Hey, we're BRAINR.
Our mission is to build the intelligent brain for every food factory, with the only AI-powered factory management software for the food industry, bringing together machines, sensors, software, and people.
Profitable from day one, we've recently secured a record-breaking €11M Seed Round, the largest in Portugal's history, to take our mission global. And we're getting there, because today over 25% of all meat production in Portugal is already managed by BRAINR.
Along the way, we've been recognized as one of Sifted's Future 50, selected for EUROPA's 100 most promising startups, awarded Best Factory Digitization Solution at Food 4 Future in Spain, and named a Top Cloud Based MES Solution by Manufacturing Tech Insights.
What sets us apart isn't just the tech. It's the people. Our leadership team combines deep industry know-how with world-class tech expertise, giving you the chance to learn and grow faster than anywhere else.
The mission is massive. The ambition is real. And we need talent like you to bring our vision to every food factory on earth.
The challenge
We're looking for a motivated and curious Sales Development Representative (SDR) to join BRAINR and play a key role in building the top of our sales funnel.
As an SDR, you'll be the first point of contact between BRAINR and potential customers. You will help identify opportunities, understand customer challenges, and connect the right prospects with our Sales team. This role is often the first step in a long term career in B2B sales, with clear growth paths into roles such as Account Executive, Sales Lead, or Sales Manager.
You'll be working in a B2B SaaS startup, developing a next generation AI enabled MES for the food industry. We work with structured processes and proven methodologies, but we continuously test, learn, and improve based on data. You'll be expected to think critically, experiment, and contribute to our culture of continuous improvement.
This is a hands on and demanding role that will challenge your communication skills, focus, discipline, and resilience. At the same time, it's a strong learning opportunity where we'll actively support your development as a sales professional.
What You'll Be Doing
Contact potential clients based on a defined target list
Qualify inbound and outbound leads via phone, email, and other channels
Identify decision makers and understand their business needs
Clearly articulate how BRAINR can address those needs
Schedule qualified meetings for Account Executives
Ensure accurate and complete lead information in our CRM
Work closely with Sales and Marketing to execute lead generation and account based strategies
Meet or exceed defined sales development targets
Minimum Requirements
What we're looking for
Strong interest in starting a career in B2B technology sales
Commercial mindset and genuine curiosity about customer problems
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Proactive, organized, and goal oriented attitude
Ability to prioritize tasks and manage time effectively
Willingness to learn, receive feedback, and continuously improve
We value attitude, motivation, and learning capacity more than prior experience. A university degree is a plus, as it demonstrates commitment and goal orientation, but it is not a strict requirement. You'll receive structured onboarding and continuous training during your first months at BRAINR.
