Location: We are ideally looking for candidates in the Munich region as the majority of our team members are local to that area. This is a remote role, but the team will meet periodically in person**

We're looking for a highly motivated and entrepreneurial Business Development Representative to help establish and scale our presence across the DACH region. As the first BDR dedicated to this market, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping our outbound strategy, building pipeline from the ground up, and helping define what success looks like in the region.

This is an opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys creating structure where it doesn't yet exist, and wants to have a direct impact on company growth. You'll work closely with Account Executives, Marketing, and Revenue Leadership to identify target accounts, develop territory strategies, engage key decision-makers, and generate qualified opportunities.

Success in this role requires curiosity, resilience, strong business acumen, and a willingness to experiment, learn, and iterate. You'll have the autonomy to own your territory while contributing to the development of processes, messaging, and best practices that will support future growth across DACH.

For the right candidate, this role offers the opportunity to make a visible impact, accelerate career progression, and help build the foundation of Optro's go-to-market success in the region.
