Senior Sales Manager

Think-it is a software engineering collective on a mission to leverage technology to regenerate our planet and advance human potential. Our global team helps organizations around the world build digital solutions for a sustainable future.
With a focus on climate tech, health tech and new frontier technologies, we tackle pressing problems together with some of the world’s most innovative teams. Our collective includes experts in DevOps and Cloud, Data Science and Data Engineering, and Web and Mobile Development. Founded in 2017, Think-it is home to a diverse community of changemakers — we represent 10+ nationalities, and 40% of us are women. We’re proud to be backed by mission-aligned partners, and our goals are people- and planet-centric.

Over the last five years we’ve been able to build a solid customer base of start-ups, scale-ups, and corporates. In the next three years we want to become the go-to-partner for teams working on solutions for a sustainable future. Therefore, we would like to further grow our customer base and presence within verticals such as climate and health tech as well as new frontier technologies. For this endeavor, we’re looking for a charismatic, thoughtful, and autonomous business development professional to work alongside our founders and the Head of Growth to develop new partnership opportunities.
