SDR (m/f/d)

About the Job As a key growth accelerator, A11 partners with Europe’s most ambitious startups and scaleups, corporates and SMBs to connect them with top-tier talent ready to make an impact. We're looking for a motivated Sales Development Representative (SDR) (m/f/d) to join and build the outbound and pipeline-generation engine at one of our Ecosystem companies.
