Profil recherché
Must-have* min 2 years of experience in a BDR, SDR, or outbound sales role, ideally in B2B SaaS or fintech.
* Native or fluent English (C2): you operate across international markets, and your communication is your primary tool.
* A proven track record in outbound prospecting: you are comfortable initiating conversations via phone, email, and LinkedIn, and you know how to earn a reply.
* Resilience and tenacity: you treat rejection as a data point, not a verdict.
* Excellent written communication: you write cold messages that feel relevant, not templated.
* Intellectual curiosity about ESG and sustainable finance: you are genuinely excited by a market driven by regulatory change and long-term impact.
* Comfort engaging senior stakeholders: you can hold a credible conversation with a Head of ESG or a CIO at a major financial institution.
* Structured and data-driven: you track your activity, test your messaging, and iterate based on what you learn.

* French language skills, a plus for internal collaboration with the Paris team.
**CAREER PATH**
High-performing BDRs have two clear paths: progress into an Account Executive role, taking ownership of the full sales cycle and managing their own portfolio of accounts; or grow within the Business Development function itself, taking on greater scope, seniority, and strategic responsibility as the team scales across Europe and North America. You will receive direct mentorship from the commercial leadership team and structured training on WeeFin’s sales methodology and the ESG market.
