Dataleap is building an agentic operating system for the enterprise, backed by $3M in funding from Y Combinator and angels including Aravind (Perplexity CEO) and Rahul Vohra (Superhuman). The company has achieved product-market fit, is doubling revenue monthly, and has more enterprise inbound demand than it can currently handle.
As the founding sales hire, you will work directly with the CEO and founder across the complete sales lifecycle—from initial outbound prospecting through contract signature. You'll own both a large and growing pipeline of inbound leads and demo requests, and will be responsible for establishing Dataleap's sales playbook from scratch. Every pitch, objection, and closed deal will shape how the company sells as it scales.
Key responsibilities include:
- Outbound: Identify ideal customer profiles and build a repeatable outbound motion from zero, managing the full prospecting cycle.
- Inbound: Demo and close warm prospects efficiently, converting interest into signed contracts.
- Events: Host executive dinners, agent hackathons, and other customer engagement events that deepen relationships.
- Systems & Process: Own sales data integrity, build the pipeline infrastructure, and establish processes and reporting frameworks to support 10x team growth.
- AI Leverage: Build your own Dataleap agents to systematically eliminate manual work from your role, not just boost productivity.
- Market Voice: Bring customer insights back to product and engineering; advocate for customer needs and provide constructive pushback.
- Ownership: Identify and execute on the countless tasks required to build a sales function from the ground up.
You'll have a front-row seat to AI innovation, selling a product that is transforming enterprise operations while using AI to transform how sales itself works. As the company scales, you'll help hire and build the sales team beneath you, with a clear path to leading a scaled revenue organization.
The role includes frequent trips to San Francisco, direct exposure to Y Combinator and founder networks, access to top mentors and coaches, an unlimited AI budget for automation, and the opportunity to learn from a founder who has personally closed every deal to date.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Proven track record as a closer: you've carried a quota and hit it, ideally selling complex software to enterprise or fast-growing companies. Experience running multi-stakeholder deals from champion through procurement is essential.
- Hunter mentality: you proactively source leads, enjoy outbound work, and cannot tolerate a quiet pipeline.
- AI power user: you actively use AI daily, can credibly demo agents because you build them yourself, and can engage technically with CTOs.
- High agency and speed: you set priorities, communicate clearly and concisely, and move fast.
- Low ego, high ownership: you execute unglamorous work (CRM hygiene, late-night signature chasing) without hesitation and are obsessed with your work.
- Systems builder: you naturally turn chaos into process and think about how the next ten reps will sell, not just yourself.
- Native German speaker and based in Munich (or willing to relocate).
