Responsibilities
- Own the full sales cycle: run discovery, demos, pilots/POCs, proposals, and negotiations with mid-market and enterprise customers.
- Drive outbound and inbound: identify and prioritize target accounts, run email/LinkedIn/call outreach, and respond quickly to inbound interest.
- Build and qualify pipeline: create, manage, and progress opportunities in our CRM, ensuring we have a healthy, well-documented pipeline.
- Craft tailored value propositions : understand each customer's context and pain points and translate elluminate into clear ROI stories.
- Support GTM experiments: collaborate with founders and marketing on campaigns, events, and new channels - then bring back learnings from the field.
- Improve our playbooks: refine talk tracks, sequences, collateral, and pricing/packaging feedback as we learn what works.
- Be the customer's voice: systematically capture product feedback and use cases and share them with product and engineering.
- Help make us better every month: suggest process improvements, tool tweaks, and new ideas that increase win rates and shorten cycles.
Requirements
- 2-4 years of experience in B2B SaaS sales , ideally in a startup/scaleup environment.
- Proven E2E sales experience: you've owned the full funnel for deals (from first meeting to close), not just top-of-funnel prospecting.
- Comfort with outbound: you can design and run your own outreach, and you're happy to be measured on pipeline and closed revenue.
- Strong communication skills: you can explain a technical product simply, ask sharp questions in discovery, and write clear follow-ups and proposals.
- Structured and data-aware: you keep CRM and forecasts up to date and like to understand your performance through numbers.
- Curiosity for AI and software: interest in learning how AI and infrastructure products work and how customers use them.
- Hands-on, "founder mode" mindset: you're motivated by responsibility, ambiguity, and the opportunity to shape how we sell.
- On-site collaboration: ≥3 days/week in Bremen or Berlin, including occasional travel to our Bremen HQ.
- Language & work authorization: minimum B2 German and English, plus valid EU work authorization.
- Experience selling to mid-market/enterprise buyers, ideally in data, AI, or infrastructure-related products
- Familiarity with longer, multi-stakeholder sales cycles (IT/security, legal, procurement).
- Experience with tools like HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, or similar CRMs and email/sequence tools.
- Exposure to simple marketing activities: webinars, events, content, or LinkedIn-led demand generation.
- Prior experience in an early-stage startup where processes and playbooks were still being built.
- Why this role is exciting
- Step up into a higher-impact GTM role. You're not "just" an SDR or AE - you'll own end-to-end deals and help shape how we sell to some of the most exciting AI adopters in Europe.
- Clear path to senior AE or GTM leadership. As we grow, this role can evolve into Senior AE, Sales Lead, or broader GTM ownership, depending on your strengths and ambition.
- Competitive package with upside . Attractive base salary, performance-based bonus with OTE in the 70.000-100.000 € range, plus a meaningful ESOP package.
- Sell a product customers actually want. You'll work with a product that already has strong pull from early users and sits in a rapidly growing, greenfield AI infrastructure category.
