🏢 About RX-WATERTEC GmbH

RX-WATERTEC GmbH is pioneering sustainable urban water management with AI-driven solutions, helping cities become climate-resilient. As a remote-first company, they offer flexibility while tackling critical environmental challenges.

About This Role

This role combines strategic prospecting with hands-on automation, using modern GTM stacks like Clay and HubSpot to drive pipeline growth. You'll shape outreach strategies and directly impact revenue in a high-growth climate tech startup.

💡 A Day in the Life

Start by reviewing campaign analytics in HubSpot to adjust outreach sequences, then use Clay to enrich a new batch of leads from LinkedIn Sales Navigator. After a discovery call with a municipal prospect, you'll update pipeline stages and test a new AI-generated email template for the next day's outreach.

🎯 Who RX-WATERTEC GmbH Is Looking For

  • 2-5 years in B2B sales, SDR, or business development with proven success in structured prospecting and cold outreach.
  • Proficient in HubSpot, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and tools like Lemlist or Apollo; experience with Clay or similar automation platforms is a strong plus.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication in German and English, with a knack for personalized messaging.
  • Self-starter who thrives in a remote environment, with a tech-savvy mindset and interest in AI-powered sales processes.

3

Tailor your resume to highlight experience with HubSpot automation and LinkedIn Sales Navigator list building.

4

In your cover letter, mention a concrete idea for improving RX-WATERTEC's outreach to water utilities or municipal decision-makers.

5

Since it's 100% remote, emphasize your self-discipline and async communication skills with examples from past remote work.

  • Familiarize yourself with competitors in the smart water management space (e.g., Siemens, Xylem) to position RX-WATERTEC's edge.

3 How do you stay organized and self-motivated in a remote sales environment?
4 What's your experience with AI tools in sales? Give an example of how you've used AI for personalization or automation.
