Founding Commercial Lead
Utrecht HQ (Remote/Hybrid) - €75K base + uncapped commission + up to 3% equity worth ~€400k
A small team building an AI-driven platform that stops cloud waste before it happens is hiring a commercial mind. We are looking for you to drive the sales function forward. One of the co-founders spent years at AWS, taking sales teams from zero to $100M in revenue. Now he's building his own company and it's growing at 300% month-on-month with no commercial function yet.
€500B is wasted on cloud infrastructure every year. Not because companies don't care - because the tools they use show them the problem after the money is already gone. This product does something different: AI agents that catch cost issues during development, before they hit production. Customers are already seeing 30-40% savings.
Cloud costs are becoming CXO-level conversations. The timing is near-perfect. And they're barely started.
