Dutch Founding Sales Executive

Job description

Ready to build a market from scratch and shape the future of digital insurance in the Netherlands?

Our client is one of Europe’s fastest-growing insurtech scale-ups, founded in 2021 and backed by more than €41M in funding. With tens of thousands of customers already served across Europe, the company is now entering its most promising international market: the Netherlands.

 

To make this expansion a success, they are looking for their first commercial hire in the country. You will sign the first Dutch clients, structure the local sales approach, and lay the foundation for a scalable sales engine.

You won’t just join a launch. You will help make it succeed.

 

Your responsibilities

  • Adapt the pitch and sales strategy to the Dutch market

  • Refine scripts, qualification frameworks, and objection handling

  • Collaborate closely with Product, Insurance, and Customer Care teams

  • Contribute to defining scalable processes and best practices

Driving inbound sales performance

  • Convert inbound leads into customers in a full-cycle sales model

  • Manage the entire sales process from qualification to closing

  • Understand client needs and propose tailored, high-value solutions

  • Track KPIs and manage your pipeline with a data-driven approach

  • Identify conversion gaps and improvement opportunities

  • Contribute to building the Dutch sales playbook

  • Support the foundations for future hiring and team development

Your profile

  • Dutch native level with strong English (C1 minimum)

  • 2–4 years of B2B sales experience, ideally within a scale-up or fast-growing environment

  • Experience selling products that require explanation and trust (SaaS, fintech, insurance, services)

  • Analytical, structured, and KPI-driven

  • Entrepreneurial mindset: you enjoy building from zero

  • Strong feedback culture fit and team-oriented attitude

  • Ambitious, with clear leadership potential

  • Management experience is a plus, but this is not a manager role from day one. The focus is performance, structure, and long-term growth.

What’s in it for you?

  • Salary range depending on experience

  • Uncapped bonus with quarterly payouts

  • Equity package (approximately 30 percent of salary in stock options)

  • Fast career progression opportunities

  • Hybrid work model with flexibility

  • Direct exposure to leadership and founders

  • The opportunity to build and shape a new European market

Why join at this stage?

  • First commercial hire in the Netherlands

  • Real impact from day one

  • Strong financial backing and proven international expansion model

  • A mission-driven company modernizing a traditional industry

  • Clear path toward leading your own team

If you are looking for a high-impact role where you can combine sales excellence, strategic thinking, and leadership ambition, this opportunity offers exactly that.
