Backed by over $55 million from top-tier investors like Sequoia Capital, we're committed to accelerating life changes for millions of current and future European homeowners. ## The role As a Business Development Representative (BDR), you are the first commercial point of contact with our prospects. You join Zefir's Sales team and reach out to homeowners who have run a valuation on our website but have not booked an appointment yet. The core of the role is reactivation: these homeowners showed interest, then stopped there. You are the one who gets them moving again, on the phone, one by one. Your goal as a BDR: create the sales opportunities that feed our revenue directly. ## What you will do - Handle around 100 calls per day, with a target of 3 to 4 meetings booked daily. - Run qualification calls of about 20 minutes: understand the client's project, present Zefir's value proposition, and book a follow-up meeting with an Account Executive. - Keep rigorous track of your pipeline and move leads through the Sales funnel. - Work closely with Account Executives to maximize conversion and contribute directly to Zefir's growth. Career path We are transparent on this. A BDR role can open the door to an Account Executive role internally, but there is no automatic progression and no guaranteed timeline. Any move depends on three things: performance, behavioral fit, and team needs. What we can commit to: our Consumer Account Executives, the role a BDR grows into, and our Sales Managers are filled exclusively through internal mobility. We never open these roles externally. Top performers are rewarded, with uncapped variable pay and real visibility. ## Who we are looking for - 0 to 2 years of experience. This role is designed for a junior profile who wants to learn sales on the phone, fast and in the fiel d. - Master's level graduate from a business school, an engineering school or a university, or a first experience as a BDR, SDR or sales rep in a structured environment. - Excellent written and verbal communication. Fluency in French is required. Fluent English is a plus, not a must-have. - Rigorous and well organized, able to sustain a high volume of client interactions over time. - Energized by performance and intensity, with a client and results orientation. - Resilient, and able to take feedback to improve quickly. One honest note: this role is intense and repetitive by design. Around a hundred calls a day, every day, with rejection along the way. That is what makes you improve fast at sales, and it is not for everyone. ## Compensation and working setup - €47K package: €35K base plus €12K of uncapped variable, on top of the BSPCE granted to everyone. - Three days on-site, two days of remote work per week, at our Le Peletier office in the 9th arrondissement. Being in the room matters on this role, you learn to sell by hearing others sell. Hiring process - Screening: a first 15-minute conversation with a member of the Talent team. - Use case: two written questions (15 minutes of work) to send back within 4 days. - Role interview, at our offices: 60 minutes on the role with the Sales Manager. - Culture interview: 45 minutes with a member of the Sales team. ## Benefits The following is for permanent employees only. For other contracts (interns, apprentices, fixed-term..), please, check with your recruiter. - Competitive salary: You can run your own simulation with our [salary calculator](https://www.zefir.fr/zefir-salary-calculator). - BSPCE (Stock Options): Available for everyone, with monthly vesting after year one, over a 4-year period. - Healthcare plan: Full coverage with Alan for team members, their partners, and children. - Office in Le Peletier, Paris (9th arrondissement): With flexible remote work options. - Swile meal card: €11 per worked day. - Swile mobility card: €45/month to support sustainable transportation (metro, carpooling, biking…). - Team events: Monthly Mixers to connect and share good times, and quarterly All Hands to celebrate wins across the company. Our Operating Principles 🏔️ Steep Mountains Are Steep: Setting ambitious goals and working hard to achieve them. 🌊 Ride Reality: Actively seeking challenges and thriving by adapting flexibly to changes. 🏀 Play for the Front of the Jersey: Prioritizing team success over individual recognition. Application & Process We welcome applications from anyone, regardless of background, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, or experience. Our team values authenticity and diverse perspectives. For all roles, our interview process emphasizes hands-on exercises, case studies, or discussions about specific examples of your previous work. We ensure objectives and expectations are clearly communicated at every step. ## About Zefir ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Zefir is building an AI-powered collective sales platform that accelerates home sales in Europe by connecting agents, buyers, and sellers through a cooperative model. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series B; total funding $71.8M per LinkedIn, $56.91M per CB Insights) - **Headquarters**: Paris, Île-de-France, France (with a secondary office in Saint-Mandé and a presence in the United Kingdom) - **Founded**: 2021 (LinkedIn) or 2020 (CB Insights); conflicting reports - **Founders**: Rémy Fabre (Co-founder & CEO) and Louis Lambert (Co-founder) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Real estate technology (proptech) / Internet marketplace platforms - **Target customers**: B2B (real estate agents, independents, national networks) and B2C (home sellers and buyers) - **Mission or purpose**: “Accelerate life changes” by making home sales faster, more certain, and fairer through collective intelligence and AI. ## Products & Services - **Collective Sales Platform**: A SaaS marketplace that connects multiple agents, divides sales roles, ensures fair commission splits, and centralizes buyer networks to sell properties faster. - **AI Autopilot for Home Sales**: AI systems that match sellers and buyers more effectively, claiming to double transaction speed compared to traditional methods. - **Online Property Valuation**: Free, instant home valuation tool (150k+ estimates sent since inception). - **Salary Calculator**: Public tool on their website allowing candidates to estimate compensation for open roles. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed - **Key Metrics**: - Total funding: $71.8M (LinkedIn) / $56.91M (CB Insights) – conflicting reports - Transactions facilitated: €650M+ since January 2023 - Life changes enabled: 3,400+ since founding - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Sequoia Capital (lead Series A), FinTech Collective (lead Series B), Heartcore Capital, FJ Labs, Zigg Capital, Stride.VC, and 15+ other investors. - **Growth Signals**: - Headcount grew 63.2% YoY (from ~50 to 83 employees) - Active job postings: 4 (as of July 2025) - International expansion: opened UK office (1 employee) - LinkedIn followers: 7,913 (+38.3% yearly) ## Competitive Advantages - **Collective model**: Breaks the traditional “every man for himself” agent competition by rewarding cooperation and role specialization. - **AI-driven matchmaking**: Proprietary AI that claims to double transaction speed over conventional methods. - **Transparent compensation**: Public salary calculator and fair commission distribution system. - **Strong investor backing**: Backed by top-tier VCs (Sequoia, FinTech Collective) providing credibility and resources. ## Strategic Focus - **Current priorities**: Scaling the collective sales platform across Europe, deepening AI capabilities for home sale automation, and expanding the agent network. - **Direction for growth**: Internationalization (UK presence), increasing transaction volume, and recruiting top talent in engineering, sales, and operations. ## Why Work Here - **Culture highlights**: Values include “Steep Mountains Are Steep” (ambitious goals), “Ride Reality” (embrace challenges), and “Play for the Front of the Jersey” (team over individual).
