You will be responsible for the full sales cycle. Up for the challenge? Get in touch.

Your Responsibilities

• You will spot and develop new revenue opportunities within our current accounts, typically involving cross-departmental selling.
• You will identify the prospect’s or client’s needs, develop an offer based on our services, and close the deal.
• You will regularly work with other teams (BDR, client success, product development, and marketing), market analyst, and consumer research) to optimize performance.

Your Profile

• 3+ years’ work experience in a sales role.
• BSc/MSc degree in Economics, Market Research, Business Administration, or related field.
• Flawless English (written and spoken).
• A passion for digital media and entertainment in general and games and esports in particular.
• A positive, goal-oriented, self-motivated, independent thinker.
• A proven ability to exceed expectations or targets.
• Coachability, openness to feedback, and dedication to consistent self-improvement.
• We love quirks! If you have particular unique interests or talents, we will work them into your personal development.

Our Offer

• Fulltime job in the center of Amsterdam, with international travel.
• A job with a very international outlook in a dynamic, ever-changing and fun industry.
• Direct contact with our partners, prospects, and clients.
• Plenty of room to develop yourself and shape your future career.
