Zeit AI is building ZeitMind, an autonomous data engineer for the European mid-market. The company connects to existing business systems (ERP, CRM, spreadsheets, databases) and deploys AI agents to help operators get reliable answers without hiring a data team. Founded by ex-Palantir engineers, backed by Sequoia Scout and Oxford Seed Fund, YC S24. The company has grown from zero to €1M ARR in twelve months with six people, doubling every six months. Customers span manufacturing, agriculture, and aviation.
As Business Development Representative for France, you will open and build the French market from the ground up. Your primary responsibility is running high-velocity outbound prospecting, with cold calling as the core channel, supplemented by email and LinkedIn cadences. You will identify pain points, generate qualified leads, and convert interest into customer opportunities.
Key responsibilities include: executing outbound campaigns with cold calling as the primary channel; qualifying prospects by assessing pain, urgency, budget, and stakeholder fit; booking and increasingly running discovery calls to define use cases directly with C-level prospects; maintaining accurate pipeline data in HubSpot with clean notes and defensible funnel metrics; continuously testing and improving scripts, segments, messaging, and tools; and building genuine relationships with prospects from first contact.
This role is positioned as a fast track into sales leadership. The company commits to advancing high performers into Junior Account Executive roles within 3-6 months, regardless of prior sales experience. You will receive daily coaching, clear targets, and uncapped upside. The team emphasizes hands-on growth and collaborative improvement rather than isolation.
The company offers a clearly defined Ideal Customer Profile, a product already generating revenue, ambitious teammates, and a Munich-based hub with in-person work by design. Relocation support is available within Europe. Benefits include daily lunch allowance, covered office dinners, wellpass membership, best-in-class tools, and a €5k referral bonus.
REQUIREMENTS: Fluent in French and English (German is a strong plus). Excellent communication skills. Motivated to build from the ground up and work hands-on. Comfortable with cold calling and high-velocity outbound. Ability to qualify prospects and assess real pain and urgency. Experience managing pipeline and CRM discipline preferred but not required—the company explicitly welcomes candidates new to sales who are hungry and want to learn fast.
