Role Description El mercado español es nuestro principal foco de crecimiento: pipeline inbound activo, verticales validados y clientes en Cataluña, Madrid y el resto del territorio. Tu misión es gestionar y cerrar ese pipeline con rigor, velocidad y acceso al decisor real. - Gestionar el ciclo completo de ventas para cuentas SMB y mid-market en España: cualificación, demo, propuesta, negociación y cierre. - Trabajar principalmente con leads inbound generados por marketing y SDRs. - Hacer discovery estructurado para identificar el dolor agudo: números de WhatsApp bloqueados, mandatos de compliance, ineficiencia en el call center. - Construir Project Plans en 48-72 horas del scoping en deals con urgencia. La velocidad importa — los deals que se alargan sin razón mueren. - Identificar y acceder al Economic Buyer desde el principio. Qualifications - 1-3 años de experiencia en ventas B2B SaaS con cuota. Es un rol junior-mid — nos importan más los instintos y el potencial que los títulos. - Experiencia vendiendo a SMB y mid-market (deals de €10K-€100K ACV). Experiencia enterprise es un plus, no un requisito. - Conocimiento o exposición a CX, plataformas de mensajería, IA conversacional, CCaaS o CPaaS es un plus importante. Si has vendido Twilio, Infobip, Zendesk, Intercom o similares, ya hablas el idioma del comprador. Requirements - AI-native. Usas herramientas de IA activamente en tu flujo de trabajo: investigación, outreach, prep, análisis. - Venta consultiva. Escuchas antes de presentar. Entiendes el negocio del cliente antes de hablar del tuyo. - Español nativo, obligatorio. Catalán muy valorado — una parte importante de nuestra base de clientes está en Cataluña. Francés a nivel profesional es un plus significativo. - Cómodo con la complejidad. Deals multi-stakeholder, objeciones técnicas, preguntas de integración — te involucras, no esquivas. - Disciplina de pipeline. Cualificas con honestidad y mantienes el CRM al día. Benefits - Pipeline inbound activo desde el primer día. Hay demanda real que gestionar — no empiezas en frío. - Pipeline en España que ya está generando. No empiezas desde cero en todos lados. - Colaboración directa con GTM, Marketing y Producto. Sin capas corporativas. - Una empresa que vende IA y espera que la uses. Invertimos en herramientas y formación. - 27 días de vacaciones + tu cumpleaños + 1 día de voluntariado. - Contrato fijo con salario base + variables + budget para formación + benefits por retribución flexible. - 100% remoto con base en España.
