Sales Development Representative (SDR) DACH (German-speaking)

The Mission The German & Austrian markets are filled with ambitious companies trapped by hiring borders. Brilliant startups in Berlin can't hire that perfect developer in Barcelona. Scale-ups in Vienna are losing top talent because they can't navigate global employment laws. As our German/Austrian Market SDR , your mission is simple but powerful: Turn Germany & Austria into WorkMotion Territory. You won't just be making calls and shooting generic AI-generated outreach – you'll be the architect of first impressions, the detective uncovering growth opportunities, and the matchmaker connecting ambitious companies with borderless hiring solutions. You're not selling software; you're selling freedom from geographical limits. Your goal will be to make strategic high-volume outreach feel strategic and personal, turning every touchpoint into a stepping stone toward your 20+ qualified monthly demos. You'll become the go-to expert on every high-growth company worth knowing in Germany & Austria. When a startup that hires remotely gets Series A funding or a scale-up announces international expansion, you'll be the first person they hear from. The Challenges You'll Conquer The "Perfect Timing" Hunt: Identify companies at their inflection point: fresh funding, new market expansion, or rapid remote hiring sprees. You master LinkedIn Sales Navigator, HubSpot, and AI to prioritize your target lists and contact personas – and reach out at the exact moment they realize they need global hiring solutions. The Multi-Channel Siege: Phone calls that create familiarity; written, video and voice messages on LinkedIn so relevant that they feel like they're from a trusted advisor and emails that cut through the noise. You master every channel relentlessly until prospects recognize your name. The "Full Account Mapping" Strategy: Go beyond single-contact outreach. You master multithreading by identifying and connecting with multiple stakeholders across departments – from HR directors to team leads to C-suite executives – creating a web of relationships that makes your prospects feel like WorkMotion is everywhere they look. The "Big Fish" Strategy: Target high-growth companies already hiring remotely or ready to scale globally. Your research game is so strong, you know their pain points before they do. You will be the first one to spot a LinkedIn comment from a frustrated EOR user and reach out to show how WorkMotion will alleviate their pain. The Strategic AE & Marketing Sparring Partner: Deliver 20+ qualified demos per month and become your AEs’ right hand by showcasing your strategic thinking, creativity and market understanding. Align closely with marketing colleagues to share feedback on current market trends and to adapt messaging and targeting together Who You Are You're a "hunter" who gets energized by the chase and thrives on building something from scratch. The Relationship Builder: You understand that B2B sales is about solving real problems, not just hitting numbers. You reach out with relevance, build trust, and become a familiar name before pitching solutions. The Solution-Oriented Problem Solver: You laugh at "bad data" or "no contact info" as excuses. When databases come up empty, you find creative ways to locate decision-makers through alternative research methods, social and personal networks, and industry connections. The German Native: German flows naturally from you, and you instinctively understand the cultural nuances that make German & Austrian company's tick. The Research Obsessive: You dive deep into company backgrounds, funding announcements, and hiring patterns. You arrive at every conversation armed with true insights instead of generic attempts to connect. The Resilient Challenger: 100 calls per day doesn't scare you – it excites you. Booking 3 highly relevant meetings in a row gives you a dopamine hit and makes you long for more. Rejection is just data that helps you refine your approach.
