About Haven Safety AI

Haven is building the world’s first AI-native copilot for occupational safety. We empower frontline teams and safety leaders to investigate incidents faster, uncover root causes, and prevent serious injuries and fatalities before they happen. Backed by leading venture investors and Fortune 500 design partners, Haven is defining the future of EHS technology with a proprietary safety knowledge graph and AI purpose-built for incident investigations.
Our vision is bold: safety never sleeps, and neither should your systems.

Role Overview

We are seeking a driven and connected Sales Development Representative (SDR) / Business Development Representative (BDR) to be one of Haven’s first go-to-market hires. This role is perfect for someone already in the EHS software industry (e.g., Intelex, Cority, Benchmark Gensuite, VelocityEHS, Enablon, etc.) who understands the workflows, the buyers, the current tech landscape, and the pain points of safety professionals. As Haven’s SDR/BDR, you will be on the front lines identifying prospects, building relationships, and generating qualified opportunities with safety leaders across industrial sectors. This is a high-impact role where you’ll not just sell a product—you’ll help pioneer a category.

Key Responsibilities

  • Research, identify, and engage potential customers across target industries.
  • Develop tailored outreach campaigns (email, LinkedIn, phone, events) that speak the language of EHS and resonate with safety leaders.
  • Qualify inbound and outbound leads, uncovering real pains and readiness for AI-driven safety solutions.
  • Partner closely with the CEO and GTM leadership on refining messaging, segmentation, and outbound strategy.
  • Build and maintain a pipeline of qualified opportunities for Account Executives and leadership.
  • Represent Haven at industry conferences, webinars, and events.
  • Be the “voice of the market,” sharing insights from conversations with safety leaders back into product and marketing.

What We’re Looking For

  • Industry insider: 2+ years of experience in sales or business development at a leading EHS software provider is required (Intelex, Cority, Benchmark Gensuite, VelocityEHS, Enablon, etc.).
  • Domain fluency: Understanding of incident management, root cause analysis, corrective action tracking, and the daily reality of EHS teams.
  • Hunter mindset: Comfortable with outbound prospecting, creative outreach, and persistence.
  • Strong communicator: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to build rapport with executives and frontline teams alike.
  • Entrepreneurial drive: Thrives in an early-stage environment, excited to shape GTM motion from the ground up.
  • U.S.-based with ability to travel for customer meetings and conferences as needed.

Why Join Haven

  • Be one of the first GTM hires at a fast-growing AI startup redefining safety.
  • Work alongside founders, product leaders, and advisors from the world’s top AI and safety organizations.
  • Competitive compensation package (base + commission + equity).
  • Opportunity to define your career as Haven scales—today SDR/BDR, tomorrow sales leadership.
  • Mission-driven culture: every deal you help close means safer workplaces and lives saved.
