Job description

About Huzzle

At Huzzle, we connect exceptional talent with top opportunities at leading companies across the UK, US, Canada, Europe, and Australia. Our clients include fast-growing startups and established businesses in SaaS, MarTech, FinTech, and EdTech.

Unlike traditional outsourcing, you'll be placed directly with a client as a core member of their team—giving you real ownership, career progression, and long-term stability.

Role Type: Full-time

Location: On-site - Zurich, Switzerland

Languages: Fluent German and Swiss German (Mandatory)

About the Company

Our client is an innovative Swiss PropTech company transforming how property management companies handle residential re-letting.

By simplifying and streamlining the rental process, the company helps property managers reduce administrative workloads, save time, and manage property vacancies more efficiently.

As a growing startup operating in Switzerland and the wider DACH region, the company offers an exciting opportunity to work directly with its founders and play an important role in building its outbound sales function.

Job Summary

We are looking for a motivated, confident, and highly organized Sales Development Representative (SDR) to drive outbound B2B sales activities across Switzerland.

In this role, you'll be the first point of contact for property management companies, engaging decision-makers, introducing an innovative property management solution, and booking qualified product demonstrations for the founders.

Your primary focus will be cold calling, lead qualification, appointment setting, and CRM management.

This is a pure outbound sales development role. You won't be responsible for closing deals or managing accounts. Instead, you'll focus on opening doors, generating qualified opportunities, and building a strong sales pipeline.

You'll work closely with the founders, receive direct feedback, and help refine the company's outbound sales strategy.

Key Responsibilities

• Outbound Prospecting: Conduct approximately 40-50 outbound calls daily to pre-qualified property management companies across Switzerland
• Decision-Maker Engagement: Connect with managing directors, heads of property management, and other senior decision-makers
• Appointment Setting: Communicate the company's value proposition clearly and book qualified product demonstrations for the founders
• Lead Qualification: Assess prospects' needs, company size, and potential fit before scheduling meetings
• CRM Management: Maintain accurate and up-to-date records in Pipedrive, including call outcomes, follow-ups, contact information, and next steps
• Email Follow-Ups: Send personalized follow-up emails to prospects and nurture conversations until a meeting is confirmed
• Meeting Coordination: Confirm scheduled demonstrations, send reminders, and help maintain a high meeting attendance rate
• Lead Verification: Review and validate new leads generated through automated prospecting tools before adding them to the CRM
• Sales Feedback: Identify common objections, share market insights, and contribute to improving sales scripts and outreach strategies
• Founder Collaboration: Work directly with the founders to continuously improve outreach performance and lead quality

Requirements

• Fluent German and Swiss German are essential, including the ability to confidently communicate with Swiss German-speaking customers over the phone
• Strong verbal communication skills and the ability to engage senior decision-makers professionally
• Confidence making high-volume outbound cold calls and handling objections
• A proactive, resilient mindset with the ability to stay motivated despite rejection
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
• Ability to communicate a compelling value proposition clearly and concisely
• Strong time management skills and the ability to consistently meet activity targets
• Comfortable working with CRM systems and maintaining accurate sales records
• Ability to work independently while collaborating closely with a small, fast-moving team
• Must be based in Switzerland

Nice to Have

• Previous experience as a Sales Development Representative (SDR), Business Development Representative (BDR), or Outbound Sales Representative
• Experience in B2B cold calling, appointment setting, or lead generation
• Familiarity with Pipedrive or similar CRM platforms
• Experience in real estate, property management, PropTech, or related industries
• Previous experience selling to Swiss businesses or decision-makers in the DACH market
• Experience working in a startup or founder-led sales environment

Benefits

• Competitive Compensation: Fixed salary with the potential to earn performance-based bonuses for qualified, completed demos.
• High-Impact Role: Join a growing Swiss PropTech startup and directly contribute to its commercial growth.
• Professional Development: Build valuable experience in B2B outbound sales, lead generation, and the Swiss real estate technology sector.
• Clear Performance Goals: Work toward measurable KPIs with opportunities for performance-based rewards.
• Modern Sales Tools: Use Pipedrive CRM and automated lead generation systems to streamline your workflow.
• Meaningful Contribution: Help shape the company's outbound sales playbook, messaging, and prospecting processes.
