Role Description You're our first dedicated closer. Today the founders run sales, you take that motion and own it. You'll run the full cycle: from first conversation to a signed customer, then a clean handoff to Customer Operations. - Sell to founders, CTOs, and DevOps leads at some of the fastest-growing startups in Europe and the US. - Turn "~20% of your AWS bill back, for free" into a yes from a technical buyer. - Discipline: relentless follow-up, honest expectation-setting, and knowing exactly why a deal will or won't close. What You'll Do: - Run the full sales cycle: qualify, run the free savings estimate, handle objections, and close to a signed billing transfer. - Sell straight: set expectations the first month will prove right. - Follow up relentlessly: run a clean, multi-channel pipeline and never let a warm conversation go cold. - Hand off clean: brief Customer Operations on exactly what was promised. - Help shape the playbook: provide feedback on messaging, objections, and segments that convert. Qualifications - Closing experience: you've carried a quota and hit it, ideally in a B2B / SaaS / technical sale. - Comfortable selling to technical buyers: translate savings into business value for a founder. - Follow-up discipline: run a clean pipeline and don't drop warm leads. - Early-stage comfort: little process exists; you build it as you go. Requirements - Familiarity with AWS billing, cloud-cost mechanics, or FinOps. - Outbound experience (cold email / cold calling). - Additional European languages. Benefits - Trajectory: first AE at a company that went from €0 to €1M in 8 months. - Ownership: help shape the sales motion and the playbook. - An offer that sells: uncapped variable on a genuinely easy-to-say-yes-to product. - Company off/on-sites: regular travels to European hotspots. - OTE €70K–120K - base plus uncapped variable on closed new business. - Remote within Europe - willing to travel, and possible relocation in the future. - Available to travel to collaborate with the team every 1-2 months.
