Founding Business Development Representative (BDR)
About the Role
We're a fast-growing, early-stage conversational AI SaaS company building a voice platform that automates customer call operations for B2C businesses — handling sales, support, and operational tasks at scale. Backed by top-tier investors including Y Combinator and a leading European venture fund, we're now hiring our first sales team member.
As the Founding BDR, you'll be the face of early customer acquisition — owning pipeline development from the ground up, shaping the sales playbook, and building the GTM engine that will scale with the company.
What You'll Do
Generate qualified pipeline to drive significant revenue growth over the next year.
Identify the right prospects and engage them through targeted, thoughtful outreach.
Execute multi-channel outreach campaigns across email, LinkedIn, and phone.
Build and nurture relationships with prospective and existing customers.
Manage the pipeline and maintain CRM tooling to ensure clean, accurate data.
Shape the GTM motion, build a repeatable sales process, and continuously refine outreach strategies.
What We're Looking For
Required:
Proven experience in a Sales or Business Development role — startup or early-stage environment strongly preferred.
Track record of building a GTM motion and repeatable sales process from scratch.
Demonstrated ability to generate qualified pipeline and contribute directly to revenue growth.
Proficiency with multi-channel outreach (email, LinkedIn, phone) and CRM tooling.
Strong fundamentals in customer-facing communication and consultative selling.
Fluency in both English and German.
Nice to Have:
Experience selling AI, voice, or automation software to B2C-focused businesses.
Consistent track record of meeting or exceeding quota/KPIs.
Strong business acumen — able to quickly understand a prospect's pain points and needs.
Hands-on, low-ego attitude; comfortable doing the unglamorous work that early-stage sales requires.
Compensation & Benefits
Salary: $50,000 – $55,000 per year (or equivalent in local currency)
Early-stage equity opportunity
Work alongside a small, smart, and collaborative team
Visa sponsorship: Not available
Location
This role is based on-site in Berlin, Germany, 5 days per week. Remote work is not available for this position.
