Sales Associate

About the job

‍

Join our team in Leuven to help us build and scale our commercial engine from the ground up.

‍

We're looking for a driven and ambitious Sales Associate to join our CEO in taking Predikt to market. As our first sales hire, you'll be stepping into a founder-led sales motion and helping us professionalize and scale it, working side by side with our CEO to win and grow enterprise accounts. This isn't a role for someone who wants a polished playbook handed to them. It's for someone who is hungry, commercially sharp and excited by the idea of being at the very start of something big.

About Predikt

‍

Predikt is a dynamic Swiss-Belgian deeptech company at the forefront of innovation, developing cutting-edge AI-driven technology. We are an AI-driven cost & margin intelligence platform built for enterprise procurement and finance teams, providing unmatched visibility into external cost drivers and their impact on margins. We empower organizations to navigate market volatility, proactively manage risks, protect profitability and make confident, data-driven decisions. As an early-stage startup, we are fueled by a strong sense of mission and enthusiasm, striving to make cost intelligence accessible to every procurement and finance leader across the globe.

‍

At Predikt, we are defined by our core values and high ambitions. We are a company that champions integrity, innovation and excellence, creating an environment where everyone supports each other and works collaboratively towards common goals. Our customer-centric approach ensures we deliver exceptional value and service, while fostering a culture of mutual respect, open communication, and continuous improvement.

‍

Join us on this exciting journey as we transform the way procurement and finance teams understand and act on cost and create a future where volatility is no longer a threat, but a challenge every organization is equipped to face with confidence.

About the Role

‍

As Sales Associate at Predikt, you will work closely with our CEO to drive new business and grow existing accounts. You'll be involved across the full commercial cycle: from identifying and reaching out to prospects, to preparing and running sales conversations, to supporting deal closure and account expansion. You're equally comfortable hunting for new opportunities and farming existing relationships and you bring the energy and professionalism to represent Predikt credibly in front of enterprise decision-makers.

‍

Beyond individual deals, you'll help build the commercial foundation: structuring our HubSpot CRM, running outbound campaigns, leveraging AI tools to sharpen our prospecting and messaging and showing up at industry events to build Predikt's presence. As we are an early-stage startup, you'll need to be resourceful, proactive and willing to roll up your sleeves, while never losing sight of the bigger picture of what we're building together.

• Provide structured feedback from the market to inform product positioning, messaging, and roadmap priorities.

Requirements

‍

• 2-3 years of experience in B2B or enterprise sales, business development, or a similar commercially-facing role.
• Proven ability to engage and build relationships with senior stakeholders in enterprise organizations.
• Hands-on experience with HubSpot, or a strong appetite and demonstrated ability to learn new tools quickly.
• Comfortable running outbound campaigns and taking initiative on prospecting without waiting to be told what to do.
• Confident, polished communicator  in writing, in meetings and on stage at events.
• Familiarity with AI-powered sales tools, or genuine curiosity and enthusiasm to adopt them as part of your daily workflow.
• A hunter-farmer mentality: you're energized both by opening new doors and by deepening existing relationships.
• Motivated by being early: you understand what it means to join a startup at the ground floor and you see it as an opportunity, not a risk.
