Founding GTM Engineer

BerlinFull TimePosted Sep 8, 2026

About the Role

This is a founding GTM role at an early-stage healthtech startup building AI-powered tools for veterinary practices. You will be the first sales hire, working directly alongside the founding team to build the go-to-market engine from scratch, with a clear path toward an Account Executive position.

What You'll Do

  • Independently prospect and close veterinary practices across the full sales cycle, from target identification through deal closure.

  • Develop and continuously refine outreach strategies across email, LinkedIn, phone, and in-person events.

  • Build and maintain strong customer relationships focused on retention, upsells, and referrals.

  • Own the CRM from day one, maintaining clean pipelines, reliable data, and clear reporting.

  • Run structured A/B tests to identify the most effective channels, segments, and messaging.

  • Feed market and customer feedback directly to the product and founding team.

  • Contribute to hiring, training, and onboarding future sales team members.

What We're Looking For

  • 2 or more years in sales, business development, or GTM roles with direct responsibility for pipeline generation and closing deals.

  • Demonstrated full-cycle B2B sales experience: prospecting, qualification, negotiation, and closing; B2B SaaS or enterprise software background preferred.

  • Proficiency with CRM systems such as Salesforce, HubSpot, or Pipedrive, including pipeline management, data hygiene, and reporting.

  • Experience executing multi-channel outreach: email campaigns, LinkedIn prospecting, cold calling, and event-based sales.

  • Experience designing and running A/B tests on sales messaging, channels, and targeting.

  • Experience managing post-sale customer relationships, including retention, upsell identification, and product feedback loops.

  • Ability to build and document sales processes and playbooks from an early stage.

  • Entrepreneurial, ownership-oriented mindset comfortable operating without established processes.

  • Nice to have: experience selling into healthcare, veterinary, or regulated professional services environments.

  • Nice to have: experience with sales analytics tools such as Tableau or Looker.

  • Nice to have: prior experience at seed-to-Series A startups with exposure to founder-led sales.
