Sales Development Representative - US Market (Hamburg, Germany)

Job Description

✨A little about us

xChange is the world’s first online B2B marketplace to trade and lease shipping containers. We are a Series B startup with the ambition to become the world’s first and favorite place to buy containers, empowering local traders to seamlessly source and resell boxes while serving as the go-to sales channel for original equipment owners and wholesalers.

Our team of 50+ like-minded xChangees from a great variety of nationalities has made this possible! We have scaled far beyond the small start-up we once were and continue to disrupt the industry together.

The Role

Your next opportunity—what you'll be doing and how you'll make an impact.

As a Sales Development Representative, you will play a key role in driving high-volume B2B sales of shipping containers. This is a highly transactional sales role where you’ll be responsible for managing the entire sales cycle—from sourcing and qualifying leads to closing deals. You will actively identify customer demand, respond quickly to inquiries, and match clients with available container inventory.

Your day-to-day will involve high outbound activity, conducting calls and emails, negotiating pricing, and building strong relationships with our B2B clients. Since you’ll be targeting the U.S. market, fluency in English is essential, and prior experience working with American clients or markets is highly preferred.

Location

Where you'll be based and how we collaborate globally.

We are located in the heart of Hamburg and would like you to be based here for this position. However, if you are not in Hamburg already, xChange offers a relocation package and has partnered with Localyze to assist with work permit-related topics to make it possible.
