Meet the team behind this journey

In this role, you’ll convert high-intent inbound interest into a qualified pipeline for the business. You’ll work closely with our Marketing team to maximize the return on events (webinars, trade shows, DeepL Connect, virtual events) and always-on campaigns (contact forms, trials, white papers, content downloads). As often the first person a prospect speaks to, you’ll shape their entire experience with DeepL from the very first touch.

We’re looking for an energetic, curious, and team-oriented person with a passion for communication and languages, and a desire to be part of a hyper-growth scale-up.

• Respond rapidly to inbound leads from contact forms, free trials, webinars, and content downloads.
• Prioritize leads based on intent signals to ensure timely, relevant, value-driven communication.
• Nurture prospects who aren’t immediately ready with helpful content and well-timed follow-up.
• Own end-to-end follow-up for event leads, maintaining quality and speed even during high-volume periods.

Qualification & Pipeline Generation

• Apply a structured qualification framework to ensure every meeting is well-documented and properly qualified.
• Convert inbound interest into well-prepared, qualified sales opportunities.

What we’re looking for

• Fluency in German and English (written and spoken).
• Around 12 months of relevant sales or customer-facing experience (SDR/BDR/Inside Sales), ideally in SaaS.
• Highly organized, with strong personal initiative—comfortable driving your own workload with minimal oversight.
• Confidence working with stakeholders based remotely in Germany.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to build rapport quickly.
• Strong time management; able to juggle multiple leads, channels, and priorities.

Nice to haves

• Experience with DACH enterprise or mid-market prospects.
• Familiarity with CRM and sales engagement tools (e.g., Salesforce, Salesloft).
• Interest in helping improve how the team converts and engages inbound leads.
• Fluency in another European language.

What success looks like

• You consistently deliver qualified meetings per month with strong opportunity acceptance rates.
• You maintain rapid speed-to-lead across all inbound channels.
• German-based stakeholders value your proactive communication and reliability.
• You contribute ideas that help sharpen how the team converts and engages inbound interest.
• You demonstrate growing commercial judgment and confidence handling a wider range of inbound scenarios.
