About the Role

We are looking for a highly motivated and energetic Sales Development Representative to join our global commercial organization and support our sales growth across Europe.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is at the beginning of their sales career and wants to grow within the world of B2B SaaS, fintech, and digital trade finance. The role is highly hands-on and requires strong sales orientation, persistence, sharp communication skills, and the ability to manage multiple leads and follow-ups at the same time.

As an SDR, you will play a key role in identifying, engaging, qualifying, and nurturing leads across different market segments. You will work with both inbound leads who have already shown interest in Surecomp, as well as outbound leads from our existing databases, event attendee lists, and targeted prospecting activities.

The role will support Surecomp’s solutions across both financial institutions and corporates. This means engaging with banking professionals, corporate treasury teams, and other relevant stakeholders, understanding their initial interest or pain points, creating curiosity around Surecomp’s value proposition, and helping move qualified leads toward the sales team.

The ideal candidate is proactive, organized, commercially minded, comfortable communicating by phone and email, and able to handle objections in a professional and confident way. This is a role for someone who understands that successful sales development requires consistency, follow-up, curiosity, and strong attention to detail.
