Sales Development Representative, Enterprise - Italian speaking

Sales Development Representative, Enterprise - Italian speaking Remote - EMEA About the role We’re building a more strategic SDR motion across Shopify’s EMEA Enterprise segment. This role is not about creating more generic activity. You’ll work a focused set of complex accounts and turn real signals into coordinated account plays. That means researching the business, developing a clear “why now,” mapping the buying group, and creating personalised outreach across email, phone, LinkedIn, events, gifting, and partner motions. You’ll work closely with Account Executives & Marketing to create qualified pipeline while protecting the prospect experience and avoiding overlapping outreach. Key responsibilities Build account-level hypotheses using business, technology, engagement, and relationship signals. Map and validate multiple stakeholders across ecommerce, digital, payments, finance, retail operations, IT, and executive leadership. Create thoughtful, highly personalised multichannel outreach. Activate plays & campaigns across priority prospects, engaged accounts, and relevant closed-lost opportunities. Run early qualification to understand fit, priorities, stakeholders, timing, and the decision process. Deliver clear, actionable handoffs that prepare the AE to advance the opportunity. Coordinate closely with account teams before outreach to prevent duplication or account fatigue. Test new approaches- including events, gifting, partner content, and account-specific assets- and share what the market is telling us. Maintain accurate CRM data and measure success through qualified pipeline, opportunity progression, reactivation, and conversion quality. What makes this role different Enterprise accounts require more depth, patience, and judgment than a traditional volume-based SDR motion. You’ll work fewer accounts more intentionally, navigate larger buying groups, and collaborate closely with the broader account team. Qualifications Proficiency in English is required for all roles; additionally, a native or bilingual level of proficiency in Italian and either Spanish or French is required. A relationship builder who is motivated by creating and advancing real opportunities. Strong business curiosity and the ability to quickly understand a prospect’s situation. Excellent written communication and confidence engaging prospects by phone. Strong fluency with AI tooling. Sound judgment around account prioritisation, personalisation, and stakeholder strategy. Ruthless time management and the ability to operate through ambiguity. A collaborative approach to working with AEs and cross-functional partners. Comfort using data and performance signals to improve your approach. Strong CRM discipline and ownership of your work. Shopify product knowledge or the ability to build it quickly across our platform, Shop Pay, POS, and B2B capabilities. About Shopify Opportunity is not evenly distributed.
