Your role

We’re looking for someone to join the SDR/BDR team at IamIP. Together, we’ll attract more companies in the DACH market to our SaaS platform for patent and IP management.

You’ll work closely with the account executives. This involves reaching out to selected companies in the DACH region by phone and email, qualifying prospects, and scheduling appointments that lead to real business opportunities. This role is a good fit for you if you enjoy initiating new opportunities over the phone, can quickly get up to speed on technical topics, and want to grow into a BDR team lead or account executive over the long term.

At IamIP, you’ll experience how a SaaS platform makes patent portfolios transparent and helps companies keep track of competitors and technology trends.

Your key responsibilities

• Telephone Prospecting: You’ll make outbound calls daily and qualify prospects over the phone.
• Scheduling Appointments: You’ll schedule qualified appointments for our account executives.
• Lead Management: You manage inbound and outbound leads in accordance with the agreed-upon KPIs.

Your profile

• Qualifications: Degree in business administration, economics, business informatics, industrial engineering, or a comparable qualification.
• Experience: At least 1 year in B2B sales, ideally as an SDR, BDR, or in inside sales at a SaaS company.
• Persistent Phone Skills: Making calls isn’t a challenge for you - it’s your specialty: You enjoy making calls, stay on the line, and - with a structured approach - can turn even a rocky start into a productive conversation.
• Communication: You confidently engage with subject matter experts and decision-makers right from the start.
• Willingness to Learn: You’re committed to professional and personal growth and actively seek out feedback.
• Work Style: You work independently and as part of a team; you’re organized and can keep track of things even when dealing with many contacts.
• Languages: Very good written and spoken German and English are required. French and Swedish are a plus.
