About the Job
Description
Are you an experienced Sales Executive looking to make your mark in the rapidly growing electronics industry? Luminovo is gearing up for Series A funding, and after winning 100+ customers in Europe, we're expanding our sales team to conquer the US market.
As a Sales Executive, you own the full sales cycle: from generating your own pipeline and qualifying inbound leads to bringing them to the finish line. Our product managers will have your back for in-depth technical questions in the sales process, and you’ll hand over to our customer success team for customer onboarding.
Our product: Our software suite addresses engineering and procurement challenges in the trillion-dollar electronics idea-to-production value chain. For electronics OEMs, we provide a comprehensive solution that ensures design health and streamlines the supply chain, enabling them to design with confidence and source faster and smarter.
USA market focus: After closing our first customers in the US, we are now starting our go-to-market process to the US. Therefore, being located in the US with a willingness to travel, as well as a high proficiency in English is a must for this role. Being a native speaker and having a commercial or technical background in electronics is a huge plus.
Work setup: You will join our team remotely, working as a Freelancer from the US. On top of base salary and commission, we of course cover travel expenses for customer visits and sales fairs.

Skills, knowledge, and expertise
Just so you know – we purposefully did not create a standard list of minimum qualifications for this role.

If you're interested to find out more about why we banned requirements from our performance profiles – see here.
What we promise
