Role Description

We are not just hiring a salesperson; we are looking for someone who can connect, inspire, and close. If you love building relationships, thrive on turning opportunities into wins, and want to be at the forefront of a brand-new business in AI management, this might be your next big move.

You will help create a whole new market, selling something that shapes how organizations handle AI: practical, powerful, and ahead of the curve.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop smart, creative sales strategies that actually work.
• Identify new opportunities and open doors with confidence and charm.
• Deliver presentations that do not just inform, they inspire.

• A proven track record in sales (SaaS or digital security experience is a plus).
• Communication skills that make people feel heard and excited to work with you.
• Experience guiding and mentoring others without micromanaging.
• Relationship-building skills strong enough to win both trust and contracts.
• Ease with CRM systems and analytics tools (and maybe even some Excel magic).
• A Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, or a related field.
• Fluent in English and Dutch; French or German is a welcome bonus.

What Makes You Stand Out

• Previous experience selling SaaS or digital security solutions.
• The ability to combine creativity with analytical thinking and commercial awareness.
• A network in relevant B2B or compliance-focused markets.
• You must already be eligible to work in the Netherlands (no sponsorship available).

Compensation & Benefits

We offer a salary between €2,400 and €4,500 per month, depending on your profile and experience.

As an early-stage company, Anove International offers significant opportunities to grow, shape your role, and help build something groundbreaking.

Additional benefits include:

• 25 days of paid vacation per year.
• Gym subscription to support health and well-being.
• Workation opportunities and a hybrid working model.
• Learning and development through mentorship and structured growth opportunities.
