Your opportunity

Are you excited about making a real impact in a fast-paced sales environment, while being part of a supportive, purpose-driven team? Do you enjoy working with autonomy while contributing to a bigger mission? At Leapsome, we’re on a journey to shape the future of work, and we’re looking for curious, driven individuals who thrive in structured, high-energy environments and value continuous learning.

What is your job?

You’ll own the full sales cycle for our high-velocity segment (companies with 10–49 employees), a fast-growing customer base with strong interest in our solution. Your mission is to identify and convert the right opportunities quickly and thoughtfully into delighted customers.

• Own the sales process from first contact to closed deal: qualifying leads, running compelling demos, negotiating, and closing, all within a ~30-day sales cycle.
• Manage a high volume of opportunities efficiently through a semi-automated, well-structured process.
• Build trusted relationships with diverse stakeholders and tailor your approach to each customer’s unique context.
• Prioritize effectively to focus on deals most likely to close and bring long-term value.
• Collaborate with RevOps to continuously improve the sales process, using data and feedback to work smarter and boost win rates.
• Maintain a clean pipeline with accurate forecasting, CRM hygiene, and clear timelines.
• Contribute to smooth initial implementation for new customers.
• Get involved in cross-functional projects (e.g. OKR initiatives) that align with your interests and support your growth.
• Become a product and industry expert to guide customers with a consultative, value-driven approach.

Who are we looking for?

• We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. If you don’t meet every single requirement but feel excited about the role, we still encourage you to apply.
• You have 2–3 years of experience in a sales role (ideally B2B SaaS) or a client-facing position such as consulting.
• You’re fluent in German and English; additional Central European languages are a plus.
• You ask insightful questions, listen actively, and quickly understand what your customers need.
• You’re structured and detail-oriented, with a passion for optimizing processes and making data-informed decisions.
• You enjoy fast-paced work and are confident balancing efficiency with empathy.
• You’re motivated by impact and purpose, especially in shaping the future of work and enabling continuous learning.
• You have an interest in technology and are comfortable discussing tools and platforms with customers.
• Experience in HR tech, or fields like organizational development, people development, would be a bonus.
