About Lun

Our carbon emissions are still increasing, and the evidence for dramatic climate change is all around. We want to do our part in solving it.

In Europe, 12% of our carbon emissions come from heating our homes - just as much as using our cars. Getting those emissions to zero will be a gargantuan task: retrofitting 90 million buildings across many countries is a hard problem.

Lun’s mission is to decarbonise homes faster, by building an operating system for tradespeople in the European energy renovation industry. Our first task is to make heat pump installations an absolute no-brainer for plumbers and electricians.

We've secured a robust funding of 11M€ from high-caliber investors, including the likes of Lowercarbon, Norrsken VC, Partech, Foundamental, and MCJ Collective, in order to very rapidly accelerate building retrofits across Europe.

About the role

Lun is expanding to Germany, one of Europe’s biggest and fastest growing heat pump markets. We’re looking for our first German-speaking sales hire to help us launch and drive revenue growth in the new market. In this role, you will have high autonomy, and will be sharply focused on making Lun succeed in Germany as quickly as possible.

This is a sales-focused role for a driven self-starter who can build relationships, close deals and achieve sales targets in a new market, as well as contributing to areas such as Customer Success and Product.

This position can be based in Lun’s HQ office in Copenhagen or remote anywhere in Germany. You will report to our Market Development Director based in Copenhagen.

What you will do

The overarching objective of this role is to grow Lun’s product in Germany with active installers by early 2024, and achieve a sizable share of the heat pump installer market in Germany by the end of 2024.

You will operate with a high level of autonomy to get us there. Your specific responsibilities will include but are not limited to:

• Being the first point of contact with installer customers in Germany.
• Creating a commercial playbook for Germany based on both Lun’s learnings in Denmark and localization needs.
• Leading Lun’s go-to-market motion in Germany including lead generation and qualification, prospecting, demos and pipeline management.
• Growing our customer base in Germany to become the market leader.
• Facilitating a seamless onboarding process for new customers, and helping resolve customer concerns or issues, coordinating with internal teams.
