Jobbeschreibung

There are not many opportunities where you can be the first sales leader in a company with real traction, own the entire sales function from day one, and build the GTM engine before hyper-scale hits. This is one of them:

• AI Operating System for a massive traditional industry: an analytics and workflow hub connecting people and data, automating operations for mid-market companies across DACH
• Grown from 100K to 1M ARR in recent months, expecting 3M before end of year, with a 5M ARR pipeline
• 60 customers signed, ERP integrations proven (works with any system), rollouts queued up
• First sales leadership hire with full mandate: define how the company wins accounts, build the foundation, then scale it
• A 5K-account ICP through a verticalized GTM approach, with the ambition to build a category-defining AI platform

What is expected...

• Take the company from founder-led sales to a professional, repeatable GTM motion and grow ARR from 2-3M to 10M in 2027

What you get...

• €150-200K OTE with a 70/30 split
• Meaningful equity
• Direct collaboration with the founders on pricing, GTM and strategy
• The chance to build SDR/AE processes before hyper-scale and shape category creation in AI for a traditional industry
• A clear path into broader commercial leadership as the team expands
