Saporo is a Swiss cybersecurity company that helps organizations proactively strengthen their identity infrastructure and reduce attack paths before attackers can exploit them. Our graph-based analysis platform enables organizations to understand complex identity environments, prioritize actions, and continuously improve their security posture — without adding operational overhead. We’re growing fast across Europe and North America, and we’re looking for motivated BDR Interns to join our Sales team. This is a unique opportunity to learn the fundamentals of modern B2B sales in a fast-scaling cybersecurity startup.

What you will do

  • Conduct research to identify target accounts and key stakeholders in cybersecurity, IT, and identity security.

  • Collaborate with Marketing to share field insights and help refine campaigns.

  • Support events, webinars, and campaigns as needed to generate leads.

What you bring

  • Bachelor’s degree (in progress or completed) or above — preferably in Business, Marketing, Communications, or a related field.

  • Fluent in French, English, or German, depending on your assigned region (one language mandatory; multilingual is a strong plus).

  • Curious, proactive, and eager to learn about B2B SaaS and cybersecurity.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

  • Comfortable reaching out to prospects, building relationships, and handling objections.

  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.

  • Excited to work in a fast-paced, international, startup environment.

  • Previous experience in sales, marketing, or customer-facing roles is a plus but not required

  • Direct exposure to modern B2B sales strategies, tools, and methods.
