Sales Development Representative (German-Speaking)

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. You will work at the intersection of outbound hustle and data-driven iteration, and top performers have a clear path to a closing role within months.

What You'll Do

• Qualify inbound marketing leads and convert them into opportunities for Account Executives.

• Execute multi-channel outreach across phone, email, and LinkedIn, testing new channels to expand reach.

• 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.

• Comfort working in a fast-moving, experiment-friendly startup environment.

• Prior exposure to AI or SaaS products, particularly in the SMB segment, is a plus.
