Founded in 2006, we combine scientific expertise and technology to turn complex weather and climate data into practical insights. Our forecasts, APIs and climate services help businesses and public‑sector organisations make informed decisions across sectors including energy, agriculture and urban planning. Your role You will own the B2B revenue plan and lead one integrated sales organisation across regions, sales development, partner channels, sales operations and customer success. You will work closely with the CEO, Product, Marketing and scientific and technical experts, while remaining personally involved in strategic accounts and complex deals. What you will do Deliver the annual B2B revenue plan across new business, renewals and account expansion, with clear regional targets and accountability. Build and develop a high‑performing sales team through clear roles, coaching, hiring and evidence‑based performance management.

Lead strategic account planning and complex, multi‑stakeholder sales, translating technical capabilities into measurable customer value. Sharpen market segmentation, strengthen inbound and outbound sales development, and build effective distributor and partner channels.

What you bring 10+ years in B2B sales or revenue leadership, including responsibility for an annual team revenue target and experience leading teams of 10 or more people.

Experience selling complex technical, data, API, software, analytics or scientific products through long, multi‑stakeholder buying cycles. Hands‑on ownership of CRM, pipeline governance and forecasting, with measurable examples of improved commercial performance. Experience leading regional or international sales teams and collaborating effectively with product specialists, scientists and engineers. Fluent English and willingness to work regularly from Basel with a strong office presence; this is not a remote‑only role. Native or fluent German is strongly preferred.
