This is a founding role. You will not inherit a process, you will define it.
👩💻🧑💻 As an SDR at Qonto, you will
- Be the first point of contact for every inbound lead, qualifying fast and turning conversations into booked demos for our Account Executives
- Build real rapport with French decision-makers (CEOs, CFOs) from the very first call, understanding their business before handing them off to the right AE
- Sustain a high-tempo inbound motion: around 50 calls a day, a 5-minute response target on fresh leads, and 4 to 5 demos booked daily
- Keep demos on track by chasing no-shows and rescheduling, so nothing falls through the cracks
- Own the build from day one: flag what is broken, keep the CRM sharp, define the handoff standard with AEs, and lay the groundwork for the outbound motion future SDRs will run
- A founding role: you define this function's standards from scratch, with real influence on how SDR scales at Qonto
- A 100%-inbound start, with a clear opportunity to help design and launch outbound as the team grows
