Your Role

As part of the EMEA Sales team within a global sales organization, you will play a significant role in scaling one of the fastest-growing companies in the Developer Security space.

• Leading the end-to-end post-sales customer journey and identifying opportunities to expand and retain your existing client base by maintaining lasting relationships with key stakeholders.
• Focusing on the territory's customer base.
• Owning the end-to-end sales cycle for new customers.

• Fluency in German, both spoken and written, along with professional English skills.
• Experience selling a technical product and a desire to join a high-growth startup.
• 2+ years of closing experience.
• An understanding of the software developer lifecycle and the ability to articulate how a developer tooling product might fit in.
• Experience identifying target accounts that would be a good fit and generating a pipeline through outbound activity.
• Experience working within both short and long sales cycles.
• Self-motivation and determination: you aim to exceed your quota and enjoy working in fast-paced environments.
• A collaborative work ethic and a passion for being part of a high-achieving sales team.
• Resilience: you view mistakes and failures as learning opportunities and value feedback.
• An open, honest, and entrepreneurial approach to sales, mindful of your customer's risk tolerance.
  

We’d be Lucky if You: 

• Have worked in early-stage, fast-growth startups, especially in developer tooling.
• Have multilingual skills, especially in French or Dutch.
• Possess strong networking abilities.
