• Leading and coordinating the sales cycle from start to finish
• Involving the appropriate internal supporting stakeholders and partners at the optimal point in the sales cycle
• Using knowledge of innovation projects and Sclable’s way of working to successfully close contracts
• Attending industry/networking events and conferences to raise Sclable’s profile and secure new opportunities
• Building solid, trusted and valuable relationships with important clients and prospects

Advantageous:

• Network beyond DACH region or Europe

What we offer

• Flat hierarchy: working directly with the management team, empowerment and sharing responsibility
• Flexible hours and/or option of a hybrid working agreement
• Ideal environment for independent but connected personalities who want to achieve results without the limitations common in big agencies or corporates
• Interesting challenges with developmental opportunities
• The gross monthly salary starts at 4.100,- EUR (according to the collective agreement on data processing and information technology) and, depending on qualification and experience, usually ranges around 6.000,- EUR.
