Sales Development Representative (SDR / BDR) French Market

Job Title

Driven and curious SDR to fuel our growth in the French market.

Job Description

Greenly was founded in 2019 by Alexis, Matthieu and Arnaud with one mission: make carbon management as essential as financial management.

Today, we are a global leader in carbon accounting, proudly B-Corp certified and part of the French Tech 120. Our climate suite combines smart data collection with intuitive automation, helping companies measure, reduce, and report their emissions with ease supported at every step by our in-house climate experts.

More than 3,500 companies in 20+ countries use Greenly to manage their climate strategy: from carbon assessments and life-cycle analyses to SBTi trajectories and compliance with CSRD and CBAM.

We are now a team of 200+ people from 40+ nationalities, based in Paris, London, Barcelona, and New York.

To date, we've tracked over 200 million tons of CO? through our platform. Our next milestone: 10,000 clients and one billion tons of CO2 under management.

About the team

You'll join Greenly's Sales Team, a fast-moving group of 60+ SDRs, Account Executives and Account Managers across France, UK, US, and Europe all working toward one mission: helping thousands of companies understand, reduce, and follow their climate impact.

We work closely with Account Executives, Partnerships, Delivery Operations, and Marketing to build a seamless and predictable pipeline. Every day, SDRs are at the heart of Greenly's growth: they are the first touchpoint for prospects, and the ambassadors of our climate mission.

This is a team where you learn fast, move fast, and grow fast!
