Location: Germany / Switzerland (Remote - EU/EEA travel required) | Type: Full-Time | Languages: English & German (both required)

About R17 Ventures AG

R17 Ventures AG is a performance marketing agency focused on one thing: building and scaling brands online. We believe there's always more that can be done to improve a client's bottom line - and we bring the ambition and expertise to prove it. We're looking for a Sales Executive who shares that drive and sees new business not as a transaction, but as the start of a long-term growth partnership.

The Role

You'll be a key part of our sales team, working alongside your manager and the greater management team, collaborating across the agency to bring the right clients on board. You'll own your own pipeline (from first outreach through to signed contract and onboarding handover) and be expected to take full responsibility for how you manage it. This is a fully remote role that suits someone who is structured, proactive, and doesn't need to be chased.

What You'll Do

• Own and manage your individual pipeline end-to-end: discovery, proposal, follow-up, contract negotiation, and onboarding handover
• Proactively identify and pursue mid-to-enterprise prospects, with a strong bias towards outbound (which may include attending industry events and door-to-door outreach)
• Collaborate with your manager and internal specialists to develop pitches and proposals that are tailored, credible, and commercially sound
• Develop and present tailored proposals and pricing structures
• Adapt sales messaging based on client profile, industry, and maturity
• Align every pitch to a client's actual revenue and growth targets, not just channel metrics
• Keep HubSpot accurate and up to date - clean data, honest forecasting
• Represent R17 at industry events and meetings across the EU/EEA
• Use AI tools to work faster - and apply the critical judgement to know when output needs a human hand before it goes out the door

What We're Looking For

Essential

• A background as a performance marketer, or 3+ years in B2B sales within a performance marketing agency - one or the other, no exceptions
• Proven track record selling to mid-to-enterprise clients
• Experience managing the full sales cycle independently
• Proficient in HubSpot or a comparable CRM
• Fluent in English and German (spoken and written)
• Commercially sharp - able to connect marketing activity directly to client revenue targets and agency profitability
• Proficient in Google Workspace (Slides, Docs, Sheets, Mail)
• Genuinely self-motivated and structured as a remote worker
• Passionate about helping clients grow, not just closing deals

Desirable

• Existing network of marketing decision-makers in DACH or broader EU markets
• Experience with paid search (Google Ads) and paid social (Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok Ads)
• Additional European language (French / Italian) a plus

Why R17?

• Competitive base salary and a rewarding commission structure
• 25 days annual leave per year
• A genuinely exciting company to be part of - we move fast, think ahead, and embrace innovation as standard
• Future-fit by design: we work with emerging technologies and approaches before they become mainstream
• A culture that feels more like a partnership than a hierarchy - your ideas are welcome, your initiative is valued, and trying new things is encouraged
• Remote-first flexibility with a team that trusts you to get the work done

How You'll Be Measured

New business revenue, pipeline health and velocity, pitch-to-close conversion rate, deal quality, and client satisfaction at onboarding handover.
