Job description

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.
