Do you want to be part of building sales in a technology company on a strong growth journey? Mercene Labs is looking for a driven Sales Development Representative (SDR) who wants to develop new business opportunities, prospect new markets, and qualify leads for the company's technical sales team – while supporting marketing with smart content and materials.

About Mercene Labs Mercene Labs is a Swedish technology company that develops and sells high-performance primers that make industrial surface treatment more efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective. The company's patented solutions combine innovations in surface treatment with ease of use, providing manufacturers with new opportunities to improve both quality and manufacturing processes. The products are currently used by furniture, kitchen, and panel manufacturers across Europe – and are an important part of the next generation of surface treatment.

With production and warehousing in Germany, development in Stockholm, and customers throughout Europe, Mercene Labs is in an expansion phase. The company consists of a small, entrepreneurial team of five people who work closely together and always focus on customer needs.

About the role As a Sales Development Representative, you will play a central role in Mercene Labs' international growth. The role is broad and varied, and suits you who want a holistic view of sales – from the first customer contact to closing and targeted marketing campaigns.

Your main focus will be to:

• Prospect new customers, map and build lists of potential leads in new markets.

• Build structure and lead the work in our CRM for leads and sales/marketing activities.
• Support marketing by creating customer cases, presentations, and content that strengthens the brand.
• Quickly switch between different tasks that arise in a small, fast-paced organization.

This is a role for you who enjoy opening doors, creating new relationships, and driving sales forward – while getting a unique opportunity to combine direct customer engagement with marketing that strengthens Mercene Labs' brand and attracts customers to them.

• You thrive in a changing environment and can quickly switch between different tasks.
• You have experience working in CRM systems and a structured approach to work.
• You are curious about technology, can understand customer needs, and build trust in conversations.

• You preferably have experience in digital marketing or lead generation as a complement.

• You speak and write fluently in business English and preferably additional languages beyond Swedish.

Why Mercene?

• You will be part of an entrepreneurial team where your contribution is immediately visible.
• You will drive sales from first contact to qualified lead (prospecting, lead generation) while building up marketing.
• You will develop internationally as the company grows in Europe and new markets.
• Here you are offered fixed salary + performance-based bonus, based on both your individual performance and the company's shared goals.
