Company mission
To orchestrate the full supplier lifecycle - transforming procurement, third-party risk management, and spend control.
Role
Who you are
- You’re ambitious and hard-working, and will succeed at whatever you put your mind to
- You make up for any potential lack of experience with intelligence, grit, and a constant growth mindset
- You have natural hustle and know how to get people on side
- You know you can sell and are hungry for an entrepreneurial & high impact journey
- You derive energy from building meaningful relationships and setting & achieving lofty goals
- You get bored when things don’t move fast or when you can’t have an outsized impact
- You have 3-7 years of experience succeeding in a B2B SaaS sales role or something comparable
- If you’ve done B2B sales before, you will have consistently performed top or nearly top of your teamIt might even be ok if you haven’t done B2B / SaaS sales before but you will have consistently excelled at something incredibly challenging that demonstrates your grit & perserverance, and your ability to perform in the top 1%. If you’re less experienced, our Commercial Associate role is likely a better fit
- You’re entrepreneurial and want to be part of building a business. You want to rise faster or earn more than would be possible in any ‘normal’ career and you’re happy to roll up your sleeves and do whatever’s required. FYI, we've signed up to the Future Founder Promise
- You’re ambitious, competitive, and care lots about your career. You are probably happiest when working really hard and solving challenging problems/winning deals. You know this requires dedication & some sacrifice but you think it’s worth it
- You’ve got a track record of exceptional performance, whether it’s in academia, work, sport, a sales team, or whatever else you’ve put your mind to
- You’re intelligent and have the capacity to rapidly understand our product inside and out, without the crutch of relying on sales engineers
- You have good commercial intuition, and the ability to build rapport, influence people & drive change, whether it’s with a distinguished exec or a junior operator. You can get on well with anyone and have the gravitas to sell to senior leadership (eg. CFOs), or the ability to learn quickly
- You’re an outstanding communicator; verbal, written, and when presenting
What the job involves
- You’ll be joining us at an incredibly exciting time, just as things are starting to take off! Last summer, we raised an initial $5m from two tier 1 VCs and 30+ renowned founders, and we’ve spent the past 12 months building & deploying our platform with well known tech companies
- You’ll be one of the first 'quota-carriers' at one of Europe’s most promising early-stage companies, reporting into our Chief Commercial Officer & working alongside an experienced team who have done this before & worked with the best investors and teams out there
- You’ll be the engine for our Benelux revenue growth, learning how to take a product to market and scale to $millions in ARR by actually doing it
- You’ll navigate complex sales cycles with the world’s leading mid-market and enterprise tech businesses (~300-8,000 employees), initially securing mid-five and then low-six figure deals
- You’ll build & manage our sales pipeline, close deals, and partner with our CEO on GTM strategy as we expand our ideal customer profile & find success in other sectors and geographies…hopefully, you’ll manage a geography/sector/team in the next 12 months
- You’ll help to create our sales processes as you build them, experimenting with different messaging & outbound strategies
- You’ll become the best person in the company at explaining & pitching the product
- You’ll have close relationships across product, engineering, and customer success, giving feedback gathered from the front line/speaking to prospective customers, allowing you to help steer our roadmap & experience first-hand how great products & great businesses are built
- You’ll work more broadly across the business than any other ‘normal’ sales role, stepping up to help with marketing, events, community, onboarding customers, and whatever else needs to be done
- You’ll network with CFOs & procurement leaders, attend events across Benelux, and become well-known in this space
- As we scale our GTM function, you’ll have an outsized impact on the business either bringing in the largest, most strategic customers or building out future teams as we expand globally. We operate as a meritocracy & there are no limits to your growth
Our take
The way businesses buy stuff is broken. Whether it's SaaS, hardware, or contractors, the average B2B purchase takes over 3 months, requires 50+ emails, and involves multiple different stakeholders. Which in turn, is slowing businesses down.
Omnea's platform handles the entire purchasing process: giving employees an easy place to make requests (Intake), managing the necessary approvals for the purchase to be made (Approvals Engine), and automating all renewals management and suppliers risk assessments. Giving both buyers, and finance and procurement leaders critical visibility into how, when, and why money is being spent.
Given the current markets increased focus on capital efficiency, there has never been a more vital time for businesses to use Omnea and get control of their spending.
