About the team

As a Sales Development Representative (SDR) at Stripe, you'll support some of the region's largest and most innovative companies across various industries. You'll help power Stripe's growth engine by partnering closely with the Demand Generation and Account Executive teams to qualify leads and build a high-quality sales pipeline. You thrive on engaging with prospects, uncovering their needs, and identifying high-value opportunities. You're skilled at navigating early-stage sales conversations and energized by both learning new products and articulating their value in complex scenarios.

You also enjoy building-whether it's improving the demand generation and sales processes, sharpening how we communicate Stripe's value, or creating tools and assets that help the team scale. If you're hungry, curious, persistent, and a strong team player, we'd love to hear from you.

For the first months, you'll be part of the Sales Development Associate program, which is designed to accelerate your onboarding and ramp to full productivity as an SDR. This intensive program is built to help you quickly build and develop skills required to be successful in this role. Upon completion, you'll continue learning and growing in your career as part of Stripe's Sales Development Academy. These programs are endorsed and supported by sales leaders as an important part of investing in our people.

We take a data-driven, problem-solving approach to sales development, and look for someone who is confident in both prospecting to customers and in helping design our strategy.
