ABOUT PEEC AI

AI search is changing how brands are discovered and chosen. People now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Google’s AI answers what they used to search for, and AI assistants increasingly shape the journey from discovery to purchase. Winning customers now means winning over the AI systems that influence their decisions.

Peec AI is an AI search platform that helps marketing teams understand and improve how their brands are discovered, represented, and recommended. We show them where they stand, what’s shaping it, and where to act. Since launching in January 2025, Peec AI has passed $20M ARR and 4,000 paying customers. We’re a Series A company backed by 20VC and Singular, with 100+ people across our Berlin HQ and our New York office.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're hiring the founding SDR for our New York office. You'll build the outbound engine for North America from scratch, prospecting into SEO, marketing, and growth leaders at mid-market and SMB companies across the US and Canada, and generating the pipeline our New York AEs close. You'll report to our Head of Sales, Americas.

Founding means what it says here. There is no US playbook yet. You'll decide which accounts are worth calling, what the opening line is, which sequences earn replies, and what the motion looks like by the time the second and third SDRs arrive. You'll do it with a Head of Sales who has already built this and Berlin's playbook to borrow from, but the US version is yours.

If you get a rush from picking up the phone, love the puzzle of finding the right person to call, and want to sell a product genuinely at the frontier of where search is heading, this is the seat.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Drive outbound prospecting across North America, identifying and engaging decision-makers in SEO, marketing, and growth functions

- Execute personalized, high-quality outreach with cold calling at the core and email and LinkedIn in support, generating qualified meetings for our New York AE team

- Build the US outbound playbook: target account definition, sequences, messaging, and the prospecting approach the next SDRs will inherit

- Use AI tooling to research prospects, personalize at scale, and sharpen your approach faster than a manual motion allows

- Work closely on targeting and positioning, and tell us honestly what is landing in the US market and what is not

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- A track record of hitting or exceeding activity and meeting targets in a previous SDR or BDR role

- A natural on the phone who genuinely enjoys cold calling and sees every dial as an opportunity, not a chore

- Driven and self-directed, with a habit of setting ambitious targets and working steadily until you hit them

- Passionate about technology and the role AI is playing in reshaping how businesses operate, ideally someone who already uses AI tools day to day

- Highly coachable, treating every conversation as a data point

- Excited to learn the full sales cycle and grow into an Account Executive role. Our New York AE seat is the next rung, and we would rather promote you into it than hire around you

- Based in New York and excited to be in the office five days a week

BONUS POINTS

- Experience with outbound tooling such as Clay, Apollo, Lemlist, or similar

- Familiarity with the SEO, content marketing, or digital analytics space

- Experience as an early or founding SDR somewhere, or building a motion in a new market

- Existing network in New York's startup, SaaS, or marketing ecosystem

- You already know what GEO and AEO stand for.

WHAT WE OFFER

- Competitive salary and meaningful equity: everyone at Peec owns a piece of the upside

- Comprehensive benefits package

- Collaborative, high-energy in-office work environment

- Opportunity to make a significant impact and define a new market category
