With our presence in key financial hubs including London, New York, Houston, Singapore, Geneva, and the UAE, Vortexa is developing a premier platform for energy and freight analytics, backed by top-tier investors and trusted by the most discerning market players.

Role Overview:

We are seeking a motivated Business Development Representative (BDR) in Houston, TX, to catalyze growth within North American financial institutions and companies in the energy and oil & gas sectors. This position will concentrate on identifying, engaging, and qualifying new prospects from organizations that rely on waterborne energy, fleet, and freight data and analytics (including trading desks, research teams, risk management, logistics, chartering operations, shipowners, and commodity funds).

The BDR will collaborate closely with our Sales Representatives to ensure a robust pipeline by generating and qualifying leads, scheduling high-quality meetings, and identifying new segments and use cases within the region.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead Generation & Qualification
    • Conduct thorough research to identify target accounts within financial services, oil & gas, shipping, and related industries in North America.
    • Execute outbound campaigns (via email, phone, LinkedIn, and events) to engage key stakeholders such as traders, analysts, portfolio managers, risk managers, and logistics leads.
    • Assess inbound and outbound leads based on established criteria (fit, need, timing, budget, decision-making process) and direct them to the appropriate channels.
  • Sales Team Support
    • Work alongside Sales Representatives to build and sustain strong opportunity pipelines within their designated territories.
    • Organize and prepare for high-quality discovery calls and product demonstrations, ensuring the sales team is equipped with relevant context and insights about accounts.
    • Maintain precise and updated records within the CRM, including activities, contact information, and opportunity statuses.
  • Market and Account Analysis
    • Map complex organizational structures and identify key decision-makers across trading, analytics, risk, and operational divisions.
    • Stay informed about market trends in waterborne energy, freight, and tanker sectors, utilizing this information to customize outreach efforts.
    • Monitor competitors and alternative solutions within accounts to clearly position our value proposition.
  • Messaging and Outreach Execution
    • Develop targeted outreach sequences addressing specific workflows (e.g., crude and refined product trading, LNG/LPG, freight and chartering).
