Smart water management in buildings

Shayp is a Brussels-based water intelligence company operating across nine European countries. We combine IoT sensors and AI-powered analytics to detect water inefficiencies and leaks in commercial, industrial and public buildings, helping utilities, insurers, real estate portfolios &amp;corporates dramatically reduce waste and cost.
The DACH region is a strategic priority, with Germany as our initial launchpad. We are seeking a commercially driven Business Developer with business-fluent German to establish our presence in Germany before expanding into Austria and Switzerland.
This is a hunter role with a second, equally important dimension: building the supply side. You will both close new enterprise accounts directly, and identify, court and sign the large portfolio holders, housing associations, municipalities, facility managers with hundreds or thousands of buildings, who become the delivery backbone for our sponsor-funded stewardship projects. Both halves of the mandate matter equally.
Location
Germany-based (central/eastern Germany preferred). Fully remote-compatible. Regular travel within DACH, occasional travel to Brussels HQ.
Priority market
Germany first. Austria and Switzerland as expansion phase once Germany traction is established.
