Sales Development Representative (German-speaking)

About the Role

We're looking for a driven, German-speaking Sales Development Representative to own our German-market top-of-funnel — from first contact all the way to qualified demo handoff for Account Executives. You'll sit at the intersection of sales and marketing in a fast-growing AI SaaS startup, playing a critical role in shaping how we grow in the DACH region. This is a genuine career-accelerator role with a clear path to becoming an Account Executive.

• Build, test, measure, and iterate on outreach sequences and sales hypotheses.

• Contribute to the continuous improvement of SDR workflows and processes.

• Support new customer onboarding as part of the handover process.

• Work toward an Account Executive role by consistently delivering top performance.

What We're Looking For

• 1+ years of experience in outbound or telesales, ideally in B2B SaaS.

• Native-level German proficiency with a confident, professional phone presence.

• Strong spoken and written English (company working language).

• Proven track record of meeting or exceeding outbound sales targets with variable/commission-based pay.

• Experience designing, testing, and optimizing multi-channel outreach sequences and cadences.

• Familiarity with CRM and sales engagement tools (e.g., sequencing platforms).

• Experience coordinating qualified opportunity handoffs to Account Executives.

• Hypothesis-driven mindset — comfortable running experiments and iterating on results.

• Thrives in a fast-paced startup environment with end-to-end ownership and a bias for action.

• Ambition to grow from SDR to Account Executive within a short timeframe.
