About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the Top-of-Funnel: Your core mission is to hunt, identify, and qualify high-potential leads (Outbound) and to handle incoming leads from Marketing (Inbound).
Become a Prospecting Expert: You will proactively engage target decision-makers using a multi-channel approach, including strategic emails, phone calls, video messaging, and LinkedIn.
Master the 'First Conversation': You will be the first human touchpoint for our future customers. You'll conduct high-level qualification calls to understand their sustainability challenges, timelines, and decision-making processes.
Book Qualified Meetings: Your primary goal is to book high-quality discovery calls and product demos for our Account Executives. Your success is measured by the number of qualified opportunities you generate.
Partner with your Account Executive: You will work in a tight-knit 'pod' with one or two Account Executives, strategizing on how to penetrate key target accounts and build a robust sales pipeline.
Be the 'Ears on the Ground': You'll gather crucial market feedback and customer insights, sharing them with the Sales, Marketing, and Product teams to refine our messaging and strategy.
Maintain Flawless Data Hygiene: You will meticulously track all activities and notes in our CRM, ensuring a smooth and informed handover of qualified leads to the sales team.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Professional fluency in German and English (C1+) are essential for communicating with decision-makers across Europe.
Resilience and Drive: You are highly motivated and see rejection as a learning opportunity, not a roadblock. You have a proactive 'hunter' attitude and are not afraid to pick up the phone.
High Curiosity and Ability to Learn: You have a 'Day 1' mentality. You genuinely love to learn, absorb feedback, and are constantly looking for ways to improve your skills.
First Commercial Experience: You've had a taste of a client-facing or commercial role. This could be an internship or job in sales, business development, customer success, high-end retail, or even competitive hospitality.
Intellectual Horsepower: You're able to quickly grasp complex topics (like our SaaS platform and EU packaging regulations) and explain them in simple, clear terms.
A Genuine Passion for Our Mission: You are truly interested in sustainability, climate tech, and helping global brands make a real-world impact.
CRM Proficiency: You have hands-on, daily experience working with a modern CRM (like HubSpot or Salesforce) to manage leads, track activities, and build pipelines.
B2B SaaS Experience: You have first-hand experience and a clear understanding of a B2B SaaS sales process.
