The position is available on both a part-time and full-time basis—what’s important to us is courage, curiosity, an open mindset, and the ability to work well with others. Your manager is based in Berlin and is therefore mostly available remotely.
You’ll still have a great social life, though, because a really nice team is waiting for you here in Biessenhofen.

Your Role with Us

  • Day-to-day financial accounting is your specialty: We’ll bring it in-house, and you’ll manage it independently—from posting entries to handling day-to-day accounts receivable and accounts payable
  • You can digitally record receipts and easily keep track of everything
  • You can easily manage your travel expenses using our digital expense tracker (PLEO)
  • You have full control over your payment transactions, including open-item lists and the dunning process
  • And because we’re a real team, you’ll be happy to pitch in beyond just the numbers—whether it’s event planning, small purchases, or other back-office tasks that round out our day-to-day work

What you bring with you

  • Completed business training
  • In-depth knowledge of day-to-day bookkeeping and the ability to post entries independently
  • At least 3 years of professional experience
  • Proficiency in using common Office tools
  • Practical experience with DATEV accounting software and experience with ERP systems are a plus.

What matters to us

  • You think critically and understand how business processes are interconnected
  • Are you interested in digital tools, AI applications, and efficient workflows?
  • You work independently and in an organized manner, and you take a pragmatic approach to tasks
  • We can count on you—accuracy and responsibility come naturally to you
  • You bring courage, curiosity, and an open mind to the role, and you’re a strong team player—even when it comes to team tasks outside of accounting (e.g., event planning, small purchases, back-office work)—
    , and you’ll be on-site at least 3 days a week

Technical Sales (m/f/d) – Capital Goods, Prototype Sales & Pyrolysis Plants

Hybrid (87640 Biessenhofen and flexible within Germany, Austria, and Switzerland)

Our revolutionary technology is finally on the market—and interest is huge. Autarkize modular pyrolysis plants for the utilization of biomass residues, and potential customers are clamoring for them. Leads turn into projects, and discussions turn into real investment decisions.

What we need now is you: a strong sales personality who not only maintains contacts but also closes deals—with structure, clarity, and genuine customer understanding.

Customer satisfaction is our top priority

At Autarkize , graduation Autarkize not an end in itself.

Our most important goal is: enthusiastic customers.

In concrete terms, this means the following for sales:

You don't just turn leads into contracts—you turn them into satisfied, convinced customers who feel well advised, make economically sound decisions, and have long-term confidence in our solution.

Because our systems are not a "quick purchase," but rather a major project involving investments, financing, loans, collateral, and responsibility. That's exactly why you need someone who can close the deal—but who is just as skilled at guiding customers smoothly through the decision-making process.

Your mission

You will be responsible for establishing and implementing our technical sales department—with a clear goal:

Turn qualified prospects into real projects—and bring them to a successful conclusion.

We are not looking for a traditional key account manager who mainly looks after existing customers.

We are looking for salespeople who say:

A good day is a day with closure.

And at the same time:

A really good day is a deal that keeps the customer happy in the long term.

No "Hunter" show or pressure sales—just professional, reliable, and customer-focused.

What you will do

  • Qualify leads – instead of just managing them

You recognize which inquiries have real potential (demand, budget, timing, decision-making process) and bring structure to a broad list of leads.

  • Mastering Prototype & Early-Stage Sales

You can guide customers safely even when not everything is "off the shelf" yet: pilot projects, technical queries, adjustments—you provide guidance and build trust.

  • Build and manage the customer journey

You define how leads become projects—with clear steps, materials, commitment, and a process that is scalable.

  • Understanding Business and project logic

You work with numbers and arguments: investment calculations, profitability, risks, amortization—and turn this into a story that is ready for decision-making.

  • Consider financing (don't dismiss it)

Our customers often invest using loans, leasing, hire purchase, or partner models. You can understand such structures, address them, and actively integrate them into project planning.

  • Living with a focus on results—without sacrificing customer benefits

You bring deals to fruition—in a friendly, professional, and engaging manner.

Not "nice without outcome," but also not "conclusion at any price."

Because our motto is: After making a purchase, the customer should say, "That was the right decision."

What you should bring with you

  • At least 5–7 years of experience in technical B2B sales
  • Proven success in selling capital goods in the at least 6-figure range (higher figures are also welcome)
  • Experience in prototype/project sales, i.e., sales in situations involving customized solutions rather than standard products, technical dependencies, longer decision-making cycles, and Business
  • Closing strength & ownership: you actively steer the next steps and closing
  • High customer focus at the same time: you don't just want to sell, you want to win customers for the long term.
  • Structure and project understanding: you can support complex decisions
  • Ideally, experience with financing, leasing, or project financing
  • Nice to have: CRM experience (e.g., HubSpot)

Important: What we are NOT looking for

  • No pure key account managers who mainly provide support
  • No "I'll build relationships, someone else can close the deal later"
  • No "Hunter" who builds up pressure and moves on

We are looking for strong salespeople who love closing deals—and are just as good at turning leads into enthusiastic customers.

What we offer

  • A highly motivated, friendly team with a genuine spirit of optimism
  • Meaningful mission: Energy transition through circular economy
  • Technology with impact, pilot customers, and genuine demand
  • Freedom + responsibility: you really shape sales
  • Flexible working, clear values, and real prospects
