- Manage warm leads, execute timely follow-ups, and maintain a clean, accurate CRM pipeline.

- Ensure smooth handovers to Customer Success after deal closure.

- Feed structured customer insights back to Marketing and contribute to reliable sales forecasting.

- Collaborate closely with teammates to continuously refine and improve the sales motion in a rapidly scaling environment.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Must-haves:

- At least 1 year of B2B SaaS sales experience with a proven track record of closing deals end-to-end along a defined funnel.

- Native-level German proficiency and a confident, polished phone and demo presence.

- Experience handling a high volume of inbound demos daily.

- Skilled in structured CRM pipeline management, lead follow-up, and meeting quota targets.

- Strong product and technical understanding — able to deliver compelling SaaS demonstrations.

- Experience collaborating with Marketing and Customer Success teams on feedback loops and forecasting.

- Willingness to work on-site in Vienna (hybrid arrangements considered).

Nice-to-haves:

- Startup or scale-up SaaS sales background.

- Hands-on experience with CRM platforms such as Salesforce or HubSpot and data-driven forecasting.

- Familiarity with AI, telephony, or contact center technologies in a SaaS context.

Visa sponsorship: Not available.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

- OTE: €70,000–€120,000 (competitive base salary plus uncapped commission).

- Top-of-the-line equipment — your choice.

- Work at the forefront of AI and voice automation technology in a high-growth European startup.
