Who are we?

We are Penneo, and we are on a mission to scale!

At Penneo, we want to build a world where you can trust the way businesses do business.

Penneo combines digital signing and Know Your Customer (KYC) workflows into a single platform that streamlines critical business processes for anti-money-laundering regulated B2B companies.

Founded in Copenhagen and operating throughout Europe, Penneo is fast becoming the go-to platform for companies looking to save time on administrative tasks while ensuring complete regulatory compliance and peace of mind for themselves and their clients.

Following our listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen Main Market in April 2022, we are now more than ever in a position to execute our European expansion strategy and scale our operations to maximize value to our existing and future customers.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for hungry sales talent ready to help us kick open doors in Germany and play a fundamental role in Penneo’s market expansion.

Do you want to be part of it?

We are now hiring a new German-speaking Sales Development Representative (SDR).  As our new SDR, your main goal will be to reach out to prospects within our Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) across different channels, such as phone, email and LinkedIn.

This is an extremely proactive position that demands grit and resilience. You have to love and find fun in the hunting of prospects.

You will work closely with our Sr. Manager of Sales, Germany, Milad Saleh.

The position is full-time, based in Copenhagen. 

 

What would be your responsibilities?

For our SDR, we foresee the following responsibilities, but you'll have the opportunity and freedom to influence and define them with us.

• Reach out to prospects within our Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) across different channels, such as phone, mail, Linkedin etc.
• Book qualified Meetings with Prospects within our ICPs
• Use Salesforce to create opportunities and update them with notes so you set up your sales colleagues for success. Knowledge of Salesforce is a plus but not a must.
• Understand the industries you work with and the messaging you need to apply to the conversations

What makes you a great match?

We believe that the following traits and experiences are essential for becoming successful in this role, and it is the basis upon which we assess candidates. However, we acknowledge that talent takes many forms, and we would still like to hear from you, even if you don't think you match all the points below.

We expect you to:

• Love talking with people and establishing new relationships
• See things evolve and grow and that your hard work is paying off. 
• Have an interest in continuously improving the way you approach people to increase the results.
• Show up with a willingness to learn and have the drive for building up something new.
• Be fluent in German and English
• Be a team player and have a work hard play hard mentality

 

How will this role progress?

It is important to us to be as transparent as possible and to allow you to level expectations for the role. Therefore, we share our impact description in advance and would love your thoughts about it in your cover letter.

During the 1st month, you will:  

• Meet your new colleagues and understand who is doing what.
• Get comfortable with the day-to-day operations of your job.
• Participate in Penneo’s onboarding program for all new Penneos.
• Understand the problems Penneo solves for customers.

• Book meetings within more of our ICPs.

Within 6 months, you will:

Within 12 months, you will:  

• You should expect that a good track record can land you the role as a Growth Manager or a National Sales Associate in our Sales team followed by higher targets and even more responsibility.

From this point on you have the opportunity to impact how your Penneo career develops, depending on what you want to achieve. 

Our SDRs are instrumental to our ambitious growth aspirations, and this is an entry role that can give you the opportunity to climb the sales career ladder.  

It all depends on your capabilities for continuous learning and equally important - your dreams for the future. Many of your colleagues have already done it and they will share their journey from SDR to Key Account Manager with you.

By now we hope you’re sitting with a smile on your face, ready to apply and contribute to the Penneo adventure.
