  • About the Role

    A fast-growing, Y Combinator–backed conversational AI startup is hiring its founding Sales Development Representative to join the Growth team in Berlin. This is a ground-floor opportunity to own pipeline generation for a voice AI product with strong, proven market demand — and a clear path to full-cycle deal ownership as you ramp up.

    You'll help shape the sales playbook, build repeatable go-to-market motions, and play a direct role in scaling revenue quickly. If you thrive in high-energy, low-ego environments and want your work to have a measurable impact from day one, this role is for you.

    What You'll Do

    • Generate qualified pipeline to drive aggressive revenue growth over the next year.

    • Identify the right prospects and engage them through strategic outreach.

    • Drive multi-channel outreach across email, LinkedIn, and phone.

    • Build and manage relationships with customers from first touch onward.

    • Manage pipeline and maintain CRM tooling with rigor and discipline.

    • Transition into owning and closing deals end-to-end after strong early performance.

    • Help shape the GTM motion, build a repeatable sales process, and refine outreach strategies.

    • Contribute to hiring and growing the sales team, and building out the sales playbook.

    What We're Looking For

    Required:

    • Previous sales experience in a startup or other fast-moving environment.

    • A proven track record of consistently meeting or exceeding targets and KPIs.

    • Strong business acumen — ability to understand the problems and needs of diverse companies.

    • Hands-on, scrappy approach; comfortable with unglamorous, high-volume outbound work.

    • Proficiency with multi-channel outreach (email, LinkedIn, phone) and CRM tools.

    • Near-native / C2-level German (non-negotiable) and strong English (B2–C1).

    • Willingness to work on-site in Berlin five days a week.

    • Collaborative, communicative, hungry mindset — you bring energy and leave your ego at the door.

    Not a fit if you:

    • Lack direct sales experience.

    • Prefer remote or minimally collaborative work environments.

    • Avoid direct customer interaction or prefer purely strategic roles.

    Compensation & Benefits

    • Salary: €75,000 – €120,000 annually (depending on experience).

    • Early-stage equity opportunity at a well-funded, high-growth company.

    • Please note: visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

    Location

    • Berlin, Germany — fully on-site, five days a week.

    • This is not a remote or hybrid position.
