(Senior) Business Development Representative France (f/m/d)

About Zeit AI

Zeit AI builds ZeitMind, the autonomous data engineer for the European mid-market. We connect to the systems companies already run (ERP exports, CRM data, spreadsheets, internal databases) and put agents on top so operators get reliable answers without hiring a data team.

Founded by Marvin and Leopold (both ex-Palantir), YC S24, backed by Oxford Seed Fund and Sequoia Scout. Customers across manufacturing, agriculture, and aviation. Zero to €1M ARR in our first twelve months with six people, and doubling every six months.

What this role is

As our Business Development Representative for France, you'll open the French market with us: building our outbound engine there and turning it into real customer opportunities.

Cold calling is how we won our first customers, and it's still our strongest channel.

You'll be the first point of contact for prospects: identifying pain points, generating leads, and converting interest into real opportunities. Within weeks, you'll run your own discovery calls and define use cases directly with C-level prospects.

This role is a fast track into sales.

Outbound experience? You'll move to (Junior) AE in 3-6 months.

New to sales? Same path - your ramp speed sets the pace.

We invest in you with daily coaching, clear targets, uncapped upside. You won't be handed a list and left alone – we grow together.

What you will do

Outbound Execution: Run high-velocity outbound with cold calling as your primary channel, backed by email and LinkedIn cadences where they add value

Qualification: Assess real pain, urgency, budget, and the right stakeholders before booking a meeting

Discovery: Book qualified meetings, then increasingly run discovery calls and define use cases yourself

Pipeline Management: Keep HubSpot clean: accurate notes, stages, and funnel numbers you can defend

Continuous Improvement: Sharpen scripts, segments, messaging, and tooling every week to make the machine run better

Customer Relationships: Engage with prospects daily and build genuine relationships from the first call

You will thrive here if you

are motivated to build from the ground up and enjoy working hands-on

have excellent communication skills in French and English (German is a big plus)

enjoy talking to prospects, understanding their needs, and convincing them

enjoy working with targets

treat your pipeline like a product – always testing, always improving

A clearly defined ICP and a product that already generates revenue

Advance into an AE within a few months not years

Ambitious teammates who see their work as more than just a job
