Job Description

About the Role

Join a cybersecurity sales team focused on helping modern businesses automate compliance and security. You will drive new revenue across small and midsize businesses in the DACH region, working in a high-velocity, inbound-heavy sales motion.

What You'll Do

  • Own new revenue across SMB accounts in the DACH region, primarily from inbound and BDR-sourced leads while generating some pipeline independently.

  • Manage the full sales cycle from qualification through close, with an average cycle of about 30 days.

  • Run structured discovery and product demonstrations, qualifying opportunities against a clear framework.

  • Engage SMB decision-makers, including founders and operations leaders.

  • Explain compliance and security topics in terms of clear business value.

  • Maintain accurate pipeline records and forecasts in HubSpot.

  • Work with BDR, product, and onboarding teams to improve sales playbooks and share market feedback.

What We're Looking For

  • C1 or C2 German proficiency and confidence communicating with customers in German.

  • One to two years of experience as a BDR, ideally with readiness to move into an AE role, or experience closing high-velocity SMB deals as an Account Executive.

  • Comfort with a fast-paced, high-volume, demo-driven sales environment and motivation to close deals.

  • A coachable approach, with interest in learning and improving, and some exposure to demos or closing.

  • Familiarity with sales tools such as HubSpot, Clay, or Apollo is helpful.

  • Experience in an early-stage startup is valuable. Exposure to compliance, information security, risk, or GRC is a plus.
