Role
Who you are
- You don't need years of sales experience but you should already know what outbound and cold calling feel like, and be ready to sharpen that into a real skill
- First hands-on exposure to sales, outbound, or cold calling — internship, working student, or early full-time experience all count
- A structured, logical thinker who connects the dots from A to B
- Genuine comfort on the phone - you've made cold calls before and know what it takes to get past the first thirty seconds
- Strong self-motivation and the drive to generate business rather than wait for it
- Some exposure to SaaS, tech, or product environments, ideally fast-moving or disruptive ones
- Native-level German and strong English
What the job involves
- At Circus, we're building physical AI robotics that produce food autonomously and our sales pipeline is how that technology reaches the market
- As Junior Sales Manager, you'll be the first point of contact for new prospects: opening conversations, qualifying interest, and building pipeline across sectors that haven't worked with autonomous food robotics before
- Our products connect naturally, so you'll learn to represent the full portfolio, not a single pitch. As you build track record, you'll take on more ownership and start running deals end-to-end
- Build and own a structured outbound pipeline across our full product portfolio
- Open first conversations with prospects, qualify interest, and move opportunities forward
- Develop sector-specific outreach rather than a one-size-fits-all pitch
- Represent our full portfolio and spot cross-sell and upsell opportunities as they emerge
- Keep your funnel and outreach activity accurately tracked and current
- Partner with our Leadership Team to prioritize target accounts and take on greater ownership over time
Our take
Initially supplying a delivery app for micro kitchens, Circus Group now develops AI-powered autonomous robots for kitchens. The idea is to support the cooking of low-cost, high-quality cuisine while reducing food waste, overhead costs and cooking times.
Founded in Munich, the company has invested in expansion to other German cities - and also into Beijing where it installed over 5000 autonomous kitchen robots in educational institutions.
It continues to secure lucrative partnerships such as with Mercedes-Benz Gastronomie, as well as acquiring the global patent portfolio of a US-based AI robotics company. This sets the company up well to become a real disruptor in the space, and to build on its successes so far.
