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

What we need right now is you: a strong sales professional who understands how innovation truly reaches the market—not through endless product development, but through close customer contact, honest communication, and genuine partnership. You close deals—with structure, clarity, and a genuine understanding of our customers.

Customer satisfaction is our top priority

At Autarkize , closing a deal Autarkize an end in itself. Our most important goal is: delighted customers.
For the sales team, this means, in concrete terms: You don’t just turn leads into contracts—you turn them into satisfied, convinced customers who feel well-advised, make a sound business decision, and have long-term trust in our solution.
After all, our systems aren’t a “quick buy”—they’re a major project involving investments, financing, loans, collateral, and responsibility. That’s exactly why we need someone who can close deals—but who’s just as skilled at guiding customers smoothly through the decision-making process.

 

Your tasks:

• Qualify instead of just making phone calls: You analyze how serious the customer's interest really is - and bring structure to a broad, heterogeneous lead list
• Develop & manage the customer journey: You define how our leads become customers - with clear steps, materials, and commitment
• Develop Business cases: You calculate investment calculations for individual scenarios and understand how attractive our system is economically
• Understanding & Implementing Financing Models: You’ll be involved in financing from the very beginning and will develop models in collaboration with our partners (leasing, rent-to-own, banks)
• Build up sales partners and networks: You identify suitable structures and help to shape our sales ecosystem
• Live technical understanding: You don't have to be an engineer - but you understand what our technology can do, categorize customer questions, and implement them together with our engineers

 

What you bring with you:

· At least 5–7 years of experience in technical B2B sales

· At least a basic understanding of energy engineering or the energy industry

· Demonstrable success in selling capital goods in the at least 6-digit range (preferably higher)

· Experience in prototype and early-stage sales: customized solutions rather than standard products, technical dependencies, longer decision-making cycles, and Business

· Closing skills & ownership: You actively drive the next steps and the closing

· At the same time, a strong focus on the customer: you don't just want to make sales; you want to build long-term relationships with customers

· Organizational skills and project understanding: You can help guide complex decisions

· Startup mindset: You’re used to working in a dynamic environment where not everything is set in stone—and you see this as creative freedom, not a limitation. You bring structure where none exists and remain reliable as projects evolve.

Ideally:

· Practical CRM experience (e.g., HubSpot)

· Knowledge of finance, leasing, or project financing

· Expertise in the fields of “thermal utilization of biomass,” “combustion technology,” or “industrial thermal engineering”

 

What we offer:

• A highly motivated, cordial team with a real spirit of optimism - we don't just write it, we live it.
