  • Multi-stakeholder management: You systematically map all relevant decision-makers in complex buying centers, identify their differing interests, and lead asset management, property management, technical teams, IT and C-level stakeholders in a structured way to close contracts.
  • Business case development: You develop convincing, data-driven ROI calculations and business cases to quantify the economic value of the aedifion platform for real estate portfolios and persuade decision-makers.
  • Objection handling and negotiation: You proactively anticipate concerns about budget, integration and profitability, address them with well-founded arguments and develop win-win solutions in commercial negotiations.
  • Pipeline and forecast management: You qualify opportunities against objective criteria, document all deal-relevant information accurately in the CRM and deliver reliable revenue forecasts for predictable business development.
  • Cross-functional collaboration: You work closely with Pre-Sales and Marketing, develop technically compelling solution concepts and continuously optimize lead quality.
  • Market development: In the institutional real estate market, you systematically build relationships, proactively identify new opportunities in the DACH region (and potentially other markets) and continuously unlock additional revenue potential.

Requirements

  • Sales experience: Solid experience in B2B enterprise sales, ideally in the SaaS or PropTech space, with a proven track record of closing complex asset-management deals.
  • Industry knowledge: A thorough understanding of the real estate industry, asset management or related sectors such as PropTech, facility management or energy management, including familiarity with relevant business models, KPIs and decision-making processes.
  • Sales methodology: Strong expertise in stakeholder mapping, value selling, business case development, objection handling and structured opportunity qualification, enabling you to successfully manage complex sales processes.
  • Communication skills: You communicate persuasively at all levels—from operational contacts to C-level—present complex topics clearly and align differing stakeholder interests successfully.
  • Working style: You are structured, self-driven and results-oriented, with strong analytical thinking, negotiation skills and the ability to stay focused and resilient in the face of setbacks.
  • Tools and languages: You are proficient in CRM systems (Salesforce, HubSpot or Pipedrive) and have fluent German (C2) and advanced English (C1) for effective international communication.
