• You treat CRM updates as part of the job, not an administrative afterthought, because you have seen what happens when the data goes stale

You have spent time in technical or industrial environments and learned that the best opportunities do not just appear, they get built through questions, curiosity, and persistence. You know how to read a LinkedIn profile and spot the person who actually makes decisions, not just the one with the fanciest title. You understand that a qualified lead is not someone who downloaded a whitepaper, it is someone who has a problem your product can solve and the budget to do something about it.

You are comfortable picking up the phone. Not to pitch, but to learn. You ask open questions, listen for what matters, and know when to pass something to sales versus when to keep nurturing. You do not need a perfect script, you need context, a value statement, and the judgment to adapt in real time.

Working in German and English comes naturally to you. You think in campaigns, not one-off emails. You care about data integrity because bad data means wasted time, and you have seen what happens when CRM becomes a junk drawer. At Synopsys, you will work with a field sales team that depends on the quality of what you send their way, and that accountability matters to you., * Bachelor’s degree in business, engineering, or a related field, or 4+ years in inside sales, sales development, or a presales role selling complex technical or industrial products
