Job description

We are looking for someone a positive attitude who wants to learn and grow in a high-growth organization. You get energy from reaching out to new people, opening doors, and seeing conversations turn into opportunities. You’re not afraid of a “no”: you see it as part of the process and keep going.

You’re structured, proactive, and eager to experiment. You’re comfortable with data and digital tools, and you treat AI as your co‑pilot, using it to research accounts, personalize outreach, and speed up execution. Most importantly, you don’t wait for instructions: you create opportunities and take ownership of results.

This position is a great opportunity to help Settly grow our outbound pipeline while further developing your communication skills, business acumen, and sales skills.

• Experiment with outbound messaging, sequences, and personalization to increase reply and meeting rates.
• Use HubSpot, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and other tools to manage and track outbound activity and pipeline.
• Test and implement new outbound tactics and approaches to grow pipeline consistently.
• Monitor and report on activity, meetings booked, and pipeline impact, with a focus on continuous improvement.
• Support the Head of Sales in executing our growth plans, including sales list management, outreach campaigns, and personalized prospecting.
• Conduct account research and prepare prospect briefs ahead of meetings.
• Help craft follow-ups, proposals, and sales materials.
• Track and update CRM to ensure pipeline accuracy and visibility.

About you

• Experience: We are looking for someone with the right foundational traits and customer-facing experience. If you are resilient, positive, and want to develop a career in sales, this is for you.
• Growth mindset: You’re curious, coachable, and eager to learn. You thrive on experimentation, feedback, and iteration.
• Hands-on execution: Comfortable running outreach end-to-end and managing your own pipeline of activity.
• Communication: Confident on the phone and in writing; you enjoy starting conversations with new people.
• Digital fluency: Experience with (or quick to learn) tools like HubSpot, LinkedIn, and Google Sheets.
• AI literate: You use AI tools daily to research, generate copy, and personalize outreach.
• Analytical: Confident with data, able to spot patterns, measure results, and adjust your approach based on evidence.
• Drive: High energy, resilient, and motivated by impact. You take ownership and don’t stop until results are achieved.
• Languages: Fluent in Dutch and English. This is a unique position where Dutch is required.
