Taizen is hiring its first SDR to drive outbound sales for an AI-powered platform that builds purpose-built agents for Product Marketing, Sales Enablement, Sales, and Revenue Operations teams. The platform connects to tools like Gong, Salesforce, HubSpot, and Slack to automate recurring workflows for GTM teams—including CRM hygiene, deal intelligence, AI roleplay for call practice, competitive intelligence, and win/loss analysis.
In this phone-first role, you'll own cold outbound targeting VP Sales, Revenue, Product Marketing, Sales Enablement, and RevOps leaders. Your primary responsibility is booking high-quality meetings through cold calling, supported by email and LinkedIn. You'll research target companies and personas, test different openers and objection handlers live on calls, and provide constant feedback to the founders on what resonates with buyers.
You'll work directly with the two ex-Spotify founders to develop and refine the outbound playbook from scratch. As the company scales, you'll have the opportunity to own and scale that playbook, move into an Account Executive role, or help build the SDR team. Success is measured by meeting quality and conversion potential, not just activity metrics.
The ideal candidate has native-level English (essential for daily calls with English-speaking executives), comfort with cold calling or the determination to get comfortable quickly, resilience to handle rejection, and genuine curiosity about why prospects say no. Previous SaaS or SDR experience is not required—cold calling, telesales, recruitment, fundraising, hospitality, or other customer-facing backgrounds are valuable. You should be hungry to prove yourself, coachable, competitive, and excited by early-stage startups and AI.
You'll have unlimited access to Taizen's own AI Roleplay tool to practice calls and objections before speaking with real prospects. The role is in-person in Lisbon at least 4 days per week.
