Ready to take on a dynamic role where responsiveness and curiosity drive results? We’re on the hunt for a Sales Development Representative (SDR) in the EMEA region who will be responsible for qualifying high-intent inbound leads and booking meetings for their Account Executive partners. As the first line of communication with many of our prospective customers, SDRs need to have a strong understanding of Kinsta’s product and sales process, excel at handling live chats and inbound calls, and be confident in asking the right questions to uncover sales opportunities.
The primary focus of this role is managing the inbound phone line and chat function on the Kinsta website, engaging active buyers, and qualifying them using our criteria. In addition, SDRs will support outbound prospecting when inbound volume is low, re-engaging past leads and participating in targeted campaigns as needed. This role also includes responsibilities like surfacing opportunities from within the CRM and keeping contact and company records clean and up to date. SDRs who demonstrate strong performance and alignment with the Kinsta Ethos will have access to new challenges and growth opportunities within the revenue organization.
If you thrive on creating great first impressions, love engaging prospects, and want to drive measurable impact — we want you on our team!

- Routinely exceed inbound activity goals by improving response quality, speed, and conversion rates.
- Keep HubSpot contact, company, and deal records up to date with accurate, detailed notes.
- Surface new opportunities for Account Executives by researching accounts and filtering prospects inside the CRM.
- Support outbound prospecting when inbound volume is low by re-engaging past leads, MQLs, and campaign responders.
- Use prospecting tools like Vidyard, Vidu, Lusha, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and HubSpot CRM to identify outbound opportunities and enroll them in follow-up sequences.
- Participate in outbound lead generation campaigns as assigned by the Head of Sales Development.
- Provide feedback and suggestions to improve prospecting workflows, live chat quality, and inbound call routing.
- Take ownership of 1:1 meetings by preparing for them and implementing plans discussed with the Head of Sales Development.
What You'll Bring to the role:
- At least 1–2 years of work experience, preferably in sales development or in a similar role.
- A results-oriented mindset and confidence with cold calling, written, social media, and video outreach to effectively connect with prospects and drive interest.

- Tech-savvy, with a strong interest in technology.
Bonus points if you have:
