About Cozero

Cozero is an enterprise carbon management platform helping manufacturers, logistics companies, and retailers turn scattered emissions data into business decisions: carbon accounting, reduction planning, and audit-ready ESG reporting in one place.

We are evolving fast. Our next chapter moves beyond carbon accounting into financial decision-making, connecting emissions data directly to cost and investment decisions, with the CFO as a key stakeholder.

60+ enterprise customers. Series A funded. Growing.

For this role you need fluent German and English (C1).

About the Role

You have advised DACH enterprises on sustainability, ESG or climate strategy inside a Big Four or comparable consultancy. You know how a Mittelstand Geschäftsführer thinks about cost, risk and compliance. You have watched clients buy software, or fail to.

At Cozero you carry that credibility into a revenue role. You own enterprise opportunities across the full cycle: discovery, solution shaping, commercial negotiation, close. You work directly with Helen, our CEO, on the largest accounts.

The difference to consulting: your recommendation ships as a signed contract, and you see the customer implement it.

What You’ll Do

• Own enterprise sales opportunities from discovery to close, with revenue responsibility.
• Lead solution-oriented conversations with sustainability leads, CFOs and Geschäftsführer, in German.
• Translate complex customer situations (Scope 3, CSRD, supplier data, cost allocation) into a concrete Cozero solution and business case.
• Shape proposals, pricing and negotiation strategy together with CEO.
• Feed structured market and customer insight back into product and go-to-market.

Must-Haves:

• 3 - 6 years of professional experience at PwC, Deloitte, EY, KPMG or a comparable consultancy, with meaningful time in sustainability, ESG, climate or adjacent practices.
• Direct exposure to DACH enterprise clients at senior level.
• Genuine motivation to carry revenue responsibility. This is a sales role with targets, and we will ask why you want that.
• Working knowledge of carbon accounting, CSRD or corporate climate strategy, credible from day one.
• Business judgment: you can build and defend a business case in front of a CFO.
• Fluent German and English (C1+). Customer meetings run in German.

What Success Looks Like:

• Within 6 months you run enterprise opportunities independently and Helen joins only where she adds leverage.
• Prospects treat you as an expert first and a salesperson second, and buy for that reason.
• Your win-loss insight visibly sharpens how Cozero pitches and prices.

Why Join Cozero?

• From advice to outcome: your work ends in implemented decarbonisation, measured in tonnes, and in revenue you can point to.
• Founder proximity: you sell alongside Helen, with direct influence on strategy.
• Right timing: Series A funded, enterprise customers, a product moving into financial decision-making.

This is a hybrid role based in Berlin. Our commercial team typically works from the Berlin office 2–4 days per week.

You’ll also receive:

• VSOP (Virtual Stock Options) - share in Cozero's success
• Regular team events every year
