Job description
We are a product-first team on a mission to help grow the cybersecurity culture 🔐
We want to instill cybersecurity good practices to employees in a way that's actually effective, and entertaining enough so that employees don't feel like they're working. Think Duolingo but for cybersecurity.
We created a platform to easily rollout a cybersecurity awareness program: the platform sends chat-based 4-minutes long courses to teams. Following the courses, the other side of the platform simulates phishing attacks, to prepare employees to face hackers, but in a safe environment.
Created in 2020, Riot has raised $45m with top-notch investors (Y Combinator, Base10, Funders Club and Frst Capital), and is now protecting more than 2,000,000 employees in over 2,000 companies (including Intercom, Deel and Deezer) all over the world.
Cybersecurity is everywhere. It's impacting everyone, everyday, and it's becoming the number one risk to any organization, whether it's a small business or a big firm. Yet, the cybersecurity culture in most companies is a disaster. Hackers are leveraging this by targeting the weakest link: the employees. We're on a mission to fix that.
🎯 Your role as Team Lead BDR
Reporting to Grégoire, our Head of Growth, you will join the Growth team, organized around two core missions: building pipeline and scaling our core revenue processes. The team drives pipeline growth through paid acquisition, outbound programs, and BDR execution. In parallel, it owns the CRM and GTM operating model, ensuring clean data, efficient processes, and disciplined planning and forecasting.
As Team Lead BDR, you won't just manage a team: you will build the growth engine that powers Riot’s next ARR milestones. Your team will be the first touchpoint for hundreds of global organizations, shaping how they discover and experience Riot.
You'll operate at the intersection of sales, marketing, and leadership. You are a player-coach who combines data, creativity, and ambition to turn pipeline into predictable growth.
