Founding European SDR at Tremendous - Remote Europe — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
Remote-First, But Phone-Heavy: This role is fully remote, which is a great start for location-independent workers. However, the expectation of 100 cold calls per day is a significant constraint for nomads. You'll need a reliable, high-quality VoIP setup and a quiet, professional environment — hostel common rooms and beach cafes won't cut it.
Timezone Reality: The role targets DACH markets (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), meaning your working hours must align with Central European Time (CET/CEST, UTC+1/+2). This limits viable nomad bases to Europe itself, or nearby regions like North Africa or the Middle East where time overlap is feasible. Bali or Southeast Asia would create an unworkable timezone gap for live calling hours.
Best Nomad Bases for This Role:
- Lisbon, Portugal: UTC+0/+1, excellent coworking scene, digital nomad visa available. On a £45K–£52K base, you'd live very comfortably here.
- Tbilisi, Georgia: UTC+4 — slightly late for DACH mornings but manageable. Very low cost of living; the £45K base goes extremely far.
- Barcelona, Spain: CET timezone — perfect alignment. More expensive than Lisbon but still affordable on this salary versus UK costs.
Visa Note: As the role is open across Europe, EU/EEA citizens have no barrier. Non-EU nomads should investigate Portugal's Digital Nomad Visa or Spain's equivalent for longer stays.

About the Role
We're looking for a Founding European SDR to help launch and scale Tremendous' outbound motion internationally. As our first international SDR hire, you'll be responsible for identifying, engaging, and booking meetings with high-potential prospects, while helping define how we sell into new European markets.
You will partner closely with Account Executives to generate meetings and act as the first point of contact for prospective customers. This role requires strong outbound execution across email, phone, social, events, and field marketing, with meaningful ownership over account development and early market strategy.
As a founding hire, you will have the opportunity to shape messaging, process, and best practices for international sales while directly impacting pipeline, revenue growth, and Tremendous' expansion internationally.
What You'll Do
- Work primarily to bring in new deals through outbound prospecting.
- Own your pipeline through cold calling first. The phone is your primary weapon; you'll be expected to make 100 cold calls per day, book meetings over the phone, and treat every unanswered call as the next opportunity to dial again. Email and LinkedIn support your outreach — they don't replace it.
- Collaborate with Account Executives, as well as members of our Marketing, Strategy, and RevOps teams, to develop new strategies to build our sales pipeline and grow our business.
- Use prospecting tools to research accounts, identify key contacts, and craft targeted messaging.
- Learn our technology and effectively communicate our value proposition. Work to understand prospects' goals and challenges to better understand how we can help.
What You'll Bring
- Fluency in both English and German, enabling you to engage prospects across our DACH markets.
- A phone-first mentality — cold calling isn't something you tolerate, it's how you start your day, every day, without being told to.
- A demonstrated history of consistently exceeding personal and professional goals, with a strong commitment to excellence in all endeavors.
- A curious, lifelong-learner mindset with a passion for continuous improvement, staying updated on industry trends and best practices.
- A customer-obsessed sales approach with a deep commitment to understanding and addressing the unique needs of clients.
- Workplace proficiency in at least one additional language beyond English (preferably German, Spanish, or French).
- Independence — taking pride in experimenting and finding your own answers is the best way to learn.
- Collaboration — when you uncover new trends and tactics that work, you share them with teammates so everyone can benefit.
- Ambition — we're a team of achievers collaborating on a fast-growing product, which means personal growth in both role and responsibility, plus significant personal upside.
What's Cool About the Role
- Competitive pay and equity. Base salary: £45K–£52K; OTE: £65K–£78K.
- Fully remote.
- Great culture. Read more about how we work in our public handbook.
