* Analyse market trends, competitive landscapes, and regulatory environments to identify and capitalise on new business opportunities
* Build and maintain strong, long-lasting relationships with key clients and stakeholders. Promote teamwork and collaboration within the Growth team and across departments (Operations and Tech)

## **Your Profile**

* Successfully built and led teams in international markets or multi-market environments. Experience managing diverse teams across different geographies is a plus
* Role model and have 2+ years of experience in B2B sales. You built and managed your own pipeline (from lead generation to customer success). You achieved and overachieved ambitious sales targets
* With a hands-on attitude, you have a pragmatic yet structured approach to getting things done
* Demonstrate strong verbal and written communication skills in English and are fluent in other languages (eg: Spanish, Italian,...)
* Experience in competitive and fast-paced environments, such as consulting, VC, or hyper-growth startups

Please note that we are looking for support in the **Berlin** office of our portfolio company. Eligibility to work within the EU is required as well.

## **Benefits and Perks**

* Fulfil a role with entrepreneurial freedom and take a pre-validated business model to the next level
* Join an experienced Founder Team of serial and second-time founders (female/male)
* Attractive based, bonus and incentive program - participate in the company’s upside
