About the Role
This is a key early sales hire at a fast-growing AI SaaS startup, owning the entire German-speaking top-of-funnel from first outreach to qualified demo handoff. You will work closely with marketing and Account Executives to shape outreach strategy and SDR processes, with a clear path to move into a closing role based on performance.
What You’ll Do
•
Own the German-speaking top-of-funnel, from first contact through to qualified demo handoff to Account Executives.
•
Qualify inbound leads generated by marketing and prioritize timely follow-up.
•
Execute multi-channel outreach across phone, email, LinkedIn, and new channels as you identify them.
•
Build, test, measure, and iterate on outreach sequences and prospecting hypotheses.
•
Contribute to the continuous improvement of SDR workflows and processes.
•
Support new customer onboarding as part of the handover process.
•
Progress toward an Account Executive role by delivering consistent top performance.
What We’re Looking For
•
1+ years of sales experience, ideally in outbound or telesales; strong junior candidates with relevant drive will also be considered.
•
Native-level German and confident phone presence are essential.
•
Strong spoken and written English (the company’s working language).
•
Experience with multi-channel outreach and designing, testing, and improving cadence sequences.
•
Ability to form hypotheses, run experiments, and iterate based on results.
•
B2B SaaS sales background is a plus.
•
Competitive, output-driven mindset with motivation by uncapped commission.
•
Comfortable operating at startup pace and helping to shape processes from the ground up.
•
Genuine ambition to grow from SDR into a closing role within months.
