Client Development Representative with German

Job description

The Role This is an outbound sales role. But it’s not the kind where you read from a script and hope for the best. As a Client Development Representative, you’ll be the first person potential clients hear from. Your role isn’t to close deals - it’s to start genuine conversations. You will reach out to pharmaceutical companies across Europe and Asia-Pacific, connect with the right people, earn their attention, and hand off well-qualified opportunities to the Account Executive team. Here’s why this domain is worth learning: pharmaceutical serialisation is a legal requirement that affects every drug moving through a supply chain in Europe and Asia-Pacific. When it breaks down, products can be pulled, shipments fail compliance, and manufacturers face regulatory action. The companies this team supports want to prevent exactly that - and they’re looking for partners who understand the stakes. It’s a niche that rewards people who are genuinely curious about how complex systems work. The client base spans Western Europe and Asia-Pacific, so outreach happens in English as the default Full training is provided. What matters most is discipline, a structured approach, and the confidence to drive outbound activity at volume. What You Will Do Open doors through outbound outreach Conduct structured outbound calls to pharmaceutical manufacturers, CMOs, and distributors across Europe and APAC - you’ll build pipeline through volume outreach, and you’ll be comfortable with that rhythm Connect with decision-makers - supply chain managers, compliance leads, senior executives - via phone, email, and LinkedIn Lead conversations that focus on understanding their challenges, not pitching right away Book qualified discovery meetings for the Account Executive team Map the market Research target accounts: who they are, what regulatory pressures they face, and whether they’re a genuine fit Follow up on inbound leads from webinars, events, and marketing campaigns Keep the pipeline honest Log every interaction in Zoho CRM - calls, emails, outcomes, next steps - clearly and consistently Prepare concise briefing notes for Account Executives before each meeting Share weekly performance reports with activity data and observations from the field Your First 30 Days In your first four weeks, you’ll shadow live calls, complete serialisation and compliance training, and build your first target account list. By the end of week six, you’ll be running outreach independently, with a full pipeline under your name. What They Are Looking For No padded lists, no "nice to haves." If it’s listed, it matters.
