About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Our sales team is constantly active: customer inquiries, proposals, tenders, events, acquisition campaigns, community building.
You ensure everything runs smoothly in the background — data is maintained, tasks are tracked, communication flows — and you actively contribute to campaigns and acquisition.
You work closely with Jens (Head of Sales) and provide operational support to the entire team where needed: Active acquisition — you proactively contact potential customers by phone, email, or at events — and consistently advance leads.
Account management & upselling: You maintain contact with existing customers, identify growth opportunities, and prepare the necessary materials.
CRM maintenance (HubSpot): contacts, deals, tasks, follow-ups — reliable, structured, and organized so the team always has a clear overview.
Preparing customer meetings: You produce cost estimates, short presentations, and meeting notes.
Research & lead qualification: You research potential customers and prepare the findings.
Internal coordination: You ensure offers and projects are initiated smoothly across the company.
Processes & automation: You develop and maintain workflows to automate recurring tasks.
CIVORA user community: coordinate meetings, invite participants, and prepare content.
