• Conduct initial conversations with decision-makers and key stakeholders.
• Build and nurture early-stage relationships to develop a strong sales pipeline.

• Maintain accurate CRM tracking and pipeline reporting.

• Highly motivated by targets, performance, and achieving measurable results.
• Excellent communication and persuasion skills.
• Comfortable engaging with decision-makers and handling commercial conversations.

• Familiarity with CRM systems and sales tools.
• Previous exposure to tech, SaaS, startups, or scale-ups is a plus.
• Strong organizational and time management skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a commercial team.
• And of course, a great sense of humor!

What We Offer

• Fixed base salary complemented by a performance-driven commission model.
• Indefinite contract.
• Hybrid working model (remote and office-based) with flexible start hours.
• Healthcare insurance after 6 months.
• Flexible compensation plan through Cobee.
• English language classes provided by the company.
