Become part of our team!

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

Your mission

You are the control center between customers, field service, engineering, and management, and you are responsible for ensuring that everyone is properly informed and that things move quickly. You are the reliable support for our technical sales team, enabling them to make binding commitments in the field as quickly as possible.

• Maintain sales processes & CRM

You keep data up to date, ensure clean documentation, and help make our processes scalable (e.g., CRM).

• Prepare offers and documents

You will assist in creating and maintaining offer documents, project overviews, customer presentations, calculation bases, and follow-ups.

• Interface to technology & project team

You collect technical queries, coordinate internal consultations, and ensure that customers receive answers faster than they expect, without anyone having to "chase them down."
