Senior Business Development Representative (BDR)

$50,000 – $100,000 per year

TLDR

Own the full outbound growth engine from day one, partnering with founders to build and scale the top-of-funnel for a fast-moving, YC-backed AI SaaS startup.

About the Role

We're a fast-growing, Y Combinator-backed AI SaaS startup (W25 batch) automating sales operations — quoting, pricing, and order management — for distributors and manufacturers in sectors like construction supply, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing. Our AI-powered platform eliminates repetitive back-office tasks and dramatically accelerates sales cycles for mid-market B2B customers.

We're looking for our first Senior Business Development Representative to own outbound growth from the ground up. You'll be a key early hire, working side-by-side with the founding team to build and scale the top-of-funnel engine. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role for someone who thrives in a fast-moving, early-stage environment. Visa sponsorship is available.

What You'll Do

  • Own the full prospecting cycle — from identifying potential leads to engaging and converting them via phone, email, and social media

  • Work directly with the CEO on high-impact sales initiatives

  • Experiment with and implement new inbound and outbound lead generation strategies

  • Develop deep product, market, and customer understanding to craft tailored pitches and close deals

  • Conduct in-depth market research to identify and prioritize target accounts

  • Create and refine sales materials, scripts, and outreach templates; lead internal knowledge sharing

  • Engage with prospects daily, build strong relationships, and feed market insights back to the product team

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

  • Native German speaker — essential for engaging with the target market

  • 2+ years of experience in sales, with a strong preference for B2B SaaS or tech environments

  • Proven experience with multi-channel outbound prospecting and closing (phone, email, social)

  • Proficiency with CRM and outbound prospecting tools (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce)

Nice to have:

  • Experience delivering tailored pitches to C-level executives

  • Ability to conduct market research to identify target accounts and refine outreach strategies

  • Ambition, resilience, and a genuine enthusiasm for working in a fast-paced startup environment

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: $50,000 – $100,000 per year (depending on experience)

  • Early-stage equity opportunity

  • Visa sponsorship available

  • Direct collaboration with founders and the chance to shape the company's go-to-market playbook from the start
