THE OPPORTUNITY

We are hiring a Sales Development Director for our Client Sales team in Berlin or Munich, DE! 

As the Sales Development Director for Germany, you are the architect of our top-of-funnel growth in one of our most critical markets. You will not only lead a high-performing team of Business Development Representatives (BDRs) but also act as a "leader of leaders" by mentoring and managing a BDR Team Lead.

This is a director role, meaning you bridge the gap between high-level regional strategy and daily operational excellence. You will define the German outbound playbook, optimize the tech stack for the local market, and scale the leadership bench while ensuring the team consistently exceeds pipeline and revenue targets.

YOUR IMPACT

Strategic Leadership & Market Growth

• Market Strategy: Lead and execute the DACH GTM strategy, focusing on high-value segments.
• Leadership Development: Coach and develop a Junior BDR Team Lead.
• Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner with Marketing and AEs to ensure strong lead flow and handoffs.
• Revenue Forecasting: Provide clear pipeline forecasts with risks and opportunities.

Inbound & Outbound Process Mastery

• Inbound Agility: Maximize conversion through fast, effective lead qualification.
• Outbound Strategy: Drive personalized, high-intent prospecting.
• Tech Stack Champion: Optimize use of Salesforce, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and AI tools.
• BoB Management: Improve book-of-business and outreach strategies to build pipeline.

Operational Excellence

• Direct Management: Lead a high-performing BDR team to exceed targets.
• The "German Playbook": Adapt messaging to the German market.
• Process Optimization: Streamline tools and workflows to improve results.
• Recruitment: Hire and scale the team for growth.

Coaching & Performance

• High-Stakes Coaching: Upskill reps through hands-on coaching.
• Performance Management: Set KPIs and drive accountability.
• Onboarding: Ensure fast ramp-up for new hires.
• Live the mission: Build a supportive, high-performance culture.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• Team Quota Attainment: % hitting targets.
• Conversion Rates: Inbound and outbound funnel performance.
• Win Rates & Revenue: Overall business impact.
• Ramp Time: Speed to productivity.
• Employee Retention: Engagement and retention levels.
• Live the mission: inspire and empower others by genuinely caring for your own wellbeing and your colleagues. Bring wellbeing to the forefront of work, and create a supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable taking care of themselves, taking time off, and finding work-life wellness.

WHO YOU ARE

• Proven Track Record: 5+ years in Sales, with at least 3 years of experience as a Manager-Director in a Sales role.
• The "Coach" DNA: A passion for seeing others succeed. You should have examples of BDRs OR AEs you’ve mentored who have been promoted into AE or Senior roles.
• Analytical Skills: You can look at a conversion funnel and pinpoint exactly where the "leak" is-whether it’s the initial hook, the discovery call, or the hand-off to the AE.
• Strategic Narrative Building: Proven experience managing SDR/BDR teams for a Challenger Brand or a "non-commodity" solution. You must demonstrate the ability to create urgency for a product that is not yet a "household name" or is perceived as discretionary spend.
• The "Value-First" Framework: You have moved beyond "feature-selling" and can coach reps to pivot from Product Interest to Business Impact. You should be able to show how you’ve successfully positioned a solution as "mission-critical" during budget-conscious cycles.
• DE Market Savvy: Comfortable navigating the nuances of DE business culture and time zones.
• HR Knowledge and experience: You are familiar with the HR space and can talk the CHRO language
• Knowledge of key sales development metrics: Team Quota Attainment (% of team hitting SQL/Meeting/ Opps targets), Conversion Rates (MQL to SQL Inbound and Prospect to Meeting to Opps Outbound)
• Win Rates and Revenue Targets: It's all about how this team and demand gen impact the business results
• Ramp Time: Speed at which new hires reach full productivity.
• Employee Retention: Team engagement and internal promotion rates.

We recognize that individuals approach job applications differently. We strongly encourage all aspiring applicants to go for it, even if they don't match the job description 100%. We welcome your application and will be delighted to explore if you could be a great fit for our team. For this specific role, please note that prior experience in Sales, with at least 3 years of experience as a Manager-Director role are mandatory requirements.
