You are the type of person who thrives when opening up high-growth markets, strategizing, negotiating and closing complex deals — all with the backing of a superior technology product and professional services team.

As one of the earliest employees, you will play a key role for our company. You will join an international team of talented, experienced engineers, designers and ESG professionals headquartered in Berlin.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Development of the sales plan, preparing forecasts and KPI reporting for use in organizational planning, financial forecasting, budget setting and strategic planning
• Growing, mentoring, and scaling a high performing sales team to support our revenue targets
• Establish and foster long lasting relationships with key customers

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• You combine sales and growth expertise: You have 5+ years of combined experience in inbound and outbound sales. You have strong marketing skills and an extensive knowledge of pricing strategies. You have experience in growing key accounts.
• You are results-driven: You have experience managing SDR functions and a track record of exceeding your quota. You possess extensive knowledge of sales principles and practices, and an ability to coach others on them. You have strong analytical and quantitative skills; ability to use hard data and metrics to back up assumptions, recommendations, and drive actions.
• You lead: You can inspire people to go beyond even their own expectations, enabling them to achieve the extraordinary. You have excellent communication skills and are experienced in working in a remote-first environment with a distributed team.
• You are entrepreneurial: You are results-driven and thrive in a startup environment. You have a strong understanding of core business priorities and KPIs to achieve. You think creatively, are solution-oriented, adaptable to change, and have a drive for continuous innovation.
• You are a team player: You work collaboratively with your colleagues and consider what is best for the team. You have exceptional communication skills and can work effectively in a remote-first environment with a distributed team. You truly value diversity and inclusion.
• You are a fast learner: As the ESG space is relatively new, expert-level ESG knowledge is not a requirement, and we provide on the job training. What is important is your attitude and ability to learn.
• You have a ”can do, will do” mindset: You take action and get things done. You go the extra mile for your customers and team mates. You do what you say, which builds trust along the way.
