The Company: Why mute-labs?
At mute-labs, we don’t do "VC-driven burnout" or toxic sales floors. We are a self-funded, sustainable team on a mission to bring quiet to the world’s loudest offices. We design and build high-quality acoustic booths that actually make sense for the modern workplace.
We don't just sell "booths", we sell focus and office sanity. We are looking for a Business Development Manager for the Italian market who wants to own the entire journey, from the first "hello" to the final handshake.
The Role: Relationship-Driven Sales, Not Just Lead Handling
You aren't here to follow a script. You are here to help companies in Italy design better workspaces while building long-term relationships with clients and partners.

The Role: Relationship-Driven Sales, Not Just Lead Handling
You aren't here to follow a script. You are here to help companies in Italy design better workspaces while building long-term relationships with clients and partners.
- Fresh Inbound Leads : Forget "smiling and dialing" into the void. You’ll be the first point of contact for high-quality inbound leads, people who are already curious about what we do.
- Outbound & Pipeline Building : You’ll also proactively identify and approach key decision-makers (Facility Managers, HR Leads, Founders, Architects), building a strong pipeline through smart outbound prospecting and relationship-building.
- End-to-End Ownership : You’ll lead discovery calls, perform demos, manage showroom visits, negotiate offers, and close deals. You get the satisfaction of seeing your work turn into real projects inside clients’ offices.
- Account Development : Beyond closing deals, you’ll nurture long-term relationships with strategic clients and partners in the Italian market, helping grow repeat business and referrals.
A Day in the Life
We are an office-first culture. We believe the best sales strategies happen over a shared coffee, not a Slack thread.
- 09:00 | Morning Vibe : Walk into our high-energy office in Berlin Mitte. Grab a coffee, check the latest leads, and map out your day.
- 09:30 | The Action Phase : You’re on the phone or video, consulting inbound leads, reaching out to new prospects, and booking demos.
- 11:00 | Strategy Huddle : A quick catch-up with the commercial team to discuss deals, outbound opportunities, and market insights from Italy.
- 12:30 | The Big Table : On Fridays, we eat together. One team cooks for the entire company. Whether it's pasta, tacos, or a local favorite, we bond over food.
- 14:30 | Market Mastery : You lead discovery demos and customer conversations. You’re listening more than talking, identifying the "pain points" of a noisy office and building trusted relationships.
- 18:00 | The Close : Wrap up the CRM, update your pipeline, and head out. We respect your "offline" time.
Pulse & Pints Friday
Every Friday, we close the week together.
- The Pulse : A team huddle to review the numbers, share company updates, and celebrate the people who went the extra mile.
- The Pints : We transition into the weekend with drinks (alcoholic or 0.0%) and a sense of collective achievement.
Our Hiring Process: Fast & Transparent
We know you’re talented, so we won’t keep you waiting.
