SDR TEAM LEAD

EU GTM | Cologne, Germany

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ABOUT THE TEAM

SumUp's Sales Development function is one of the fastest-growing parts of our European go-to-market engine. Our SDRs generate

qualified pipeline for high-performing field and inside sales reps across Germany and beyond — and we're now looking for a Team

Lead in Cologne to help take that to the next level. As SDR Team Lead, you'll be the day-to-day leader of a team of Sales

Development Representatives, coaching them to perform at their best while keeping a close eye on pipeline quality and activity

metrics. You'll sit at the intersection of people leadership, sales strategy, and operational excellence — playing a critical role

in how SumUp wins new business at scale across the SMB market.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Lead, coach, and develop a team of SDRs based in Cologne, driving strong performance across outbound activity, qualified

appointments set, and pipeline contribution

Run daily team rituals — standups, call reviews, 1:1s — to keep the team focused, motivated, and continuously improving

Monitor individual and team KPIs, identifying performance gaps early and putting the right support structures in place

Partner with Sales Managers, RevOps, and the Outbound Growth Lead to align on lead quality, targeting, and sequencing

Onboard and ramp new SDR hires, helping them hit their targets quickly and build strong sales habits from day one

Contribute to the development of outbound playbooks, cadences, and messaging — sharing what's working and iterating fast on

what isn't

Act as a career development partner for your team, identifying high performers and creating pathways into full-cycle sales

roles

Report on team performance to senior Sales leadership, with clear commentary on trends, blockers, and opportunities

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

YOU'LL BE GREAT FOR THIS ROLE IF…

You have proven experience as a top-performing SDR or inside sales rep, with some exposure to team leadership, mentoring, or

coaching

You understand what great outbound looks like — from prospecting and sequencing to objection handling and qualification — and

you know how to pass that on

You're a motivating, hands-on leader who leads by example and brings energy to the team, even on tough days

You're analytical and structured, comfortable using data to diagnose performance issues and make clear decisions

You're a strong communicator — equally effective coaching a rep on a live call or presenting pipeline updates to senior

stakeholders

You thrive in a fast-moving environment where structures are still evolving and your initiative makes a real difference

You speak German fluently and have a working level of English for internal communication

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Senior Sales Development Representative (m/w/d)

Maltego•Munich Headquarters

WHY WE NEED YOU As Senior Sales Development Representative (DACH), you are a senior individual contributor and player‑coach responsible for delivering a predictable pipeline across inbound and outbound motions. You set the standard for execution quality and help scale team performance through hands‑on coaching, including call coaching, messaging feedback, objection handling, and pipeline discipline in close partnership with Sales, Marketing, and GTM leadership. You also play a key role in scaling inbound qualification through an agentic SDR, improving speed and consistency of initial lead handling while enabling the team to focus on high‑value customer conversations. In this role, you lead by example, mentor other SDRs, collaborate closely with Sales, Marketing, and GTM leadership, and help turn strategy into repeatable, predictable pipeline generation. WHAT TO EXPECT * Lead first‑touch qualification and establish best‑practice standards for discovery and handover quality. * Build repeatable pipeline through multi‑channel outbound execution (phone, email, LinkedIn, face to face) and tight alignment with Account Executives. * Provide player‑coach leadership through call coaching, message reviews, objection handling, and pipeline discipline to accelerate ramp and raise team performance. * Own the SDR operating system (process, tooling, KPIs, reporting, handoffs) and drive adoption of an agentic SDR for scalable inbound qualification. * Collaborate cross‑functionally to align ICP focus, campaign execution, and closed-loop feedback to continuously improve performance. * Drive continuous improvement through KPI management (e.g., response, conversion, and show rates) and disciplined performance reviews. YOUR PROFILE IN SHORT * You are a strong communicator with a confident executive presence and the ability to engage, influence, and persuade stakeholders through clear and structured conversations. * You bring several years of experience as an SDR and are motivated to help others succeed through coaching, feedback, and leading by example. * You have prior experience taking on leadership responsibilities(e.g., mentoring, onboarding, quality reviews, acting as a go‑to person or informal team lead); formal people management experience is a plus but not required. * You are technically curious and AI-savvy, with an interest in leveraging automation and agentic SDR capabilities to improve inbound qualification, productivity, and pipeline quality. * You think entrepreneurially, work in a solution-oriented way, and are highly driven to achieve and exceed ambitious goals. * You set high personal standards, enjoy solving complex challenges, and are creative in how you reach your targets. * You speak and write fluent German and English; additional languages are a plus. * You are excited about technology, continuous learning, and career progression and are looking for a role with real impact, not just the next job.
