Holidu is one of the world’s fastest-growing vacation rental technology companies. Our mission is to make booking and hosting holiday homes free of doubt and full of joy, by helping hosts generate more bookings with less work and helping guests find a holiday home they truly enjoy. Our team of 700 colleagues from 60+ nations shares a passion for tech, an ambition for constant improvement, and a relentless drive to bring the best experience to more than 40k vacation rental hosts and 4 million annual guests.

Your future team

You’ll be part of the Pre-sales Italy team, which is at the forefront of Holidu’s growth strategy. The team’s mission is to connect with vacation rental hosts across Italy, engage in warm, authentic conversations, and schedule high-quality meetings for our Sales Managers and, for selected hosts, to take that relationship further and support the sales process through to closing.

Your direct support and coaching will come from the Team Lead SDR Italy, and you will collaborate closely with peers and offices in Italy as well as international SDRs across the company. You'll use CRMs, coaching tools, and our tailored pitch scripts to guide your calls, always focused on sparking interest, building trust, and booking that first demo.

Your role in this journey

Your goal is to create meaningful first touchpoints with vacation rental property owners and schedule meetings with our regional Sales Managers in Italy.

You will:

• Reach out to hosts via phone to pre-qualify their needs and evaluate their initial level of interest in our offer.
• Create trust and interest around Holidu's offering.
• Use provided scripts to tailor your message based on the customer type.
• Reach monthly targets of scheduled meetings.
• Maintain accurate and structured notes in our CRM to ensure a smooth handoff.
• Collaborate closely with your Team Lead, receive daily feedback, and participate in team meetings like check-ins and best-practice shares.

Our salary package reflects your background and expertise. For a mid-level SDR based in Milan, the typical starting range we offer is an OTE (on-target earnings) of 37.800€ - 42.500€ gross per year, the final offer depends on your skills and qualifications. Of this, 80% is fixed and 20% variable. 

Your variable pay rewards results and comes with real upside and there is significant headroom to earn well beyond target.

We hire this role at different levels. If your experience points to a more junior or senior level, the title, scope and package are adjusted accordingly. If you meet most of what we describe here, please apply and we will find the right fit together.

Your backpack is filled with

• Fluent Italian (native or near-native) and professional English.
• Excellent communication skills.
• Motivation to achieve goals and overcome objections.
• A structured work ethic and strong self-organization.
• Curiosity and openness.
• Prior experience in cold calling, sales, hospitality, or customer service.
