Role
As one of Giskard's first Business Development Representatives, you will be on the front line of our growth, generating qualified pipeline with large enterprises in regulated industries across the EMEA region.
Your primary objective is clear: book high-quality meetings with qualified leads among our ideal customer profiles: CDOs, CTOs, CISOs, Heads of AI, AI Engineering and Cybersecurity leaders at regulated enterprises deploying large-scale GenAI agent initiatives to their employees & customers.
Giskard is looking for a highly ambitious & motivated business development professional, with formal training in modern outbound techniques, who is excited to master deeply technical topics and turn them into sharp, compelling outreach in order to book qualified meetings and drive sales.
You will work closely with our Enterprise Account Executives and Product Marketing team to identify target accounts, run multi-channel outbound campaigns, and open doors with senior stakeholders for our sales team.
Why Giskard
Giskard is a European AI Security champion with a proven proprietary product, zero churn, and strong upsell, serving a critical need: deploying GenAI agents with trust.
Backed by top-tier investors (Elaia, Bessemer Venture Partners, EIC Accelerator) and AI pioneers like the CTO of Hugging Face, we focus on actually useful technology that enables robust and secure innovation, not hype.
Why this role
As Giskard moves from Seed to Series A, we are scaling from strong early wins to a repeatable enterprise sales engine across EMEA. Enterprise customers in banking, insurance, manufacturing, and other regulated industries already rely on us to secure their GenAI initiatives, and demand for trusted AI security is accelerating.
In this role, you are on the front line of that growth: you will build pipeline, book qualified meetings with senior decision-makers, and open doors that lead to flagship enterprise deals. You will learn deeply about AI security, sharpen your craft on cutting‑edge outbound techniques, and grow your career alongside a European AI Security champion backed by top‑tier investors.
Key Responsibilities
Generate pipeline and book meetings: Own top-of-funnel activities to consistently book qualified meetings with target accounts across EMEA, aligned with clear monthly and quarterly targets.
Run high-quality outbound: Design and execute multi-channel outbound sequences (email, LinkedIn, phone, events) to engage new prospects and revive dormant leads.
Cold calling & live conversations: Confidently pick up the phone, run discovery calls, and quickly qualify whether a prospect is a good fit for Giskard.
Master AI & automation: Use AI qualification tools and sales automation platforms such as n8n, LaGrowthMachine, Lemlist, or Apollo to research, personalize, and scale your outreach.
Creative customer-centric communication: Craft original, thoughtful messages that stand out in crowded inboxes, adapting tone and content to technical decision-makers.
Learn deeply technical topics: Build a strong understanding of Giskard's AI security and quality platform so you can confidently articulate the challenges of securing GenAI agents and the value we bring.
Collaborate with Sales & Product Marketing: Share insights from the field, refine ICP definitions, improve messaging, and contribute ideas for campaigns, content, and events.
Maintain data quality excellence: Keep all activities, contacts, opportunities and outreach campaigns cleanly documented to ensure reliable visibility into pipeline health and outreach performance.
