Sales Manager (m/f/d)

Reliable data is the foundation for decisions that truly matter. At Validatis GmbH, one of the most innovative companies in AI & FinTech, we build exactly that: solutions that make banks, insurers, auditors, and FinTechs smarter. Every day. With substance. No bullshit. We think like a start-up and act with the strength of a large group: As part of the DuMont Group, we benefit from a strong network and genuine stability – without losing our innovative spirit.

We are a team with real drive – passionate about innovative products, tangible impact, and people who do not wait for someone else to win the business.

You too? Then read on!

Are you good at …

Making deals? You take ownership of new-customer acquisition in the B2B space and bring our data-driven solutions – from KYC and Data Solutions to Business Intelligence – to the companies that need them. Finance, insurance, FinTech, start-ups: your playing field.

Building relationships? You build customer relationships – not through cold-calling bingo, but through genuine consulting and tailored solution proposals that move your customers forward.

Thinking things through? You manage the entire sales process, from preparing proposals and negotiating to closing deals. In a structured, documented way, always keeping the big picture in mind. Your CRM system is your best friend.

Thriving as part of a team? You work closely with Product Development, Marketing, and the entire sales team. No one makes decisions alone here – and that is a good thing.

What you bring

• Several years of professional experience and a proven track record in B2B sales – ideally in SaaS or data
• Enthusiasm for digital products, data, and new technologies
• Experience in finance, insurance, FinTech, regulation, or business information? Great – but not required
• A strong affinity for CRM systems and a general love of digital tools
• Strong communication skills in German and English
• Initiative – you do not wait for leads; you create them, and we will take care of the rest.

What you get with us

Flexibility that actually means flexibility. Mobile office and flexible working hours – whatever fits your life. Not just on paper.

Room to grow. Plenty of room to shape things, flat hierarchies, personal development, and professional exchange – here, you can really make a difference.

A culture that is not just for show. Open communication, short lines of communication, and collaboration as equals. We do not just say we are a great team – we are one.

Food & mobility. Fresh canteen, barista bar, job ticket, JobRad, bicycle parking, and parking spaces. The commute and your lunch break should be worthwhile.

Health. Occupational physician, health initiatives, Urban Sports Club, and Wellhub – because a good salary alone is not enough.

Retirement planning. We help you plan for tomorrow – with a contribution to your company pension scheme.

Events & exchange. Regular events within the DuMont Group, team events, and everything that brings us together as a team. We celebrate successes – together.

Corporate benefits. Attractive discounts with numerous partners. Because you should treat yourself from time to time.

Here is how it starts

Send us your application – no cover letter that you have overthought three times. Show us who you are and what you can do. We will get back to you quickly. Promise.

Then: a short digital introduction → a personal interview in Cologne → together, we will find out whether we are a good fit.

People matter to us. Regardless of your background, gender, age, or personal characteristics. We look forward to meeting you – just as you are.
