Bilingual Sales Development Representative

EPAM’s sales development (SDR) team is constantly growing and welcomes you to join us! This role is the first – but most important step – in your Enterprise Tech Sales career, where you enter the world of AI, GenAI, Cloud, Metaverse, Machine Learning and many more, so get ready for a unique ride!

We are looking for Sales Developers (SDR/BDR/Inside Sales) who are forward, outgoing, disciplined, and result-driven. In this role, you will develop your communication and lead generation skills while learning how to leverage the best sales tools to connect with new clients. Your mission is to book quality meetings at designated target companies and provide prospects with compelling reasons to engage with us. Don’t worry—we’ll provide all the training you need, from hard to soft skills, to set you up for success. We believe in continuous collaboration, where everyone’s growth is supported, but a proactive mindset and ownership of your success will make all the difference.

You will collaborate closely with fellow SDRs/Team Leads, Sales/Account Managers/Directors, and Marketing teams, gaining valuable insights into prospecting, sales processes, service offerings, and our success stories. If you are eager to grow beyond your daily responsibilities, you’ll also have access to EPAM’s global network of talented technologists, architects, strategists, consultants, and analysts. We consider this role a foundational learning stage for Business Development at EPAM, with a clear career path leading to opportunities in direct/field sales, partner sales, or even leadership roles within our global SDR unit.
