About Us

We have made it our mission to replace traditional agency models and enable modern e-commerce brands to remain efficient and agile. What keeps us together is more than just a shared job: it is a shared mindset—thinking proactively, acting loyally, and constantly improving. Become part of an ambitious team that grows together, learns from one another, and simply does not know what standing still means.

Your Mission

You are the primary face of our company on the phone and in direct exchanges. As an ambitious Sales Development Representative (Opener/Setter), you conduct strategic initial conversations with decision-makers of D2C shops and understand that sales is never about simply rushing through a script. Thanks to your outstanding communication intelligence, confident peer-level presence, and strong consultant personality, you know how to uncover true bottlenecks and spark genuine excitement for a partnership. (Note for career changers: You do not need years of sales experience or prior e-commerce background. What matters most to us is your unstoppable drive, excellent articulation, engaging personality, and the absolute will to kick-start your career in B2B sales).

Your Tasks & Responsibilities

• First-Contact & Dialogue: Conduct sophisticated initial conversations with warm, marketing-generated leads, guiding prospects smoothly toward a sound decision.
• Discovery over Pitch: Focus on business models, key figures, and real bottlenecks of your conversation partners before presenting any solutions.
• Qualification with Backbone: Consistently decline unqualified appointments—here, quality applies strictly over quantity.
• Pipeline Ownership: Maintain a clean CRM and execute diligent follow-ups so that no lead falls through the cracks.
• Industry Presence: Occasional participation in trade fairs, congresses, and live events for direct access to decision-makers and top industry speakers.
• Career Growth: Clear upward trajectories moving toward closing roles or into strategic/leadership positions based on your performance.

What You Bring (Profile)

• Personality & Demeanor: A confident, proactive, intelligent, and highly coachable nature with a strong consultant mentality and executive-type presence.
• Communication Skills: Fluent, flawless, and polished German communication (both verbal and written) with high conversational intelligence.
• Ambition & Drive: Strong self-motivation, absolute ownership, and the internal standard to drive things forward without needing someone else to push you.
• Mindset: High discipline, resilience, and the ability to handle pressure and objections constructively.
• Background: You either bring initial sales experience—or you convince us as an ambitious career changer with the perfect blend of personality, potential, and grit. (E-commerce experience is not required).

Our Benefits & Culture

• Compensation: Above-average base salary (approx. €3,500 – €4,000 gross/month for juniors/career changers) with future commission opportunities and a clear performance culture.
• Strong Support: Marketing provides you with daily pre-qualified inbound leads and exclusive benchmarks as a strong conversation foundation.
• Real Development: Fast promotion paths in a dynamically growing team without micromanagement.
• Direct Impact: Exchange ideas on equal footing with managing directors of D2C shops up to €50M in revenue and see your visible influence on their scaling.
• Work Environment: Modern Munich office with a hybrid 4+1 arrangement (4 days office, 1 day home office), Wellpass corporate fitness, Deutschlandticket, annual team vacation, and regular events.
