About this (Senior) Business Development Representative (m/f/d) role at Zeit AI (YC S24)
About Zeit AI
Zeit AI builds the agent framework for business intelligence. We connect to the systems companies already run (ERP exports, CRM data, spreadsheets, internal databases) and put agents on top so operators get reliable answers without hiring a data team. Founded by Marvin and Leopold (both x-Palantir), YC S24, backed by Oxford Seed Fund and Sequoia Scout. Customers across manufacturing, agriculture, and aviation. $1M+ ARR in year one and doubling every six months.
What this role is
Outbound, learned properly and at speed. Cold calling is how we won our first customers, and it still works better for us than anything else. You will pick up the phone daily, build cadences that convert, and book meetings that turn into revenue.
Within weeks you run your first discovery calls and define use cases with prospects yourself. If you bring outbound experience, you move to (Junior) AE within 3 to 6 months and close your own deals. If you are new to sales, the path is exactly the same; your ramp speed sets the pace. We want to succeed with you. Daily coaching, clear targets, uncapped upside. You will not be left alone with a phone and a list.
What you will do
Run high-velocity outbound: cold calls first, email and LinkedIn cadences where they help
Qualify prospects: real pain, urgency, budget, and the right people in the room
Book qualified meetings, then increasingly run discovery and use-case definition yourself
Keep HubSpot clean: notes, stages, and funnel numbers you can defend
Improve the machine every week: scripts, segments, messaging, tooling
You will thrive here if you
want targets, upside, and the accountability that comes with both
shake off a hard no and dial the next number
ask for coaching and act on it the same day
speak directly and clearly, in German and in English
treat your pipeline like a product you keep improving
Requirements
German C1 or above, plus solid English
Munich, or ready to relocate (we pay for the move; in-person is required)
Sales experience is a plus, not a requirement. Hunger and learning speed are.
What we offer
We are based in Munich and build the team around in-person work. We pay for your full relocation.
Regular San Francisco offsites for product sprints and staying close to the frontier.
Zeit AI package: daily lunch allowance, free in-office dinner, wellpass membership, best tech & tools
