• Closing: Build the business case, handle objections, negotiate terms and turn successful trials into signed contracts.

• Pipeline and forecast: Develop opportunities, follow up consistently and keep HubSpot, next steps and deal risks current.

• Sales process: Improve demos and playbooks, use AI to reduce manual work and bring customer feedback to Product.

What you bring

• 5+ years in B2B SaaS sales, with your own closing and revenue responsibility in startups or scale-ups.

• Proven results: You can explain your quota attainment, typical deal sizes and personal contribution to winning deals.

• Experience selling complex software and converting pilots into contracts, ideally in Vertical AI or industry-specific SaaS.

• Independent execution, strong commercial judgment and hands-on use of AI to improve how you work.

• Fluent German, strong English and willingness to work onsite in Berlin-Mitte or Potsdam-Babelsberg.

What you get

• Competitive package: Salary + VSOP, plus a high, uncapped sales commission.

• Team: Work in a small, focused and experienced team with high talent density.

• Room to grow: Own projects and take on more responsibility as you deliver.
