ABOUT THE ROLE
As the founding BDR/SDR, you will build the outbound pipeline generation function for an enterprise-focused Voice AI company in Berlin. You will work closely with an Account Executive to create meaningful conversations with enterprise buyers and establish a repeatable outbound motion.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Research high-potential enterprise accounts and map decision-makers across AI, customer service, IT, product, engineering, and innovation teams.
- Build personalized outbound campaigns across phone, LinkedIn, email, events, and other relevant channels.
- Call senior enterprise buyers and qualify opportunities against clear standards before passing them to the Account Executive.
- Follow up systematically on inbound leads and market signals to create new conversations.
- Identify event attendees, book meetings ahead of trade fairs, and follow up with prospects afterward.
- Maintain accurate records in HubSpot and document workflows and learnings for future team members.
- Test messaging, channels, and sequences regularly, measure results, and improve pipeline generation.
- Help hire, onboard, and develop future BDR team members as the function grows.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Native-level or bilingual German is required.
- Berlin-based or willing to relocate, with the ability to work on-site.
- Comfortable speaking by phone with senior enterprise buyers and persistent in outbound work.
- Curious about technical Voice AI products and able to learn through account research and buyer conversations.
- Organized and systems-minded, with an interest in building a function rather than following a finished playbook.
- Prior BDR/SDR experience is not required; candidates with a range of backgrounds are welcome.
- This role is focused on developing expertise in business development, rather than moving quickly into an Account Executive position.
