by top-tier investors, already winning enterprise logos, and now we're ready to build the engine that fuels our next phase of growth. That engine starts with our first BDR.
