💼 About the Role

Murphy has grown in Spain purely through founder led sales so far, and it's actually worked well: we already have tens of happy customers in the market. Now we're building the first commercial team, and we're looking for the person who will own pipeline generation from day one.

You'll work Enterprise and Mid-Market accounts, mixing outbound prospecting with inbound follow up. What's missing is a repeatable engine for filling the pipeline, and that's what you'd be building alongside our first AE.

This is a founding SDR role, which means you won't be handed a script. You'll be figuring out what good outbound looks like here, how to get a senior buyer to actually respond, and how to talk credibly about a product in a space where trust matters more than almost anything else. You'll be coached directly by our VP of Revenue, who's done this kind of market building before.

Generate real pipeline, not just activity

This is account based outbound aimed at enterprise and mid-market accounts, not high volume SMB prospecting. You'll research target accounts properly and find ways to get in front of senior buyers in Finance, Ops, and Compliance, and you'll be measured on pipeline generated, not calls dialed.

Build the playbook

There isn't one yet, so you'll be writing your own messaging, testing what gets a response, and figuring out qualification criteria that actually hold up once a deal moves further along. Whatever works becomes the foundation for the next SDR we hire.

Get genuinely credible on the product

You'll need to speak with enough confidence about Murphy and the regulated finance space that a skeptical buyer takes you seriously. You'll schedule and support demos, and work closely with the AE to hand off opportunities that are actually ready.

Work closely with the people around you

You'll be coached directly by the VP of Revenue, and you'll feed what you're hearing from prospects back into Product, since this market still has a lot of room to shape what gets built. You'll also help with day to day sales tasks as the team gets off the ground.

📚 About you

• 2 to 5 years as an SDR, ideally including time as one of the first SDR hires at an early stage startup.

• Experience with enterprise or account based outbound, not high volume transactional SMB prospecting.

• You know how to research an account and find a way to get in front of a senior buyer, not just whoever picks up.

• You can speak credibly about a compliance heavy finance product, and you're comfortable when a buyer pushes back early.

• A track record of hitting pipeline generation targets, with real numbers behind it.

• Language fit for the Spanish market, native or fully fluent Spanish, extra languages are a plus.

• You build your own structure instead of waiting for someone to hand you one, and you genuinely want to grow into an AE or leadership role as this team scales.
