You will work directly with Sales with cross-functional collaboration with Product, and Presales teams to build the outbound engine from the ground up.

- Partner with Sales and Presales to move opportunities from first meeting to qualified pipeline
- Maintain strong CRM hygiene and a data-driven view of outreach effectiveness
- Align with Marketing on campaigns, webinars, and inbound follow-up
Experience & Competencies
- 3–6 years of inside sales / business development / SDR experience selling to the North American market
- Preferred (not mandatory): product / SaaS inside sales or BD experience — ideally in enterprise software or a global product company
- Exposure to Finance / Accounts Payable / Procure-to-Pay business processes is a strong plus
- Familiarity with the SAP ecosystem is an advantage
- Proven ability to run cold outbound and open doors without warm intros
- Data-driven mindset — comfortable segmenting accounts, tracking metrics, and iterating on what works
- Excellent written and spoken communication; able to explain complex ideas simply to senior, cross-cultural audiences
