Sales Manager at lector.ai (m/f/d)

As a Sales Manager, you win new customers for lector.ai. You connect companies and public-sector organizations with our AI platform for document processing – from the first conversation to the signed contract. You identify and qualify potential customers – especially in insurance, statutory health insurance, financial services and public administration – and build your own pipeline. You approach decision-makers in business units, IT and procurement – by phone, on LinkedIn, at events and through our partner network.

You analyze your customers’ document processes, present the lector.ai platform – on-site or via video call – and show with a clear business case what AI can do for them. You own the entire sales process: from discovery and proof of concept to proposal, negotiation and closing. You contribute to public tenders and create compelling proposals together with our project and tech teams. You keep pipeline and forecast up to date in HubSpot and work towards clear targets for new business and recurring license revenue.

You hand over won customers to Customer Success and the project team and channel market feedback into the product team. You represent lector.ai at AI events and trade fairs and develop campaigns for new customer acquisition together with Marketing.
