The job

What you'd do

Help sales teams win big deals by running product demos, writing technical proposals, and building custom trial projects that show how the software links to a client's systems. Fluent German is required.

What you'd sell

Software that keeps company data use within privacy laws

When a company has to follow privacy laws for the data it collects, it usually tracks the rules across legal, security, and other teams. The problem is, new laws and AI tools keep changing what safe use means, so it's easy to fall behind. OneTrust puts the rules, checks, and paperwork in one app, so companies can use data and AI without trouble.

Questions to ask on the first call

Built from what this posting leaves out. How they answer tells you as much as what they say.

1.
This role has been open a while. What's made it hard to fill?
The answer tells you what candidates saw that made them walk.
2.
What percentage of fully ramped reps hit quota last year?
OTE is what you could earn. This is how likely you are to earn it.
3.
What are the base and the OTE for this role?
No point investing hours before you know the number.
4.
What's the annual quota, and how was it set?
A quota built from real data is a target. Otherwise it's a hope.
5.
Where does pipeline come from: inbound, SDRs, or me?
Tells you how much of your week is prospecting versus selling.
6.
Why is this role open? Did someone leave, or is it new?
New headcount is growth. A replacement means someone left. Ask why.

› When the offer comes

Save these for later. They land better once they've said yes to you.

1.
Can I see the full comp plan in writing, including clawbacks and accelerators?
What's in writing is what gets paid. Read it before you sign.
2.
Can I see the actual comp distribution for the team last year, not just the OTE?
The spread shows what most reps really take home. OTE is just the target.
3.
I'd be walking away from earned commission to join. Is there room for a sign-on bonus to help cover that?
Leaving money behind is a fair reason to ask. The worst answer is no.
