• Track performance, manage pipeline, and drive decisions through data
• Identify conversion gaps and implement optimization strategies
• Build and document a scalable Dutch sales playbook
• Lay the groundwork for future hiring and team development

• Native-level Dutch with strong English (minimum C1)
• 4–6 years of B2B sales experience, ideally in a scale-up or high-growth environment
• Proven experience in building markets, processes, or new business lines
• Experience in consultative or complex sales (SaaS, fintech, insurance, or services)
• Strong analytical and structured approach with a KPI-driven mindset
• Entrepreneurial, hands-on, and comfortable with ambiguity
• Strong team player with a direct feedback mindset
• Clear ambition to grow into a leadership role

What’s in it for you?

• Equity package (approximately 30 percent of salary in stock options)
• Fast-track career progression toward a leadership position
• Flexible hybrid working model
• Direct exposure to founders and leadership team
• Opportunity to build and scale a new European market from the ground up

Why join at this stage?

• First commercial hire in the Netherlands with high ownership
• Immediate and visible impact on company growth
• Strong financial backing and proven expansion strategy
• Mission-driven company transforming a traditional industry
• Clear path toward building and leading your own team
