Sales Executive

Job opening

At Tulip Tech, we’re building the batteries that power the future of drones and electric aviation. Our mission is clear: in the next five years, we want to produce and sell 100,000 batteries a year.

To get there, we need more than great technology — we need to grow our customer base fast. That is why we’re looking for a Sales Executive who’s equally hungry as our team.

  • Salary:
    €3000 – €4000 p/m (based on experience)
  • Contract:
    Full-time (40 hours/week)
  • Location:
    Den Bosch, The Netherlands

Build the foundation. Shape the future.

An inspiring team

We’re a fast-moving startup building next-generation battery systems for drones and electric aircraft. At Tulip Tech, you won’t just follow a test plan — you’ll write the playbook. We’re a small, hands-on team that values smart thinking, building fast, and doing things right.

Help us power the future of transportation with batteries that fly.

You don’t “manage accounts.” You hunt, win, and grow them.

Before You Hit “Apply”

This isn’t a pure account management role. You won’t get a ready-made customer base or warm leads. You’ll research markets, hunt prospects, build relationships, and close deals yourself. Expect a lot of no’s before the yes — and the satisfaction of winning business you created from scratch. If you’re driven, social, and excited to own the entire sales process in a young, ambitious team, we want you!

We move fast, work together closely, and give people room to take initiative. If that excites you more than it scares you, keep reading.

Your new office

Den Bosch area

In 2020, Tulip Tech was founded by Bernd Rietberg and Olivier Witteman. Their goal? To make high quality battery systems to enable the drone revolution and sustainable passenger e-flight revolution. 

Following up from their project of building a passenger drone, they concluded that safe and high energy density battery systems are essential in aviation and robotics. Simultaneously, their partner network grew and this enabled them to leap further than before. 

Over the years, the team has grown and gained valuable experience in R&D and production.
