About AirOps

AirOps is the full-service platform for brand growth in the age of AI search. As consumers shift from traditional search engines to platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, the entire ruleset of growth is being rewritten. Buyers now rely on agents to discover, recommend, and purchase products and services for them. If your brand isn't part of the answer, you aren't in the running.

Our platform offers everything a brand needs to get found, recommended, and earn trust. We work with category leaders, including teams at Ramp, Chime, Airbnb, ServiceNow, and Rippling, to drive visibility and accelerate growth from AI search.

Backed by Greylock, Unusual Ventures, Wing VC, and Founder Collective, we're headquartered in San Francisco, New York, and Montevideo.

About the Role:

AirOps is opening its first dedicated EMEA sales development role at a moment when AI-driven content discovery is reshaping how European brands compete. You will own the full outbound motion across EMEA, prospecting into marketing and growth teams in the UK, DACH, Nordics, Benelux, France, Southern Europe, and beyond. This is not a UK-only seat.

You will build pipeline across multiple markets, navigating different buying cultures and business contexts every day. You'll work cross-functionally with Sales and GTM Engineering to turn intent signals into qualified discovery calls that map prospect pain to our AI capabilities. Based hybrid out of our central London office, you are the first face of AirOps for EMEA buyers. The role reports into our Sales leadership and carries a direct line to how quickly we scale internationally. If you want a front-row seat to building a region from scratch, this is it.

 
What you'll own:
  • Build the Engine: As one of the founding EMEA SDRs, you'll develop and execute creative outreach strategies that don't just hit targets, they crush them. You'll be the one finding the "needles in the haystack" and turning them into qualified pipeline.

  • Be an AI Matchmaker: Conduct discovery calls that act as deep-dive consultations. Your goal is to map prospect pain points to our AI capabilities, not just read a script.

  • Own the First Impression: You are the first face of AirOps. You’ll build authentic, high-trust relationships with key decision-makers before they even realize they need a better workflow.

  • Pass the Torch: Work in lockstep with our Account Executives to ensure that every handoff is seamless, qualified, and set up for a closed-won win.

  • The "Data Artist": Keep our CRM (our "Source of Truth") clean, organized, and actionable. We value data-driven iteration—if an email template isn't working, iterate, A/B test, and optimize until it does.

  • Startup Speed: In a high-growth environment, agility is your superpower. Whether you're troubleshooting a new outreach tool or jumping on a last-minute demo, you thrive on the "all-hands-on-deck" pace.

 
What you'll bring:
  • The "Hungry" Factor: 0-1 years of B2B SaaS sales experience. If you’ve got the grit, we’ll provide the roadmap. Bonus points if you’ve spent time in the marketing or growth-tech trenches.

  • Outreach Ninja: Whether it's a cold call, a hyper-personalized email, or a strategic LinkedIn connection, you know how to cut through the noise without sounding like a bot.

  • High EQ & Active Listening: You know that discovery is 80% listening and 20% speaking. You have the empathy to understand a prospect's frustrations and the communication skills to offer the solution.

  • Bias for Action: You are just as comfortable running solo on a new project as you are jumping into a team brainstorming session. You own your outcomes.

  • A Track Record of "Done": Whether it’s a side project, a degree, or a previous job, you have a history of starting things and actually finishing them.

  • The Vibe-Coder Mindset: We build with AI, and we want you to understand it. Experience coding, scripting, or playing around with "vibe-coding" platforms (Claude Code, Cursor, Lovable, etc.) is a massive plus. You don't need to be a software engineer, but you've ideally gone beyond simply using LLMs as research and content-generation tools.

  • Nice to have: Fluent in a European language beyond English. German, French, Spanish, Dutch, or a Nordic language would open doors across key EMEA markets.
