Remote European SDR at Tremendous - Work Anywhere EU — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
Remote-first, but Europe-anchored: This role is fully remote, which is great news for nomads — but it comes with a practical constraint. You'll be cold-calling European businesses, which means your working hours need to align with European business hours (roughly CET/GMT, ~9am–6pm). If you're based outside of Europe, significant time zone overlap is effectively required.
Location flexibility within Europe: Because the role targets French- and German-speaking markets, you'll likely need to be reachable during EU business hours. Popular nomad hubs that work well here include Lisbon (WET/WEST), Barcelona (CET), and Budapest (CET) — all within comfortable range of target markets.
Cost-of-living comparison (base £37k–£45k):
- Lisbon, Portugal: A comfortable lifestyle runs ~£1,800–£2,500/month. This salary stretches well here.
- Medellín, Colombia: Time zone mismatch (UTC-5) makes this very challenging for European call blocks.
- Budapest, Hungary: ~£1,400–£2,000/month; strong purchasing power and within CET timezone.
Watch out: The expectation of 100 cold calls per day requires a quiet, professional environment — coworking spaces in Europe are your best bet. No explicit coworking or equipment stipend is mentioned in the posting.

About the Role
We're looking for a Founding European SDR to help launch and scale Tremendous' outbound motion internationally. As one of our first international SDR hires, 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 English as well as French or German to engage prospects across European markets.
- A phone-first mindset — 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.
- 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.
- Proficiency in English and workplace proficiency in at least one other language (preferably German, Spanish, or French).
- Independence — taking pride in experimenting and finding your own answers is the best way to learn.
- Collaboration — when SDRs uncover new trends and tactics that work, they share them with teammates so everyone benefits.
- Ambition — we're a team of achievers on a fast-growing product, with personal growth in role and responsibility, plus significant personal upside.
What's Cool About the Role
- Competitive pay and equity. Base salary: £37k–£45k. OTE: £52k–£60k.
- Fully remote.
- Great culture. Read more about how we work in our public handbook.
