Founding BDR

Tasks

The impact you will have

• own the dial. cold calls every day, and you want it that way. the phone is the fastest feedback loop you can get: real objections, real reactions, real language, in real time. most people shy away from that and their best ideas never meet the market. you don't. you'll know our market better than anyone within weeks.
• choose who to call. you own the target list. which industrial enterprises fit our ICP, which accounts to prioritize, which trigger events make now the right moment. targeting is where the pipeline is won or lost.
• work the warm pipeline. trade fairs, webinars, existing relationships: we have real leads waiting to be worked. you decide which ones move first, how to re-engage them, and how to turn interest into a booked meeting.
• book meetings that convert. qualified discovery meetings inside industrial enterprises that run complex supply chains, our ICP. procurement team members, heads of procurement, C-level. not activity, not dials for the dashboard. meetings that move ARR.
• run the sequences. cold call, LinkedIn, email cadences: you execute them relentlessly, spot what lands, and feed it back so the messaging gets sharper every week.
• feed the market back to the company.

Requirements

What makes you a great fit

• 0 to 2 years of experience, ambition off the charts. we don't care about accolades. we care about grit, hunger, and the will to be top 1% at something. maybe you already were: national-level in a sport, a founder who built something real, a track record of outworking everyone in the room. maybe you're still becoming it. either way, you want opus to be where you get there.
• first commercial exposure. you've sold, fundraised or negotiated in some form: sponsorship acquisition for a student organization, a working student sales role, a small venture of your own. formal sales experience is not required, but you can show us where you've won people over.
• strong communicator with presence. you build rapport quickly on the phone and hold your own with experienced professionals. your energy is consistent from the first conversation of the day to the last.
• resilient by disposition. cold outreach means constant rejection. you keep the quality of your conversations high through the hundredth no, and you treat every one as information about the market.
• growth mindset. call reviews are where you get better, and you actually want the hard feedback. you improve week over week and it shows in your numbers.
• sharp on the phone in German. fluent German is a must (our buyers are Mittelstand manufacturers), solid professional English on top
