About Yasu:
Yasu is an AI-powered cloud cost optimization platform that prevents waste before it happens. We're building the autonomous cloud engineer that helps companies cut cloud costs by 30%+ through shift-left prevention and multi-agent AI precision.
The problem is massive: €512B is wasted annually on cloud costs, and it's only getting worse with GenAI driving explosive growth. Current tools are reactive dashboards that show problems after the money is already spent. Yasu is different, our AI agents catch cost issues in development (10x cheaper to fix) and autonomously optimize infrastructure in real-time.
Since launch, we've been growing rapidly with 300% month-over-month growth in cloud spend under management. We're hitting the market right when AI and cloud costs are becoming CXO-level conversations within organizations.
Our founding team brings deep expertise: an ex-AWS sales leader who has taken multiple teams from 0 to $100M in revenue, and an expert AI architect who's built and shipped complex AI systems from 0 to production 3x. We are backed by some of the leading VCs

Tasks
What You'll Actually Do
- Own the full sales cycle end-to-end - you build the pipeline, run discovery, build relationships, and close the deal. No handoffs.
- Get out there - events, LinkedIn, cold outreach, warm intros. You suggest the coffee, not wait to be invited.
- Run and qualify discovery calls against Yasu's ICP: mid-market tech companies in Benelux with cloud spend of €25K or more per month
- Co-sell with the CEO in the first phase, learn the story fast, then own it independently
- Build/improve the GTM motion as you go - hubspot/AI GTM Engineer/Apollo. You update it based on what works in the market
- Feed what you hear back into messaging, positioning and ICP - you are our best source of market intelligence
- Hit ARR targets - not activity metrics. We care about revenue, not calls made or emails sent

The Anti-Pitch
We're not for everyone.
- If you need a perfect sales process already laid out, you'll hate it here
- If you want work-life balance, join after our Series B
- If you prefer meetings over results, we're not a fit
- If you're waiting for someone to tell you what to do, this isn't the role
