Sales Development Representative (SDR) – Berlin – German native level // lizzyAI

Want to build a serious career in tech sales? There are very few careers where your progression can be as fast, your performance as measurable, and your earning potential as high as in technology sales. In tech sales, you can go from an entry-level SDR role to Account Executive, Enterprise AE and eventually sales leadership within a few years. At larger software companies, strong enterprise sales reps can earn well into six figures annually, and exceptional top performers can make seven figures. But the upside is not just money. You learn how companies buy. You learn how executives think. You learn how to communicate, negotiate, build relationships, handle pressure and close complex deals. These are skills that can open doors into leadership, entrepreneurship and almost any commercial role later in your career. This is one of the best places to start if you are ambitious, competitive and want a career with real upside. And this is your chance to get started. This is not a job where you sit around waiting for inbound leads. We’re looking for someone hungry, competitive and ambitious who wants to learn how enterprise sales actually works — and is willing to put in the reps to become great at it. German at native-speaker level is mandatory. lizzyAI is building the AI recruiting platform for the DACH market. We help large companies transform how they engage, interview and move candidates through their hiring process — with AI interviews, AI career agents, phone and messaging workflows, scheduling, interview copilots and more. We’re already working with major enterprise customers and building a category-defining AI company from Berlin. And we’re looking for people who want to grow with us. What you’ll do Your job is simple: Create pipeline. You will identify the right companies and decision-makers, reach out to them, create interest and book meetings for our sales team. That means:

• Cold calling senior HR and Talent Acquisition leaders
• Writing highly personalized cold emails
• LinkedIn outreach
• Researching target accounts
• Finding the right decision-makers and entry points
• Following up relentlessly
• Testing new messaging and outbound approaches
• Working directly with founders and senior sales leadership
• Learning how complex enterprise deals are created and closed

Cold calling is a core part of this job. Expect 2–3 hours of focused cold calling every working day. This is mandatory. If the idea of picking up the phone 30, 40 or 50 times a day makes you uncomfortable, this probably isn’t the right role. Who we’re looking for Previous SDR, BDR, SaaS, recruiting or sales experience is a plus, but not required. We care much more about your mindset, ambition and willingness to learn. What is required:

• German at native-speaker level — mandatory
• Strong English
• High energy
• Confidence speaking to strangers
• Competitive mindset
• Resilience
• Strong work ethic
• Curiosity
• Coachability
• No fear of the phone
• A genuine desire to become excellent at sales

We’re looking for someone who wants more responsibility, more learning and more upside. Not someone looking for the easiest possible job. This role is 100% in-office in Berlin. Especially early in your sales career, we believe you learn dramatically faster by sitting next to great salespeople, hearing their calls, getting immediate feedback and improving every single day. You’ll be surrounded by people building, selling and growing the company — not sitting alone on Zoom. Learn sales directly from experienced founders You won’t disappear into a huge sales organization. You’ll work closely with our founder and CEO, a serial entrepreneur and experienced sales leader who previously built and led a sales organization of around 400 salespeople. You’ll learn the fundamentals of modern tech sales firsthand:

• Prospecting
• Cold calling
• Discovery
• Enterprise sales
• Negotiation
• Executive communication
• Pipeline management
• Closing

For the right person, this role should be a launchpad into becoming an Account Executive and eventually an enterprise sales leader. Why lizzyAI? AI is changing recruiting right now — and we want to build one of the companies leading that transformation. We’re a small, ambitious team. That means your impact is visible immediately. No hiding. No endless layers of management. No spending six months waiting for responsibility. If you perform, you get more responsibility. If you learn fast, your career can move fast. If you want to become great at sales, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from people who have already built large sales organizations and technology companies. This role is probably not for you if…

• You hate cold calling.
• You want to work remotely.
• You need constant motivation from your manager.
• You get discouraged easily by rejection.
• You’re looking for a comfortable 9-to-5 where nobody really knows what you achieved that week.

This role might be perfect for you if…

• You’re ambitious.
• You’re competitive.
• You like winning.
• You learn fast.
• You want to make a lot of money in your career.
