YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
THE WHAT
You own the sales of our portfolio COPVs across the European space market. You build pipelines from scratch, create opportunities through outbound prospecting, and run the entire sales cycle from first contact to signed contract. There are no handoffs. You are responsible for finding customers, building relationships, and closing deals.
THE WHY
We build carbon-fiber pressure vessels that go into orbit. You'll build the pipeline that gets them there.
This is a pure hunting role. You own the full sales cycle from start to finish and are measured by pipeline created, deals closed, and revenue generated. As Blackwave scales across the European space market, we need someone who enjoys the process of sales itself and is driven to win new business every week.
