Engaging with clients across a wide range of industries, you’ll confidently introduce our platform to mid‑sized and high growth businesses - helping them unlock their full growth potential.

Your Mission: Drive Growth. Build Trust. Close Deals.

• Own the full new business cycle – from identifying and approaching qualified leads to closing deals and handing over seamlessly to our Account Management team.

• Expand your reach through cold calling, email outreach, LinkedIn networking, event participation, and other prospecting channels.

• Manage a strong pipeline of qualified leads and opportunities, ensuring consistent momentum and measurable results.

• Collaborate cross‑functionally with marketing, partnerships, account management, and customer success to deliver a customer‑first experience and help shape a digital world people can trust.

• Engage e‑commerce decision‑makers and build compelling cases for partnering with Trusted Shops.

• Actively contribute to lead definition, qualification, and acquisition – bringing your insights and creativity to the table.

Your profile

• 3+ years of sales experience in the SaaS industry or in selling complex, consultative digital products or software solutions.

• Deep understanding of e‑commerce platforms and a strong grasp of the SaaS landscape – you know the market and the players.

• Proven track record in sales, with experience managing diverse deals and stakeholders across the pipeline – from mid‑sized clients to fast‑growing enterprises.

• Proactive and results‑driven mindset – you're motivated by success, learn from setbacks, and continuously strive to improve.

• Exceptional communication skills, quick thinking, and a strategic approach to navigating complex sales conversations.

• Collaborative team player, able to work effectively with internal teams and build strong relationships with prospects and clients.

• Highly motivated and target‑oriented, with the ability to not just meet but regularly exceed ambitious sales goals.

• Fluency in German and English (spoken and written) – you communicate confidently and professionally in both languages, especially in negotiation and client‑facing situations.
