Hi!

Do you have what it takes to launch your sales career as a Junior Business Developer at Shakers?

About Shakers

Shakers is building the home of AI builders. We connect top independent talent with leading companies, and we're creating a high-performance team that uses AI to work smarter, move faster, and build better. Our mission is to reshape how work happens through ambition, ownership, and technology.

The momentum you'd be joining:

- 300% growth, year after year — sustained, not a one-off.

- Expanding across Europe from Madrid — we're opening up Italy, Portugal, the UK and France, all driven from our Madrid HQ.

- A culture people rave about — recognized in the Top 100 Culture Awards.

- Backed to scale — €14M Series A led by Partech and K Fund in April 2025.

1. The Business Development team

Our purpose is to open the door to Shakers: prospecting the right decision-makers, understanding their pains, and booking qualified meetings that fuel our pipeline for our Account Executives to close.

As a Junior Business Developer you're the first point of contact: you prospect, qualify, spark interest and book the meetings that get deals started. It's the best place to launch your sales career and grow fast.

We move fast, we own our numbers, and we're here to win.

️TOP PERFORMERS ️

The best salespeople want to earn big, and at Shakers they do. Comp is uncapped and tied to what you bring in.

- A strong year can reach around €70K in total comp (fixed + uncapped variable).

- No cap, no ceiling: the better you sell, the more you make.

If you back yourself to be one of the best, this is your place.

2. What You'll Achieve:

- Build pipeline from scratch — you prospect decision-makers on LinkedIn, email and phone, and turn cold companies into real opportunities.

- Qualify and spark interest — you understand each company's pains and present the value proposition so well that they want to know more.

- Book meetings that convert — you schedule qualified meetings for our Account Executives.

- Run on data — you report your activity weekly and draw insights to sharpen your outreach.

- Grow fast — you build the foundations to step up into an Account Executive role.

3. Is it what you are looking for?

4. A note on AI

AI is non-negotiable at Shakers. It's part of how we sell, research and win every day, not a buzzword. Every Shaker has access to Claude, plus the context and training to get real value from it, and we track how we use it with specific KPIs.

Here you'll use AI to prospect smarter, research accounts faster and cut the busywork, so you spend more time connecting with the right people. We're looking for people who already use AI and want to go deeper: curious, proactive, and willing to invest time getting better at it. Not a novelty, a real collaborator.
