Role overview
SignalsAPI is an AI-powered lead generation and business intelligence platform that monitors hundreds of web sources, including job boards, company news, funding announcements, and hiring activity, to identify companies showing buying or expansion signals. It helps users find and qualify prospects in real time by surfacing intent-based signals and exporting leads for outreach, with a focus on staffing and IT service use cases.
What you will do
- Identify and engage owners and Geschäftsführer of recruitment firms (5-100 people) in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland who prioritize aggressive business development.
- Design and execute a repeatable, scalable lead generation engine using time-intensive channels such as outbound outreach, LinkedIn/XING engagement, and industry partnerships.
- Transition the DACH market from initial signal delivery to a high-growth SaaS model, taking full ownership of the 90-day growth targets and customer acquisition strategy.
Who this is a fit for
- Native-level German speaker with deep domain expertise in the German recruitment market, having previously worked in, owned, or sold to Personalberatungen.
- Proven track record in business development (Akquise) and an intimate understanding of where industry leaders congregate, including BDU, GVP, and specific social circles.
- Entrepreneurial mindset with the financial runway to operate on a 30% revenue-share basis for 90 days in exchange for significant future equity and founder status.
Why this role is remarkable
- Join a bootstrapped, profitable startup with 23% demo-to-customer conversion rates and a live product already tracking millions of hiring signals monthly across seven regions.
- True founder-track opportunity where high performance in the first 90 days leads directly to equity ownership and a core leadership role in the company.
- Complete autonomy to build the marketing function from zero, focusing on high-impact channels like community and partnerships without the constraints of a traditional corporate budget.
