About Takedown

Takedown protects consumer brands from counterfeiters, copycat stores and impersonators. We scan marketplaces, social platforms, ads and the open web for fakes of a brand's products, then get them taken down. Our customers are growing e-commerce brands in supplements, skincare and fashion that sell on Shopify and Amazon.

We're hiring a BDR to build our outbound pipeline and book qualified meetings with the brands that need us most.

What you'll do

- Research and find DTC and e-commerce brands that match our ideal customer profile

- Run outbound campaigns across cold calls, email and LinkedIn

- Book 8–15+ qualified meetings per month

- Keep up 50–80+ dials a day and/or 30–50+ emails a day

- Work with leadership to build the BDR playbook: who we target, what we say, and how we qualify

- Open conversations with evidence, such as fake listings or copycat stores we've already found for that brand

- Keep the CRM clean and accurate, and share what you hear from the market so we keep improving

What you bring

- Native or near-native English, spoken and written

- 2–5 years in a BDR, SDR, appointment-setting or outbound sales role

- Cold calling experience. You're comfortable with high volume and you recover fast from rejection

- You care about meeting quality, not just the count. A meeting you book should be relevant and qualified

- You track your own numbers and keep the CRM up to date

- Coachable, competitive, and you take ownership of results

Nice to have

- Experience in SaaS, e-commerce, DTC, retail or SMB/mid-market sales

- Hands-on with tools like HubSpot, Salesforce, Apollo, Clay, lemlist, Sales Navigator, Outreach or Salesloft

- Has built target lists or ICP criteria on their own

What we offer

- Fully remote

- Work with fast-growing e-commerce brands on a problem that costs them real money

- A high-impact role on a small, fast-moving team

- Clear ownership: you'll see the meetings you book turn into fakes taken down
