Sales Development Representative | Netherlands | Remote

The Opportunity:

As a Sales Development Representative (SDR), you will focus on three core missions.  One, you will help our users and prospects navigate their Grafana journey by engaging with and listening to them in order to provide them with appropriate resources and guidance.  Two, with these learnings, you will partner with our Sales Team to connect with other influential people in these organizations to identify new business opportunities that are the pipeline for our company’s revenue goals by partnering proactively with our Sales Team. And three, you will develop valuable, transferable skills to help you achieve your career goals.  By fulfilling our three core  missions, you will contribute importantly to Grafana Labs’ community and business goals.  

We understand that our commercial success is linked to our open source DNA and users’ success with our software.  As such, we want team members who can effectively leverage this connection and help support the long-term health of our company.

In this role, you will balance reactive and proactive work, responding to inbound inquiries as well as outreaching to target accounts. You will need to research and have a detective mindset in order to craft thoughtful, value-add messaging; and you’ll need to be confident driving business conversations on the phone.  You will need to know how to use AI as a tool to constantly improve your productivity. 

This is a demanding and rewarding role.   It is a fast-paced and challenging environment.  While our company is growing sustainably,  we still have a lot of building and improving to do.  And we do this work together with our teammates from more than 15 different countries.  We're looking for driven, humble, technically curious  people who embrace a team-first attitude and demonstrate extreme ownership.   This is a great team to join, whether you’re just starting your career or looking to pivot into the tech industry.  You’ll have managers and teammates that care deeply about you as a professional and human, and you will learn more than you thought possible.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Build and maintain knowledge of our technology, competitors, open source ecosystem, and industry trends
• Follow up on inbound leads effectively and efficiently
• Use a multi-channel approach (email, social, calling) to proactively outreach to new leads within target accounts; our top SDRs are confident and effective on the phone
• Use Salesforce and Grafana dashboards for lead and account management and research
• Use research and data to prioritize and customize outreach to target prospects and accounts via email and LinkedIn
• Drive effective discovery conversations to understand users’ needs and goals in to provide them the appropriate resources and communicate how Grafana can help them 
• Consistently meet new business opportunity and pipeline targets
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams such as marketing and sales to win as a team

• Fluent in English (written and spoken)
• Open to feedback and coaching, always looking for ways to improve 
• Clear and concise written and verbal communication style
• Excellent organizational skills and the ability to prioritize many tasks and demands
• Willingness and ability to take on any task - no matter how small or big - with a focus on quality
