The primary responsibilities involve identifying and engaging affordable housing developers through high-quality outbound campaigns across email, phone, and social channels to book qualified product demos for the sales team. Additionally, the role requires meticulous tracking of all prospect activity in the CRM and collaborating with marketing on outreach strategies.
About Parcell
Parcell is a modern site-selection and scoring platform built for affordable housing developers leveraging the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. LIHTC is responsible for roughly 85% of all affordable housing development in the U.S., and every state administers the program through its own Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP)—a complex set of scoring rules that developers must navigate. Our platform uses AI to turn this complexity into clarity. We help developers pinpoint the best sites, optimize scoring, and make higher-confidence decisions in minutes instead of weeks. Industry leaders often describe Parcell as “the ChatGPT for LIHTC site selection.” We work with many of the most reputable affordable housing developers in the country including the likes of Pivotal Housing, Columbia Residential and Dominium (all in the top 50 affordable developers nationwide).
We are headquartered in Atlanta, GA, with a remote team composed of highly driven technologists, former executives, and entrepreneurs. The founders are Sang Venkatraman and Carlos Lawton.
About the Role
Parcell is growing quickly, and we’re looking for a Business Development Representative (BDR) to help expand our relationships with affordable housing developers across Texas and nationwide. You’ll be on the front lines of our growth: identifying ideal prospects, running high-quality outbound, sparking interest with the right message, and booking qualified demos for our sales team.
This role is ideal for someone who loves the craft of outbound—strong research, sharp messaging, and disciplined follow-up—while caring about the real-world impact of affordable housing. You’ll have high ownership, clear goals, and direct visibility into results.
