# Founding BDR

**Clera** · Berlin

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/clera/81d2c326-938f-4c4e-81c2-97a12ebab365

## About the role

##### About the Role

This is the founding BDR position at an early-stage B2B AI/ML startup targeting Europe's industrial enterprises. You'll own the entire top of funnel, working directly alongside the COO to build the outbound motion from scratch and drive pipeline that moves ARR.

##### What You'll Do

- Make cold calls every day, treating each conversation as real-time market feedback and an opportunity to sharpen your approach.

- Build and prioritize a target account list, identifying which industrial enterprises fit the ICP and which trigger events make outreach timely.

- Work warm leads from trade fairs, webinars, and existing relationships, deciding which move first and how to convert interest into booked meetings.

- Execute multi-channel cadences across cold call, LinkedIn, and email, spotting what lands and feeding insights back to sharpen messaging weekly.

- Book qualified discovery meetings with procurement leaders and C-level contacts at complex industrial enterprises, focused on pipeline quality over activity volume.

- Bring market intelligence back to the team: every objection and refined message informs how the company positions, builds, and targets accounts.

- Shadow discovery calls early on and grow into running them, building a clear path from BDR toward owning deals.

##### What We're Looking For

- 0 to 2 years of commercial experience in sales, fundraising, sponsorship acquisition, or a venture of your own, with a demonstrated track record of winning over stakeholders.

- Fluent German, essential for phone conversations with German industrial buyers, and solid professional English for international communication.

- Proven ability to execute cold outreach by phone, email, and LinkedIn and convert conversations into qualified meetings with enterprise decision-makers.

- Experience building and running multi-channel sales sequences and prioritizing target accounts based on ICP fit.

- Comfortable working in enterprise or complex B2B sales environments with layered decision-making structures.

- Resilient by nature: you treat rejection as information and keep conversation quality high through high-volume outreach.

- Growth mindset with a hunger for hard feedback and measurable improvement week over week.

- Familiarity with supply chain, procurement, manufacturing, or industrial operations is a plus, as is experience with CRM and sales engagement platforms.

##### Compensation & Benefits

28 vacation days and flexibility when you need to recharge. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

##### Location

On-site five days per week in Berlin, Germany. Remote work is not an option for this position.
