Shape the Future of IT with Advaun

From mobile and web apps to data science and embedded systems, we build tailored IT solutions that power growth. By joining us, you’ll help companies across Europe work smarter, faster, and with IT that truly supports their business.
Why This Role Is Right for You
This is not a routine sales job — it’s your chance to join a fast-moving startup where every deal you close shapes the future of the company. As our Sales Manager, you’ll bring in new B2B customers, represent us at industrial exhibitions, and help businesses find the IT solutions they really need.

What Makes You a Great Fit
- At least 1 year of experience in B2B sales, with cold calling preferred.
- Knowledge of IT or related industries (automotive, marine, or other technical fields).
- Fluent in Finnish and English; other European languages (French, Spanish, Swedish, etc.) are a plus.
- Resilient and resourceful — ready to keep pushing even when the first answer is “no.”
- Motivated to learn and grow — we value potential and drive as much as experience.
What’s in It for You
- Base salary + attactive sales commission directly linked to your results.
- Modern tech equipment and digital tools.
- A creative workplace in Wonderland Leppävaara, Espoo.
- Real career growth in a company that’s scaling fast.
- Weekly yoga, Monday breakfast, unlimited coffee and tea.
- A fun and ambitious team that enjoys boat tours, pub nights, escape rooms, pikkujoulu, and more.
- Even if you don't tick all boxes, your passion and ambition for success will still make you stand out.
