About the Role
This is a high-impact, top-of-funnel sales role at a fast-growing AI SaaS startup, where you will own the entire German-speaking pipeline from first contact through to qualified demo handoff for Account Executives.

1 or more years of sales experience, ideally in outbound, telesales, or B2B SaaS environments.
Native-level German with a confident phone presence and professional written communication skills.
Fluent English for internal collaboration (company language).
Demonstrated ability to qualify leads and manage top-of-funnel through to demo handoff.
Experience building, testing, and iterating on outreach sequences with a metrics-driven mindset.
Competitive, commission-motivated personality with a clear drive to grow into a closing role.
Comfort working in a fast-moving, experiment-friendly startup environment.
Prior exposure to AI or SaaS products, particularly in the SMB segment, is a plus.
