⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Failing to demonstrate genuine interest in climate tech – this is not a typical SaaS role; mission alignment matters.
  • Being too generic about your sales process without tying it to inbound, high-qualified leads and complex B2B cycles.
  • Overlooking language requirements: ensure your German is flawless and your English is clearly C1 level in your application.
