Freelance Sales & Outreach

About us

The Pending is a Berlin-based SaaS platform for the creative industry — built as a two-sided marketplace: for festivals, casting agencies, and agencies, we offer tools for rosters, talent databases, and application management. For artists, we offer a supportive ecosystem (job matching, task & client management, portfolio, and visibility), free at the base level. We're looking for support in Sales & Outreach — on both sides, this means targeted outreach: directly to institutions on the B2B side, and to potential partners (e.g. schools, brands) on the artist side. Ideally with a background in Marketing, Cultural Entrepreneurship, or Arts.

What you'll do

• Direct outreach to relevant institutions (culture, events, casting, creative industry) — focused on the DACH region, in German — we'll provide you with a contact list as a starting point and kickoff base, though you're not strictly bound to it
• Personalized outreach emails based on our templates and cases — no pure copy-paste, at least 1–2 individual points of reference per institution
• Documenting every email (institution, recipient, status) in our shared tracking sheet
• Forwarding replies with demo interest directly to us — we personally handle demo scheduling
• Independent research of additional contacts, in addition to a base list we provide

What you bring

• A degree or background in Marketing, Cultural Entrepreneurship, Arts Management, or related fields
• Enjoyment of writing and direct communication with institutions
• Fluent German, English is a plus
• Independent, reliable way of working — you organize your own time
• Ideally, an understanding of or connection to the creative/cultural scene

Terms

• €0.90 per personalized outreach email sent
• + €0.20 bonus as soon as a lead replies and shows interest in a demo
• + 20% of the subscription value on closed deals for Professional or Yearly plans
• Target: min. 50, max. 150 emails/week — your pace, your schedule
• Freelance basis (invoicing)
• Every 4 weeks you'll get an overview of your leads, demos, and closed deals

At maximum volume (150 emails/week), your earnings from base pay alone come to €135.00 per week, or €540.00 per month (4 weeks) — demo bonuses and the 20% share on closed deals come on top of that.

Onboarding

• Kickoff call on the platform and product
• Your own email address for outreach
• Ready-made templates and cases as a starting point
• 2-week trial period (mutual — min. 40 emails expected during this time), ongoing support and exchange to optimize is welcome
