Senior Business Development Representative (Polish speaking)
About this role
about ace waves
Customer service is being rebuilt from the ground up with the arrival of the latest AI tech. At Ace Waves, we're building an AI agents platform that handles real customer conversations end-to-end, across chat, email and voice, for leading consumer brands.
With boots on the ground in the UK, US and Europe, Ace Waves is a fast-growing startup with strong funding and a growing customer base across Europe.
The Mission. The GTM team is the engine behind our global expansion. Positioned at the intersection of Product, AI Automation, and Sales, we don't just market a tool we build repeatable revenue engines and define how Agentic AI transforms enterprise outreach.
The Leadership. You'll be joining a team led by serial entrepreneurs Antanas Bakšys, Ringaudas Kalinauskas, and Lukas Mikuckis. This is their second major venture together, following the successful acquisition of their previous scale-up, SearchNode, in 2022.
The Opportunity. Central and Eastern Europe is home to some of the fastest-growing consumer brands, e-commerce players and digital service companies in Europe, and customers here expect to be served in their own language.

As one of the first BDR dedicated to Poland, the Baltics and wider CEE, you'll partner directly with our Regional Manager & Senior Account Executive to build the pipeline from scratch.
You'll shape how Ace Waves enters each market: which accounts we go after, what messaging lands, and which channels work. This is a ground-floor role in a founder-led GTM culture, with real autonomy and a direct line to leadership.
