Taizen is an early-stage, VC-funded AI company building purpose-built agents for Product Marketing, Sales Enablement, Sales, and Revenue Operations teams. The agents integrate with tools like Gong, Salesforce, HubSpot, and Slack to automate recurring workflows for CRM hygiene, deal intelligence, AI roleplay training, competitive intelligence, and win/loss analysis.
As the company's first SDR, you will drive outbound prospecting with cold calling as the primary channel. Your core responsibility is booking high-quality meetings with VP-level GTM leaders (VP Sales, Revenue, Sales Enablement, Product Marketing, RevOps). You'll research target companies and personas, test messaging and objection handlers live on calls, and use email and LinkedIn as supporting channels. You'll work directly with the founders to refine targeting, messaging, and sales playbooks based on prospect feedback.
Key responsibilities include running daily outbound cold calling, researching prospects thoroughly, testing different openers and pitches, providing feedback on buyer objections and interests, and using Taizen's own AI Roleplay tool to practice before real calls. The role emphasizes outcome over activity—your success is measured by booking qualified meetings that convert to sales opportunities.
The ideal candidate has native-level English (essential for daily calls with English-speaking executives), comfort with phone outbound, resilience to rejection, coachability, and curiosity about why prospects say no. Previous SDR or SaaS experience is not required; relevant backgrounds include cold calling, telesales, recruitment, fundraising, or hospitality. You should be hungry to prove yourself, competitive, high-agency, and excited about early-stage startups and AI.
The role is based in Barcelona with in-person attendance required at least 4 days per week. Compensation is €30k base + €15k variable (€45k OTE) with uncapped commission. You'll receive direct coaching from founders, unlimited access to Taizen's AI Roleplay for practice, involvement in building the outbound playbook, and a clear path to senior SDR, Account Executive, or sales leadership roles as the company scales.
