About us

PowerData Dynamics is a German Microsoft boutique: Fabric, Power BI, Power Platform and Dynamics 365, delivered to mid-market companies by senior people. We also build our own products on the Microsoft stack (MeetConvert, SalesGuard). We are small on purpose, and we are opening the Netherlands and the Nordics next.

The role

You are the first salesperson in the territory. There is no playbook; you write it with the founder. If you are selling generic development hours against forty identical agencies today, this is the specialised story you have been missing. We expect what an owner brings: you treat the pipeline as your business, you say plainly what is not working, and you build for the long run. The pay and the growth path below are built for that person.

What you sell

Packaged Microsoft consulting with fixed scope and fixed prices:

• Discovery Sprint (1–2 weeks) — the first sale; ends in a fixed quote for the build.
• Implementation Build (4–10 weeks) — Fabric, Power BI, Power Platform, Dynamics 365.
• Managed Support — a monthly block of senior hours.

Projects run €5k–45k plus retainers. Buyers: IT directors, heads of data/BI and business applications, CFOs at companies of 100–5,000 people. Netherlands first, then Sweden, then the rest of the Nordics. English throughout.

What you do

• Build the territory list with the founder from hiring signals, partner networks and our research method.
• Open conversations in writing and by video; run first and second meetings; bring the founder in to scope and close.
• Work the regional Microsoft partner ecosystem for referred work.
• Keep an honest pipeline in Dynamics 365 Sales and tell us when the positioning is not landing.

No cold-call factories, no scripts. Dutch and Nordic buyers are direct, punctual and allergic to pressure; they buy from people who ask good questions. Fully remote, no travel: client visits are handled by the founder.

Who you are

• 3+ years selling IT services (consulting, nearshore, managed services) to Western Europe. You have closed €30k+ deals yourself and can walk us through two.
• Strong business English (we check it on the first video call). Dutch or a Nordic language is a plus, not a requirement.
• Microsoft knowledge, or the curiosity to build it in month one. You will not configure anything; you will talk to people who do.
• Self-managing. Only salesperson, direct line to the founder, nobody in between.

What we offer

Pay, in writing before you sign

• Base $1,700–3,000/month on a freelance basis, invoiced monthly. Base review at month 3–6 for the right person.
• 10% of first-year revenue on deals you source and close, 5% on founder-sourced deals you run. Uncapped. Steps up to 12% / 7% in any quarter above target.
• €1,000 when you close your first package inside the 90-day trial.
• Worked example: 2 Sprints, 1 Build, 1 Managed Support start in a quarter (≈ €45–50k revenue) ≈ €4.5–5k commission on top of base. Realistic first-year OTE €45–60k.

Contract. This is a freelance engagement, not employment. You invoice PowerData Dynamics monthly as an independent contractor (FOP or the equivalent in your country) and remain responsible for your own taxes and social contributions; there is no payroll. For the right person, we are open to converting the engagement into a permanent position once the territory is established.

Learning and tools. A structured first month inside live Discovery Sprints and delivery calls; we pay for the latest Microsoft certifications relevant for sellers, plus study time. You get Dynamics 365 Sales with Copilot for Sales, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, a GDPR-compliant contact database, our own MeetConvert, and the latest frontier AI models from Anthropic (Claude) and Microsoft (Copilot) to find clients, research accounts and draft documents. Anything else that earns its cost, we buy.

Time off. 30 days paid holiday plus all Ukrainian public holidays; base continues while you are off.

90-day trial, one goal, agreed on day one: 12 qualified first meetings, 1 Discovery Sprint closed, 1 in proposal.

Growth path, in the contract

1. Month 12, targets met: Head of Netherlands & Nordics, budget to hire your first team member, 3% override on team revenue.
2. You and at least one hire at target for two consecutive quarters: 10% of the territory's profit, paid quarterly, on top of commission and override.

How to apply

No cover letter. Send a CV plus five sentences on one deal you closed: who the client was, what they bought, how it started, how long it took, what you would do differently. Every application with those five sentences gets a reply.
