Meet the team behind this journey

DeepL is expanding its operations to match ambitious growth plans. At the heart of this journey is our Marketing team, a cornerstone of DeepL’s strategic outreach and brand-building efforts.

Our mission is to build and develop high-performing marketing teams that embody DeepL’s innovative spirit and drive for excellence. As a member of the Marketing team, you will craft and share the DeepL story with the world. Working closely with Product, Sales, and Customer Success teams, you will collaborate to create compelling campaigns and strategies that resonate with our global audience.

Your responsibilities

• Proactively engage prospects via phone, email, and social channels to generate qualified meetings for the sales team.
• Manage a high volume of outbound conversations, balancing speed with a personalised approach.
• Work closely with AI-powered tools and automation to streamline outreach and focus your time on high-value conversations.
• Partner closely with the wider DACH and AMIA sales teams to align on target accounts and messaging.
• Consistently hit activity and meeting-booked targets in a fast-paced, target-driven environment.
• Represent DeepL professionally and enthusiastically in every interaction, as often the first point of contact for prospects.

Qualities we look for

• Fluent in Italian and English.
• High energy, proactive, and comfortable picking up the phone and having lots of conversations day-to-day.
• A “hit the ground running” attitude—no direct SDR experience required, but you do need drive, resilience, and a positive, can-do mindset.
• Comfortable with change and ambiguity; we’re a fast-moving company and things evolve quickly.
• Genuine curiosity about AI and how it’s transforming sales development, rather than viewing it as a threat.
• Team player who thrives working closely with colleagues across sales in a collaborative, in-office culture (2–3 days/week in London).

What we offer

• Diverse and internationally distributed team: join a global community with people of more than 90 nationalities and a shared mission to connect diverse cultures. Our global presence is growing, and employees are based in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, the US, and Japan, with continued expansion.
• Open communication and regular feedback: we value clear, honest communication, smooth collaboration, and direct, actionable feedback.
• Hybrid work and flexible hours: a hybrid schedule with team members in the office twice a week, with flexibility to work from home. Flexible hours are aligned with general locations and time zones to support effective collaboration.
• Virtual Shares: an ownership mindset in every role, linking contributions directly to DeepL’s growth.
• Regular in-person team events: local team and business unit gatherings, new-joiner onboardings, and company-wide events.
• Monthly full-day hacking sessions: Hack Fridays to dive into projects you’re passionate about and collaborate with other teams.
• 30 days of annual leave: 30 days off (excluding public holidays) and access to mental health resources.
• Competitive benefits: a benefits package tailored to your location across the countries where our team is based.

If this role and our mission resonate with you, but you’re hesitant because you don’t check all the boxes, don’t let that hold you back. At DeepL, it’s about the value you bring and the growth we can foster together. Apply—we can’t wait to meet you.
