Sales Development Representative (SDR) – Talent Pool

International B2B Tech | Top 1% Talent Pool

Location: Cape Town or Johannesburg (Remote / In-office / Hybrid)
Employment: Full-time
Markets: Europe & US
Clients: Established international B2B technology companies

This is not a standard SDR role.

Project Y is building an exclusive SDR talent pool for high-performing South African sales professionals who want access to international B2B tech careers - without leaving the country.

We work with a small number of vetted US & EU tech companies that expect exceptional execution, professionalism, and ambition.
To protect that standard, we accept fewer than 1 in 100 applicants.

If you are selected, you don’t just get a job - you become part of a curated sales community that international companies trust to represent their brand.

🌍 The Opportunity

We are recruiting SDRs on behalf of international ventures and sales organizations that typically operate in the tech-industry.

You’ll operate inside an international B2B sales environment, working with:

• Large, established tech companies

• Senior decision-makers

• Proven outbound sales frameworks

• High expectations and real accountability

This role is designed for people who want to build a serious global sales career, not just “do Call-Center work”.

🚀 What You’ll Be Doing

As an SDR, you will own the top of the sales funnel and act as the first commercial touchpoint for enterprise prospects.

You will:

• Research and map enterprise accounts and decision-makers

• Run high-quality outbound campaigns (cold calls, email, LinkedIn)

• Qualify leads against strict ICP and value-fit criteria

• Book high-intent meetings for Account Executives

• Work inside a modern CRM with disciplined reporting

• Continuously refine messaging with sales & marketing teams

• Develop deep exposure to enterprise tech, SaaS, and B2B sales best practices

🧠 Who This Is For

We are intentionally selective.

This role is for you if and only if you:

• Are highly articulate, confident, and commercially sharp

• Can hold your own in conversations with international professionals

• Are disciplined, reliable, and execution-focused

• Take pride in quality over volume

• Want long-term international exposure, not quick wins

• See sales as a career, not a stop-gap

Prior SDR or B2B sales experience is a strong advantage — but talent, attitude, and coachability matter more than CVs.

🏆 Why Project Y

Project Y is not a typical recruiter.

We act as a long-term talent partner to both our clients and our SDRs:

• We only place candidates we genuinely believe are top-tier

• We protect our talent pool by being selective with clients

• We open doors to roles you would not access on your own

• We build repeat international careers - not one-off placements

Once you’re in the Project Y ecosystem, future international opportunities compound.

💼 What’s On Offer

• Competitive base salary: R20,000 – R60,000 per month (based on experience & performance dependent)

• Performance-based commission / incentives after probation

• Direct exposure to international B2B tech clients

• Structured onboarding, playbooks, and sales training

• Clear progression paths into Senior SDR, Account Executive or Customer Success

• Long-term access to the Project Y elite talent ecosystem
