About us - Join our mission to fight climate change

Do you want to be part of one of Europe's fastest-growing climate tech startups? We are looking for a Sales Development Representative (SDR) with a strong growth mindset to tackle the day-to-day challenges of building and growing a business.

With our Climate ERP platform, we help enterprise leaders like Maersk, Nippon Express Europe (NX Group), and DMG MORI manage and reduce emissions across complex value chains.

? Your mission:

As a Sales Development Representative, you’ll be part of our growing GTM team and help generate the pipeline that fuels Cozero’s growth. You’ll connect with decision-makers in enterprise organizations, spark curiosity about our solution, and qualify prospects for our Account Executives.

You’ll learn the craft of enterprise SaaS sales—using AI tools, data, and creative experimentation to build a repeatable, high-impact outbound motion.

? What you’ll do:

  • Create pipeline: Generate qualified opportunities for our Account Executives through targeted outbound and responsive inbound follow-up.
  • Research & personalization: Build target lists, understand key personas, and tailor your outreach to each account using both human insight and AI assistance.
  • Run sequences: Use email, phone, and LinkedIn to connect with sustainability, finance, and operations leaders in enterprise companies.
  • Qualify leads: Conduct discovery calls to understand pain points and ensure a strong fit (BANT/MEDDPICC-aligned).
  • Collaborate closely: Work hand-in-hand with Marketing and Sales on messaging, campaigns, and data feedback loops.
  • Experiment & learn: Test new AI-powered tools, sequence variations, and messaging angles—documenting learnings to help us continuously improve.
  • Stay organized: Keep HubSpot clean, up-to-date, and detailed—because if it’s not in the CRM, it didn’t happen.

We think you’ll thrive in this role if:

  • Experience: 1–3 years in SDR/BDR roles within SaaS or tech environments; experience with enterprise-level prospects is a plus.
  • Curiosity for AI: You’re comfortable experimenting with AI tools for prospecting, content drafting, and insights generation.
  • Communication: You write and speak clearly, confidently, and with empathy—especially when addressing C-level personas.
  • Structured mindset: You work methodically, measure what works, and iterate.
  • Tools: HubSpot (or Salesforce), Salesloft/Outreach, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Lusha/Clay/Cognism. Familiarity with Notion, Slides, or Gong/Avoma is a plus.
  • Motivation: You’re excited to learn enterprise sales from the ground up and help shape how climate action becomes part of business performance.
  • Languages: Fluency in German and English (C1) is required.

This funding allows us to expand and enhance our platform, integrating sustainability into business operations.

With us, you’ll have the opportunity to dive into the world of a high-growth SaaS startup and gain hands-on experience across key areas of early-stage operations. You’ll work in an exciting, dynamic, multicultural, and supportive environment, closely collaborating with our co-founders Fabian, Helen, and Tiago.
