Business Development Representative - German Speaking

Posted on 22 August 2026

About the role

💼 What you will do

• Open the doors on Canva's EMEA growth, finding the right companies, sparking the right conversations, and building the pipeline that fuels the next chapter. • Join the BDR team at the heart of the shift from design tool to enterprise platform. • Prospect into target accounts across EMEA and run outbound across email, phone, and LinkedIn. • Handle conversations in German as well as English. • Contribute to a team goal of generating $140M in sales-generated pipeline through smarter, more targeted prospecting. • Work from the London office, with flexibility over whether that is remote, hybrid, or in-office.

📋 Job Requirements

• Stay curious and do your homework, researching before you reach out so the quality shows in your outreach. • Stay resilient and treat a "not now" as useful information rather than a dead end. • Communicate clearly and confidently in writing and on the phone, adapting your message to different audiences. • Stay organised and manage a high volume of activity without letting things slip. • Speak to why businesses should care about Canva, helping people see something they had not noticed rather than just pitching. • Thrive in a team environment and share what you are learning so everyone improves.

🌟 Nice-to-have

• Have used Salesforce, since pipeline data accuracy sits at the centre of the role. • Bring prior outbound prospecting experience across email, phone, and LinkedIn sequences. • Know the EMEA enterprise landscape and what makes accounts there worth prioritising. • Apply even if your skills do not match the list exactly, as Canva hires on experience, skills, and passion.

🎯 Responsibilities

• Prospect into target accounts across EMEA, identifying the right people and finding creative ways to start genuine conversations. • Run outbound sequences across email, phone, and LinkedIn that are researched, personalised, and actually worth reading. • Qualify inbound leads and convert marketing-sourced interest into real sales opportunities. • Collaborate with Account Executives to develop territory strategy and prioritise the right accounts. • Keep pipeline data clean and accurate in Salesforce so the team can trust what it sees and make good decisions. • Feed insights from the frontline back to the team, covering what is resonating, what is not, and what to try next. • Contribute to the team's goal of generating $140M in sales-generated pipeline.
