Job description

Junior Sales Development Representative (Dutch-speaking) Salary up to £36,000| Remote/Occasional travel to Edinburgh

Love talking to people? Speak Dutch? Start your sales career here.

You don't need a sales background or technical expertise to join us. What matters is the right attitude, strong communication skills and a real enthusiasm for connecting with people. We'll teach you the rest.

We're looking for a Dutch speaker to join our sales team as a Junior SDR and help open doors with new clients across the Dutch-speaking market.

What you'll be doing

You'll work alongside an experienced sales professional who will coach you as you learn the ropes. Day to day, you'll research Dutch companies and find the right decision-makers to talk to, then reach out by email, LinkedIn and phone to introduce our and spark interest. When a prospect is keen, you'll book introductory meetings for our Netherlands-based sales team. Along the way you'll keep our CRM up to date, help prepare for sales meetings and share regular updates on your progress.

What we're looking for

• A Dutch speaker (this is essential) with excellent spoken and written Dutch
• Good English, both written and spoken
• Someone confident, friendly and happy to start conversations with new people
• A resilient attitude: you stay positive when a call doesn't go your way
• Self-motivation, organisation and an eagerness to learn
• Comfort with email, LinkedIn and Microsoft Office
• A genuine interest in building a career in sales and business development

Nice to have, but not required: experience in customer service, retail, telesales, recruitment or business development; any exposure to cold calling or lead generation; familiarity with CRMs like HubSpot or SharpSpring; an interest in technology or IT services.

Previous SDR experience isn't necessary. Entry-level applicants are very welcome.

What you'll get

• A competitive basic salary plus commission
• Hands-on coaching from experienced sales professionals
• Exposure to the Dutch and wider European tech markets
• Skills in business development and communication that will last a career
• A supportive, collaborative team
• Room to grow as the business expands

Bright Purple is proud to be an equal opportunities employer. We partner with clients who share our commitment to diversity and inclusion across the industry.
