ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a high-impact, top-of-funnel sales role at a fast-growing AI SaaS startup, where you will own the entire German-speaking pipeline from first contact through to qualified demo handoff for Account Executives.

- Build and refine outbound sequences by forming hypotheses, measuring results, and continuously improving.
- Own early customer onboarding to ensure smooth handoffs and initial success.
- Help shape SDR processes and best practices as the team scales.
- Develop closing skills to transition into a full-cycle sales role as you hit your targets.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 1 or more years of sales experience, ideally in outbound, telesales, or B2B SaaS environments.
- Native-level German with a confident phone presence and professional written communication skills.
- Fluent English for internal collaboration (company language).
- Demonstrated ability to qualify leads and manage top-of-funnel through to demo handoff.
- Experience building, testing, and iterating on outreach sequences with a metrics-driven mindset.
- Competitive, commission-motivated personality with a clear drive to grow into a closing role.
