What the job really is
About the Role
This is a founding sales hire at a fast-growing B2B SaaS company building the intelligence engine for the commercial & industrial (C&I) energy transition. The platform automates ROI, yield, and financial modeling for battery energy storage systems (BESS), enabling installers, battery manufacturers, and wholesalers across the DACH region and broader Europe to close deals faster.
As Sales Development Representative, you will be the spearhead of revenue growth — owning outbound pipeline from first touch to qualified opportunity, working directly alongside the founding team to scale the customer base aggressively across Europe.
What You'll Do
Build and own the outbound pipeline end-to-end: cold calls, email sequences, and LinkedIn outreach targeting C-level decision-makers across DACH and Europe.
Work directly with founders to test and refine pitch angles, messaging, and outreach strategies — not just execute static playbooks.
Identify and prioritise high-value prospects among installers, wholesalers, distributors, and battery manufacturers.
Manage and iterate on CRM workflows and sales automation tooling to maximise outreach efficiency.
Hit and exceed ambitious pipeline and conversion targets in a high-velocity environment.
Contribute to building the sales foundation and playbook for European expansion.
What We're Looking For
Dealbreakers:
1–3 years of experience in B2B SaaS outbound sales or a high-velocity sales environment.
Native or bilingual German language proficiency.
Fluent English (written and spoken).
Required:
Demonstrated track record of executing cold outreach campaigns (cold calls, email sequences, LinkedIn).
Experience independently building and managing outbound sales pipelines.
Hands-on experience with CRM systems and sales automation tools.
Proven history of meeting or exceeding sales targets and quota.
Nice to Have:
Experience with modern AI-powered prospecting or email automation platforms.
Prior exposure to CleanTech, battery energy storage (BESS), or energy sector markets.
Experience selling to C-level or enterprise buyers.
Raw talent and trajectory matter more than tenure. If you have the drive and the fundamentals, we want to hear from you.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary: €60,000 – €80,000 per year (plus uncapped performance bonus).
Equity: VSOP / equity package with standard vesting.
Direct access to founding team for daily coaching and deal-closing mentorship.
Tools: Access to best-in-class AI sales tooling, CRM automation, and high-performance hardware.
Location
On-site in Berlin, Hamburg, or Kiel, Germany. This is a fully on-site role. The interview process includes an initial conversation with the CEO, a follow-up with the founding team, and a practical outreach assessment on a real project.
