DEINE AUFGABEN Du schließt Deals in Märkten, die MICE DESK gerade erst erobert — gemeinsam mit dem lokalen Sales Manager, meist auf Englisch, immer mit Marktbauer-Mentalität. Du baust nicht nur ab, was da ist, du legst das Fundament für den nächsten Markt. * Du führst Demos, überwiegend auf Englisch und je nach Markt mit lokaler Unterstützung. * Du übernimmst Bedarfsermittlung, Beratung und Business-Case-Entwicklung für internationale Kunden. * Du verhandelst und schließt Deals ab. * Du baust Referenzkunden und Case Studies im jeweiligen Markt auf. * Du entwickelst neue Märkte und Partnerschaften gemeinsam mit dem Sales Manager - New Business. * Du spielst Marktfeedback an Sales, Marketing und Product zurück. DEIN PROFIL * Eine von zwei Grundlagen bringst du sicher mit: entweder einen Hospitality-Hintergrund mit praktischer Erfahrung mit den Systemen der Hotellerie (PMS, CRM, Buchungs- und Event-Tools), oder einen Vertriebshintergrund im Enterprise-SaaS. Das Idealprofil vereint beides: Vertrieb in einem Hospitality-Tech-Unternehmen. * Starke Demo- und Verhandlungskompetenz, unternehmerische Souveränität. * Verhandlungssicheres Englisch als Hauptarbeitssprache. Eine unserer Zielmarkt-Sprachen — u. a. Spanisch, Italienisch, Französisch, Niederländisch oder eine osteuropäische Sprache . * Interkulturelle Kompetenz und Marktbauer-Mentalität. * Technisches Verständnis für SaaS-Lösungen, Zahlenaffinität. * Internationale Reisebereitschaft. Ein Pluspunkt: Erfahrung im internationalen Markteintritt oder mit internationalen Key Accounts. Netzwerk im Zielmarkt. WARUM WIR? Wir sind das Technologieunternehmen, das den Gruppen- und Veranstaltungsverkauf in der Hotellerie neu denkt. Was heute über Posteingang, Excel und Telefon läuft, macht unsere Plattform Rocket zu einem durchgängigen, KI-gestützten Prozess — von der ersten Anfrage bis zum unterschriebenen Vertrag. Europäische Hotelgruppen führen ihren Gruppenverkauf bereits darüber. Das bedeutet für dich: Du arbeitest nicht trotz KI, sondern mit ihr. Wer bei uns anfängt, gibt Feedback, das in Produktentscheidungen einfließt — und versteht irgendwann, warum ein Prompt besser funktioniert als ein anderer. Und weil wir schnell wachsen, ist vieles bei uns noch im Entstehen. Manche Antwort lautet ehrlicherweise „das bauen wir gerade noch”. Genau darin liegt die Chance: Du triffst auf Freiräume statt auf fertige Strukturen, und was du hier aufbaust, trägt deine Handschrift. WAS WIR BIETEN * Arbeit mit echter KI-Technologie auf internationalem Niveau — nicht als Pilotprojekt, sondern als Geschäftsmodell. * Echter Gestaltungsspielraum. Deine Ideen landen nicht in einem Ideenbriefkasten, sondern in der nächsten Iteration. * Kurze Wege zur Geschäftsführung. Entscheidungen fallen in Tagen, nicht in Gremienschleifen. * Wachstum, das du mitgehst. Wir bauen gerade die nächste Unternehmensphase — mit Rollen, Verantwortung und Perspektiven, die es vor einem Jahr noch nicht gab. * Hauptarbeitsort Leipzig mit regelmäßiger Büropräsenz und flexiblem Homeoffice-Anteil. Hybride Modelle sind bei uns gelebte Praxis, nicht die Ausnahme. * Unbefristeter Vertrag, Vollzeit. * Leistungsprämien für nachweisbare Erfolge. * Mehrtägige Teamevents an Orten, die tatsächlich Spaß machen. SO LÄUFT UNSER BEWERBUNGSPROZESS 1. Intro-Interview — wir lernen uns kennen, du erfährst, wo wir stehen und wohin wir wollen. 2. Case Study oder Technical Study, je nach Rolle — ein echtes Problem aus unserem Alltag, das wir gemeinsam durchgehen. 3. Interview mit deiner künftigen Führungskraft und, je nach Position, mit unseren Gründern. Vom ersten Gespräch bis zur Entscheidung vergehen bei uns maximal vier Wochen. Und du hörst in jedem Fall von uns — auch dann, wenn es diesmal nicht passt.
