Having raised over $200m in funding to date (most recently Series C), they are now looking to build out a world-class sales team in the DACH region, based from their new office in Cologne.

Backed by top investors and with a track record of success across Europe and the US, the business is now entering an exciting new chapter in the region. They’re looking for a high-calibre sales leader to build and lead this new team and it\’s a perfect role for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and wants to play a defining role in regional growth.

• Support on key deals and build relationships with strategic customers and partners
• Monitor pipeline health, optimise sales processes, and collaborate cross-functionally to drive efficiency
