Sales Intern (Italian)

‍♀️ What we do ‍♀️

At Emidat, we are building the first climate-native product management system for building material manufacturers. We aim to decarbonise building materials, making up 11% of global GHG emissions. We collect data from physical production processes, generate a digital product passport with verified environmental data and make it usable along the value chain. In short: One solution to assess, design, buy, sell and manage products - with environmental impact at the core.

With this, we are building the digital infrastructure to make it faster, easier, and more sustainable to build the world around us.

What you will work on

Your mission

Accelerate Emidat’s growth by acquiring new leads, being Emidat’s first face to the customer and building our predictable, repeatable revenue engine. Work closely with the Sales Development Rep and Account Executive on the go-to-market plan for the country.

As our Sales Intern (Italian) , you will be driving our revenue pipeline focussing on the Italian market. In this role, you are the first face and voice to our customer, so this role is perfect if you love being around people and have a talent for convincing, understanding and solving their problems.

At Emidat, we see top-of-funnel as equally important if not more so than closing deals. Without leads, there is no revenue. We are searching for a hungry sales person, who is not scared of approaching people actively and being the face of Emidat. Your customers are manufacturers, so you shouldn’t be shy and bring a curiosity for material manufacturing and construction (note: we think visiting steel, cement and glass plants is the coolest thing in the world next to customers holding their product into the Teams call to show us how it’s done) .

Your challenge:

Joining our sales development team involves:

• Customer Pipeline Development: Build and nurture our customer pipeline, from initial prospecting to booking a demo.

• Go-to-Market Strategy: Develop and fine-tune our go-to-market strategy, ensuring alignment with our company objectives.

• Revenue Engine: Build and improve our repeatable and predictable revenue engine.

• Team Building : Play a key role in building and growing the sales team leading us to 3mn ARR.
