About the Role
We're a fast-growing, seed-stage AI SaaS startup building an AI-powered phone communication suite for SMEs across Europe. With a strong foothold in the German-speaking market and a dynamic, international team of ~50 people, we're looking for a driven German-speaking Sales Development Representative to own our top-of-funnel and help fuel our next phase of growth.
This is a high-ownership role with a clear, fast-tracked path to Account Executive for the right performer. You'll shape SDR processes from the ground up, work closely with marketing and sales leadership, and directly impact company growth — all while being rewarded with uncapped commission upside.
What You'll Do
-
Own the entire German-speaking top-of-funnel, from first contact through to qualified demo handoff to Account Executives.
-
Qualify and prioritise inbound leads generated by marketing campaigns.
-
Execute multi-channel outreach across phone, email, LinkedIn, and beyond — testing new channels as opportunities arise.
-
Build, test, measure, and iterate on outreach sequences and outbound hypotheses.
-
Contribute to the continuous improvement of SDR workflows, processes, and tooling.
-
Support new customer onboarding as part of the handoff process.
-
Progress toward an Account Executive role by consistently delivering top performance.
What We're Looking For
Must-haves:
-
1+ years of experience in outbound B2B sales (SDR, telesales, or similar), delivering qualified leads and demos.
-
Native-level German fluency with a confident, professional phone presence.
-
Strong spoken and written English (our company language).
-
Proven track record of meeting or exceeding outbound sales targets with variable or commission-based pay.
-
Hands-on experience designing, testing, and optimising multi-channel outreach sequences (phone, email, LinkedIn).
-
Familiarity with B2B SaaS sales cycles and the SDR-to-AE pipeline.
-
Experience coordinating qualified opportunity handoffs to Account Executives.
-
Competitive, output-driven mindset and comfort operating in a fast-moving startup environment.
Nice-to-haves:
-
Experience with CRM and sales engagement/sequencing tools.
-
Exposure to broader European or German-speaking markets beyond core outreach duties.
-
Appetite for end-to-end ownership with minimal bureaucracy.
Compensation & Benefits
-
Base salary: €60,000 – €90,000 annually, depending on experience.
-
Uncapped commission on top of base — your earnings scale with your performance.
-
Clear, fast-tracked progression path from SDR to Account Executive.
-
Work within a collaborative, international team at a well-funded, high-growth startup.
