We're BlueCat—a Great Place to Work for good reason. Our team solves critical network challenges for some of the world's largest organizations.

Our Intelligent Network Operations platform delivers and enables AI-driven agentic ops at scale, automating and simplifying how companies manage, secure, and optimize their networks. But what makes us different is how we work: we believe great work happens in an environment where you're trusted, heard, and supported.

This role covers DACH, so German is a requirement • 1+ years of experience in sales, business development or another customer-facing role • Right to work in the UK / Germany **Preferred** • B2B technology experience • Exposure to infrastructure, cybersecurity, networking or SaaS • Experience working in a geographic territory model **You are** • Comfortable engaging both technical professionals and executive leaders • Curious, and able to connect technical challenges to business impact • Thoughtful in how you qualify and document opportunities • Accountable for your territory • Coachable and motivated to keep improving **Why This Role Matters** Pipeline quality drives revenue predictability and sales velocity at BlueCat. You will shape how opportunities enter and progress through the sales cycle, directly influence territory performance, and gain exposure to a diverse range of organizations across the UK and DACH. The SDR role is a launchpad. Strong performers can grow toward Senior SDR, Account Executive or other paths that match their interests and strengths.
