## Job description

## About Tavily

We’re building the search engine for AI agents. Our API is designed from the ground up to power RAG and real-time reasoning in AI systems. By connecting LLMs to high quality, trustworthy web content, we help developers build agents that are not only intelligent, but also informed. We work with some of the most innovative teams in AI, from small startups shaping the ecosystem to the largest enterprises deploying AI at scale. Whether it’s powering sales assistants, research copilots, or internal knowledge tools, we’re the missing link between LLMs and the real world.

## The Role

- Job Title: Sales Development Representative (German or French-speaking)
- Location: London, United Kingdom
- Work Type: On-site

We’re hiring to expand on the immediate success and impact our founding SDR team has had in the US. You will be the engine behind the engine, helping convert high-volume developer inbound into qualified opportunities and building an outbound motion to the teams creating cutting edge agents and AI products. As a founding member of our EMEA team, you’ll play a key role in building Tavily’s presence across Europe from the ground up. You’ll work directly with our US-based team and have real ownership in helping shape how we grow across the region.

## What You’ll Do

- Promptly follow up with inbound and outbound prospects via email, LinkedIn, and calls to ensure no lead slips through the cracks.
- Build a deep understanding of Tavily’s ICP: AI engineers, data science teams, and product leaders building agentic systems to identify where they need grounded, real-time search in their product
- Qualify opportunities and book meetings for the Sales team, ensuring they are equiped with the correct information to win the deal.
- Provide structured feedback on signals, workflows, and outputs to help us improve Tavily based on real-life testing.

## What We’re Looking For

- Recent graduate or early-career professional with a background in sales, analytics, data science, computer science, or a related technical field preferred. You are based in London and excited about an in-person office environment (think 4 days per week).
- Professional fluency in either German or French is required.
- You're resilient, energized by building relationships, and genuinely excited to learn.
- You’re genuinely curious about AI and enjoy learning what new products and teams are building, even if you’re not technical yourself.
- Ability to balance high-volume outreach with thoughtful experimentation and feedback.
