As part of the creation of a new position in our Growth team in Italy, we are looking for someone passionate about sales and prospecting to help accelerate Edflex’s development on the Italian market.

⏳ Start date: ASAP!

As our Sales Development Representative, your main goal will be to build a qualified pipeline for our Account Executives in Italy. You will find the right entry points in our target accounts and book as many qualified meetings as possible 🏆

💙 Your main responsibilities

On a day-to-day basis, you will (non-exhaustive list!):

• Build target account lists by industry, based on concrete business signals: companies that are hiring, reorganising or launching upskilling projects. You enrich them with AI and choose the right angle of approach.

• Identify decision-makers (HR Directors, L&D and Training Managers) in large Italian companies and reach out to them by phone, around 50 to 60 calls a day, with a structured method: opening, objection handling and agreeing on a clear next step.

• Run multichannel outbound sequences (email, LinkedIn) using our sales tool stack, and improve them based on what works.

• Qualify each opportunity: a meeting counts when the company and the contact are in our target and show genuine interest in going further.

• Book discovery meetings, prepare them and hand over all the context our Account Executives need to make the most of them.

• Represent Edflex at trade fairs, conferences and industry events in Italy and abroad, and follow up on inbound leads and event contacts in close collaboration with Marketing.

• Manage your pipeline and activity autonomously in our CRM (HubSpot).

• Share field insights to sharpen our targeting and messaging for the Italian market.

You will report to Robert, Sales Manager, and benefit from close, day-to-day coaching from Elia, Senior SDR, to build your skills quickly. You will also work closely with our Account Executives and the Marketing team.

🔍 What we’re looking for

To succeed in this role, our future teammate will bring:

• At least 1 year of significant experience in B2B prospecting, ideally in SaaS

• Italian at native or bilingual level and professional English (French or Spanish is a real plus)

• Tenacity: a gatekeeper or a “no” won’t stop you

• Strong interpersonal skills and confidence on the phone and on video calls

• Rigour in organising your activity and tracking your KPIs

• Familiarity with tools such as HubSpot, Apollo, Lemlist, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Slack or Notion, or the drive to learn them quickly

• A thoughtful use of AI in your daily work, to prepare and personalise your outreach

• Availability to travel occasionally in Italy and abroad for events and company offsites

You care about the social impact of education, you are highly autonomous, you thrive on challenges and you enjoy working hand in hand with salespeople. You come up with ideas and keep smiling even when the coffee runs out ☕

If you want to build new skills, join an international entrepreneurial project and work for a company with a social impact, we can’t wait to receive your application 💙

➕ Why join us?
