Sales Development Representative - German speaking (Munich)

About the Role & Team

We are looking for a motivated Sales Development Representative to join our brand-new Munich office.

Our DACH sales team spans across Madrid, Aarhus, and Munich, and you’ll be among the first sales hires in Munich, working closely with our Country Director in Munich and the rest of the team in Aarhus and Madrid to grow our presence in the region. This is a unique opportunity to join a structured, goal-driven team that values collaboration, clear leadership, and measurable impact.

In this role, you’ll be helping driving revenue growth, identifying new opportunities, and supporting the team’s success in the DACH market.

What you will do

• Generate new sales opportunities primarily through outbound efforts in the DACH market, focusing on the Formalize product

• Identify, contact and communicate with potential customers or partners with the aim of organising client meetings

• Operate as an entrusted advisor and frontline ambassador towards our potential customers, as you will be the first point of contact, building brand awareness towards our solutions and services
