The Role please read this first
This is a part-time role that is meant to grow.
You start at 20% (about 8 hours a week) on a permanent contract. As the German-speaking customer base grows we expect the hours to grow with it.
You are our German-speaking voice. Four things sit with you:
- You look after our German-speaking customers. Every German-speaking client talks to you first. This is the heart of the role.
- You close the meetings our India team books. They run educational outbound campaigns to growers and hand you a warm briefed prospect. You take the meeting in German and you close it.
- You open the cooperatives. Cooperatives and larger enterprises are where our biggest deals are and in Germany and Austria we are starting from nothing. This is the part of the job with real upside and it is paid accordingly.
- You represent databaum at trade events. Fairs grower days and industry events in the German-speaking market planned well in advance.

How we sell: our campaigns teach; they do not push. Growers are experts in their own vineyards. We earn the meeting by being useful and keep the customer by staying useful. If you sell by wearing people down we are not a fit.
