Senior Sales Development Representive (North America)

Description

About the Role

This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of offensive security and AI - and to have your expertise directly shape how a first-of-its-kind platform reaches the enterprise market.

This role sits at the forefront of our go-to-market motion. You will be responsible for identifying, engaging and qualifying senior security decision-makers across the US market, working in close collaboration with the Director of Sales Development, the CRO and the founding team to build a repeatable and scalable outbound pipeline from the ground up.

We are looking for driven, commercially minded professionals with native-level German, a proven track record in outbound sales development and the disposition to thrive in a high-growth, pre-revenue environment. This is an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the architecture of a sales function - not to execute within one that already exists.
