Love the thrill of opening doors that weren’t open yesterday?

We’re looking for a driven, energetic Business Development Executive who knows how to turn a cold prospect into a real conversation—and a real conversation into a qualified sales opportunity.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be at the front line of new business—identifying the right companies, finding the right people, and starting conversations that matter.

  • Hunting for new opportunities and identifying high-potential prospects across the German market.
  • Creating conversations through a multi-channel approach—telephone, email, and LinkedIn.
  • Engaging prospects and building relationships from the very first interaction.
  • Booking high-quality meetings and creating Sales Qualified Leads for the sales team.
  • Understanding prospect needs and qualifying opportunities against agreed criteria.
  • Keeping the momentum high, managing a consistent volume of outbound activity while maintaining quality.
  • Owning your CRM activity in Salesforce, ensuring account data, activity, qualification details, and market feedback are accurate and up to date.
  • Working closely with Enterprise Sales and Inside Sales to turn qualified opportunities into pipeline.
  • Tracking your performance, understanding what works, and continually improving your approach.
  • Helping evolve the sales process, sharing market insights and ideas that can make the team even more effective.
  • Hitting—and ideally smashing—your monthly qualified-lead targets.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who gets genuinely excited by new business.

  • 2+ years of B2B sales experience, with experience selling SaaS, IT technology, or other B2B technology solutions.
  • A genuine passion for prospecting and new business development.
  • Experience with cold calling, email outreach, LinkedIn, and account-based prospecting.
  • A high-energy, resilient, and positive attitude.
  • The ability to handle a high volume of outbound activity without losing focus or enthusiasm.
  • A competitive mindset—you want to win, but you also know how to be a great teammate.
  • Strong commercial instincts and the ability to identify what makes a prospect worth pursuing.
  • Confidence using Salesforce or other CRM and sales-engagement platforms.
  • Excellent organizational skills and the ability to prioritize when things get busy.
  • The creativity to try something different.

If you're a fluent German-speaking B2B technology salesperson who loves the hunt, thrives on targets, and wants to build something rather than simply manage what's already there, we’d love to hear from you.

Fluent German, spoken and written, is a non-negotiable requirement for this role.
