Be the voice of a global tech leader in our Emerging Market's Team.

At Anaplan, our Sales Development Representatives (SDRs) are more than just a first point of contact – they are the catalyst for our growth. As the very first voice a potential client hears, you will be our most important first impression.

In this new role we are seeking a native or bilingual fluency in German – alongside fluent English.

When you connect with target accounts, you’ll deliver a game‑changing message: there is a better, easier way to do business planning, forecasting, and modelling. You will use strategic Account‑Based Marketing techniques to build rapport, nurture relationships, and set the stage for our direct enterprise sales force. Exciting, right?

How You’ll Make an Impact:

• Drive Global Growth: Generate exciting sales opportunities by rapidly following up on inbound leads and launching targeted outbound prospecting (calls, emails, social) into our key markets.
• Strategise & Collaborate: Partner closely with our top‑tier Enterprise Sales reps to design Account‑Based Sales strategies—targeting the right person, at the right time, with the perfect message.
• Master Value Selling: We are invested in your success. We’ll continuously support your learning and development, teaching you how to lead high‑level, value‑based discussions with industry leaders.
• Crush Your Goals: Challenge yourself to consistently meet and exceed weekly and monthly metrics. Your due diligence and hustle will directly drive the continued success of our sales function.

What We’re Looking For:

• Language Skills: Native or bilingual fluency in German
• The Drive to Win: A demonstrable track record of meeting and exceeding targets—whatever they may have been in your past roles. Any exposure to closing sales is a huge plus.
• Ideal Experience: 1–2 years of inside sales or business development experience (especially in SaaS/Cloud) is preferred, including experience calling into Fortune 2000 CXOs.
• Unconventional Backgrounds Welcome: Don’t have SaaS experience yet? If you have a relentless drive, a passion for sales, and an eagerness to learn, we still want to hear from you!
