Your mission: turn curiosity into conversations, and conversations into real business opportunities.

Let's be real: this role is hands-on. You'll spend a lot of time picking up the phone, sending messages, following up, and getting through to tough prospects. Along the way, you will learn how to position and pitch an AI product that delivers value, and how to drive thought leadership in the field of AI. You'll work closely with Sales and Marketing, test different outreach strategies, and help shape how Synera goes to market in the US.

If you are hungry to take the first step towards a sales career in one of the most exciting fields there is, you have come to the right place.

Your main focus areas:
  • Pipeline Building: You qualify leads and set up meetings for the Account Executive team.
  • Prospect & Qualify: You engage senior leaders and decision-makers via cold outreach (email, LinkedIn, calls, reaching 60+ activities per day).
  • Outbound Excellence: You shape and manage targeted outbound campaigns, working with the Marketing team to optimize messaging.
  • Engage & tell great stories: You spark interest in Synera's Agentic AI solutions through compelling storytelling and value-driven conversations. You experiment and find creative ways to engage with senior leaders and build trustful relationships
  • Iterate & Improve: You analyze outreach performance, test new approaches, and refine our SDR playbook.

In 6 months:
  • You know our domain inside out: who our ideal customers are, what keeps them up at night, and how Synera solves their biggest challenges. You have become an AI native, and curiosity is what drives you daily.
  • You routinely create great Discovery Calls, proving you can turn outreach into meaningful conversations for our Sales team. You have gained great confidence in explaining and pitching a complex tech product.
  • You are a power user of our tools and workflows - from prospecting platforms to CRM systems. Giving and receiving feedback has become a normal part of your day.
  • You understand what makes our product special and be able to speak authentically about the value we bring to teams who want to transform what they do with AI. You love to share knowledge and good practices in an international team.
