  • Inbound demos: 8–16 qualified demo calls per day

  • Quota ownership: clear monthly and quarterly targets

  • Pipeline management: structured follow-ups and clean CRM hygiene

  • Help sharpen our sales motion as we scale fast

  • Ready for a paid temporary relocation (around 2 months in Vienna to soak up our culture)

What We Offer
  • €70.000-€120.000 OTE (base + uncapped commission)

  • Equity - you build it, you should own a piece of it

  • Food & drinks - at our Vienna office, lunch and dinner are on us (plus all the drinks your heart desires, and yes, we have protein bars and vitamins too)

  • Equipment of your choice - whatever makes you happy

  • Regular team offsites

Hiring Process
  1. 15 min intro call

  2. 45 min skill interview with our CCO Alex, including a demo simulation

  3. 30 min chat to get to know the go-to-market manager

  4. 20 min culture call with our Founders
