Sales Development Representative - Mining
Be the tip of the spear for our mining vertical. Research mining companies, labs and consultants, reach out to technical contacts, qualify interest, and book meetings for the sales team. Part-time, remote in Germany. We're building the operating system for materials analysis Right now, geologists spend far too much time battling outdated tools just to get minerals data. That slows down every step. We're fixing it! In just 18 months, Momentum Transfer has gone from spinout to seed-funded startup to the go-to platform for synchrotron-quality powder X-ray diffraction as a service. More than 2,300 users already rely on us to provide state of the art mineralogy data. Now we're expanding our mining services — where understanding mineralogy isn't academic, it's the difference between a profitable operation and a write-off. This is where you come in: you'll open the conversations that turn that capability into customers. Tasks The Role You'll research mining companies, projects, labs and consultants, find the people who feel mineralogy problems most acutely — geologists, metallurgists, process engineers and lab managers — and reach out by phone and email. You'll qualify needs and timing, book qualified meetings for the senior sales team, and keep the CRM clean so the whole team can see what's happening. You'll also feed what you learn in the market back into our outreach, helping sharpen the messaging as we build this vertical. Remote role with flexible hours, around 50% availability.
Requirements
The Mindset This role is the tip of the spear. You'll be the first person a mining company hears from, so you need to be comfortable picking up the phone, writing a sharp email and asking good questions about a technical market you're still learning. Mining moves on credibility and persistence — people won't always reply the first time, and the best opportunities come from staying in touch and being genuinely useful. You don't need to be the expert who closes the deal; you need to find the right people, spark real interest, and hand the senior sales team meetings worth having.
