You will build and manage a sales pipeline from scratch through cold calling and outbound prospecting across the European space market. You are responsible for the entire sales cycle, including technical discovery, proposal creation, and closing contracts.
Requirements
Candidates must have 3-5 years of experience in full-cycle B2B sales within a structured, quota-driven environment. A strong hunting instinct and the ability to manage daily outbound activity are required, while aerospace industry knowledge is not.
Full job description
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
We build carbon-fiber pressure vessels that go into orbit. You'll build the pipeline that gets them there.
This is a pure hunting role: cold calls, first meetings, follow-ups, closed contracts. You own the full cycle start to finish, no handoffs. If you've spent the last 3-5 years on a structured, metrics-driven sales floor and you measure your week in calls made, meetings booked, and deals closed, this is your next step up.
What You'll Do:
Build your own pipeline from scratch through cold calls and outbound prospecting across the European space market.
Run the full sales cycle yourself: first touch, qualification, technical discovery, proposal, close.
Track and hit weekly and monthly activity and revenue targets, the same rhythm you already run today.
Get in front of customers early and often, calls, site visits, trade shows included.
Learn the technical side of COPVs on the job. We train you on the product. You bring the hunting instinct.
YOUR PROFILE
3-5 years in full-cycle B2B sales, ideally from a structured, quota-driven sales organization.
A daily habit of outbound activity: calls, outreach, pipeline building, not waiting on inbound leads.
Competitive drive. You track your numbers because you want to win, not because someone's watching.
Curiosity about how things are made. No aerospace background required, we teach you the product.
Fluent English. German is a plus.
WHAT WE OFFER
Base salary at 60-80% of OTE, uncapped variable on top. You control your upside.
Short paths, fast decisions, no layers between you and the people who call the shots.
Real coaching and structure. You always know your number and how you're tracking against it.
Germany Ticket, EGYM Wellpass, or a tax-free GivveCard, your call.
Fresh shared lunch every day, different daily, peak team bonding.
