About CueBox

CueBox is a fast-growing startup building a modern, all-in-one ticketing, fundraising, and marketing CRM software for performing arts organizations. Theaters, symphonies, operas, ballets, choruses, and performing arts centers are vital to their communities — but most are stuck running on antiquated technology that gets in the way of doing their best work.

CueBox changes that. Our software directly grows our customers' revenue (ticketing and donations), improves the patron and donor experience, and gives staff their time back from manual work. We have a growing customer base across the US who genuinely love the product, and we're looking to expand the team that gets CueBox in front of more arts organizations.

CueBox works with orgs across the US including El Paso Symphony, HERE Arts Center in NYC and more. One of the music orgs that CueBox works with increased ticket sales by >30% and ticket donations by 5x in several months after switching over to CueBox.

Role Overview

We're hiring our founding business development representatives (BDRs) to drive the top of our sales funnel. You'll own outbound prospecting into performing arts organizations across the US — building lists, running multi-channel outreach, qualifying inbound leads, and booking discovery calls for our sales team. This is a high-impact role at a small and fast-moving company: your work directly shapes pipeline and revenue, you’ll partner directly with our CEO/co-founder, and you'll have the opportunity to grow into an account executive role.
