About the role

We're looking for someone who's worked at a marketing/SEO agency and knows what it takes to close - someone who picks up the phone without thinking twice, and who hasn't been trained out of that instinct by years of "process."

On a day-to-day basis, you'll own the new-business side: working the leads that come your way, qualifying them, running discovery and demos, negotiating, and closing. You'll work closely with the Customer Success team, and get support from Marketing and RevOps. This role rewards initiative - the more you build and close, the more it shows, both in your results and in what you earn.

You will be responsible for:

* Work both sides of the pipeline: reaching out to existing leads in our CRM (conference, meetup, webinar, and community signals plus records of past interest) while building a new pipeline from scratch through your own outbound prospecting.

* Run multi-channel outreach on these leads across email, LinkedIn, and phone.

* Build and continuously refine ICP-aligned contact lists covering both marketing/SEO agencies and in-house SEO/marketing teams at companies.

* Qualify leads and run discovery calls, demos, and negotiations, owning the deal through to signed contract and payment.

Requirements:

* Minimum 3 years of B2B sales experience as an SDR/BDR/AE at a marketing/SEO agency or at a company selling into agencies.

* Proven track record of closing deals end-to-end, including negotiation and contracting.

* Familiarity with the SEO/content marketing space (content briefs, topical authority, SERPs).

* No hesitation picking up the phone the moment a lead is worth chasing.

* Motivated by closing deals, not just running a process. You know the satisfaction of seeing a deal through from first call to signed contract - and you want more of that.

* Outreach experience across email, LinkedIn, and phone.

* Familiarity with CRM and sales/outbound tools (we use HubSpot).

* Strong written and verbal English (C1 or above).

* Nice to have: experience selling a SaaS product (not a service); ABM (account-based marketing/sales) experience.

What we offer:

We build the team around experts and stay out of their way. That starts with the basics: a monthly base of approximately $2,800-$3,500 USD paid via a B2B contract - the standard self-employed/contractor setup for our EU-based team - plus a bonus system.

We take care of the things that matter outside the work itself - your health, your rest, the setup that lets you work well, and the chance to sharpen your craft. Everything else follows from how we operate: trust over control, outcomes over hours.
