💼 Role Overview

This is a 360° sales role, combining elements of a Key Account Manager (KAM) and Senior Business Development Representative (BDR). You’ll cover the full sales cycle—from acquisition to closing—with a balance of new client development (hunting) and key account management (farming).

They are looking for:

  • 1x Senior Sales Consultant

  • 1x Junior/Mid-Level Sales Consultant

📍 Location & Work Model

  • Location: Hamburg, Germany (or surrounding area e.g. Lübeck)

  • Work Model: Hybrid (not due to office presence, but to shape local culture together)

  • Contract: Permanent (Full-time)

  • Onboarding: 1–2 months onsite in Hamburg (partial remote possible)

💶 Compensation

  • Base Salary: €50,000 – €70,000 depending on experience

  • Commission: €25,000 – €40,000 (OTE €95K–€110K)

  • Probation Period: 6 months


🔍 Candidate Profile (Must-Haves)

  • 2+ years of B2B sales experience in IT consulting or IT staffing (freelance / TEMP / ANÜ model)

  • Proven success in acquiring and managing enterprise clients

  • Track record of closing large deals (€1.5M+ annual revenue)

  • Experience with contract, temporary staffing solutions (not PERM)


🧠 Key Responsibilities

  • Full sales cycle ownership: from prospecting to closing

  • Lead generation & client acquisition: through cold outreach (calls, emails, LinkedIn)

  • Market mapping: Identify and approach strategic target clients

  • Deal closing: Align solutions with client needs and close staffing/project engagements

  • Account development: Manage and grow key accounts independently

  • Contract negotiation & execution: incl. client presentations and stakeholder engagement

  • Pipeline ownership: Build and manage healthy pipelines with consistent FTE project wins

📌 Our Challenge: Finding talent senior enough to understand the business, but still hungry to do hands-on hunting. Initial breakdown: 50% new business, 50% existing. Top performers can shift into 100% hunting with key accounts.

  • Ambitious, charismatic, persuasive, and confident

  • High level of autonomy and initiative

  • Clear communicator with strong client-facing presence

  • Passion for sales and delivering results
