- C1 or C2 German proficiency and confidence communicating with buyers in German.
- Experience managing sales cycles from qualification to close, and running structured discovery and demos.
- Experience engaging SMB decision-makers and translating technical or compliance topics into business value.

- Exposure to cybersecurity, compliance, information security, risk, or GRC is helpful, along with a coachable, execution-focused approach.
