Head of Inhouse Sales Germany (m/w/d)

ABOUT THE ROLE - Deutsche version - Die CODE University of Applied Sciences ist eine private, staatlich anerkannte Hochschule in Berlin, die die digitalen Pioniere von morgen ausbildet. Seit ihrer Gründung im Jahr 2017 gilt CODE als eine der innovativsten Hochschulen Europas. Studierende lernen, indem sie echte Produkte in interdisziplinären Teams entwickeln – nicht durch klassische Vorlesungen. Unsere Community aus über 70 Nationen verwandelt Leidenschaft für Technologie, Design und Entrepreneurship in reale Wirkung. Tief in der deutschen Start-up-Szene verwurzelt, wird CODE von führenden Gründer:innen und Investor:innen unterstützt. MISSION Verantwortung für die Studierendengewinnung, die Studiengebühreneinnahmen und die Marktnachfrage der CODE University. Zielerreichung innerhalb eines definierten Budgets, Aufbau eines skalierbaren Teams und operative Führung als praxisorientierte Wachstumsleitung – mit direkter Steuerung des Performance Marketings, Optimierung des Admissions-Funnels und Integration von KI in alle Bereiche der Revenue-Funktion. HAUPTVERANTWORTLICHKEITEN * Gesamtverantwortung für die Erreichung der Studierendengewinnungs- und Studiengebührenziele innerhalb des vereinbarten Budgets. Übersetzung der Wachstumsziele der Hochschule in einen vierteljährlichen Operationsplan, Allokation des Budgets über Kanäle und Funnel-Stufen hinweg sowie transparente Berichterstattung über Fortschritte, Risiken und Korrekturmaßnahmen. * Führung und Ausbau des Marketing- und Admissions-Teams – derzeit drei bis fünf Personen – einschließlich der Teamleitung Admissions. Definition von Rollen, hohe Ansprüche bei der Personalauswahl, klare Leistungserwartungen und Aufbau einer Arbeitskultur, in der datengetriebenes Denken und schnelle Umsetzung selbstverständlich sind. * Ausbau der Analytics-Fähigkeiten von CODE, sodass Revenue-Entscheidungen auf Basis sauberer, verlässlicher Daten getroffen werden. Vorantreiben des Aufbaus von Data Warehouse, Web-Tracking und CRM-Instrumentierung; Definition der Dashboards und Kennzahlen, an denen sich Team und Vorstand orientieren; Aufbereitung der Daten zu einem wöchentlichen Lagebild darüber, was funktioniert und was nicht. * Enge Zusammenarbeit mit der Teamleitung Admissions zur kontinuierlichen Optimierung des CRM und des gesamten Sales-Prozesses – von der Lead-Erfassung über Bewerbung, Interview und Entscheidung bis zur Einschreibung. Steigerung der Conversion auf jeder Stufe, Verkürzung der Durchlaufzeiten und Etablierung von Feedback-Schleifen zwischen Marketing-Kanälen und Funnel-Performance. * Kommunikation mit Vorstandsmitgliedern und anderen Führungskräften zu Revenue-Performance, Pipeline-Status, Kanal-Effizienz und den strategischen Schwerpunkten des Operationsplans. Übersetzung der Zahlen in eine klare Erzählung – mit Entscheidungsvorlagen statt reinen Statusberichten. * Vorantreiben der KI-Adoption im gesamten Revenue-Bereich. Befähigung der Teammitglieder zur Nutzung modernster KI-Tools im Arbeitsalltag, Identifikation von Workflows, in denen agentische Systeme echte Entlastung schaffen können, und Aufbau (oder Beauftragung) dieser Systeme, sodass die Produktivität der Funktion nachhaltig wächst. * Steuerung und Management des Performance Marketings über Meta, Google und TikTok. Verantwortung für Kanalstrategie, Budgetsteuerung, Creative-Testing-Rhythmus und die Zusammenarbeit mit internen Spezialisten, Freelancern oder Agenturen – mit ausreichender Plattformnähe, um die Umsetzung kritisch zu hinterfragen und tägliche Entscheidungen souverän zu treffen. * Aufbau von CODE zur bekanntesten Hochschulmarke für ambitionierte Gründer:innen, Builder und kreative Technolog:innen in Europa. Entwicklung und Umsetzung von Initiativen zur Steigerung der Bekanntheit, Stärkung der Markenpräferenz und Vertiefung der Verbindung von CODE zum Startup- und Technologie-Ökosystem. Sicherstellung, dass Storytelling, Community, Partnerschaften, Events, Content und Performance Marketing als ein kohärentes Wachstumssystem funktionieren, das die Nachfrage nachhaltig steigert. * Hands-on-Beteiligung an der kreativen Produktion, wenn es die Ergebnisse beschleunigt – vor der Kamera stehen, einfache Video-Schnitte erstellen oder Figma-Assets direkt anpassen, anstatt auf andere zu warten. Dies ist nicht der Kern der Rolle, aber die Bereitschaft und Fähigkeit dazu, wenn es darauf ankommt, wird erwartet. * Aufbau und Anpassung der Website, Landing Pages und angrenzender Tech-Systeme, wenn dies direkt der Revenue-Performance dient – opportunistisch und nicht als Hauptaufgabe, aber mit ausreichender Kompetenz, um Änderungen eigenständig umzusetzen, ohne auf externe Entwicklungskapazitäten angewiesen zu sein. ANFORDERUNGEN * Mehrjährige Erfahrung in einer Growth-Leadership-Position mit hohem Druck zur Erzielung direkter, messbarer Ergebnisse – typischerweise in einem Startup, Scale-up oder einer kommerziell ausgerichteten Inhouse-Funktion. Klassische Corporate-Marketing-Hintergründe ohne direkte Revenue-Verantwortung passen nicht zu dieser Rolle. * Erfahrung im Hiring mit nachweislicher Erfolgsbilanz beim Aufbau und der Entwicklung kleiner, leistungsstarker Marketing- und/oder Admissions-/Sales-Teams – einschließlich Sourcing, Bewertung und Entscheidungsfindung bei Senior- und Spezialisten-Einstellungen. * Aktuelle, praktische Kenntnisse im Performance Advertising auf TikTok, Meta und Google – auf dem Niveau einer Person, die sich in die Ad-Accounts einloggen, diese auditieren und konkrete nächste Schritte vorgeben kann, ohne auf Agenturen oder Spezialisten angewiesen zu sein. * Praktische Creative-Production-Skills – grundlegende Videobearbeitung und grundlegende Figma-Bildbearbeitung – gepaart mit der Bereitschaft, bei Bedarf selbst vor die Kamera zu treten. * KI-Kompetenz auf dem Niveau der täglichen Nutzung modernster Tools – einschließlich Coding-naher Agenten wie Claude Code – sowie eine klare Meinung dazu, wo KI als Nächstes in Revenue Operations integriert werden sollte. * Fließende Zweisprachigkeit in Englisch und Deutsch. * Echte Identifikation mit dem Studierendenprofil von CODE – das Gefühl: „Das könnte die Hochschule sein (oder hätte es sein können), an der ich selbst studieren wollen würde." BONUS (aber nicht erforderlich) * Vorerfahrung im Bildungsbereich oder in einem anderen High-Ticket-Direct-to-Consumer-Markt mit vergleichbaren Entscheidungszyklen und emotionaler Kaufentscheidung – Bootcamps, Premium-Coaching, private Gesundheitsversorgung, Immobilien oder Ähnliches. ZIELKANDIDATENPROFIL Zwei Profile passen gut zu dieser Rolle – Bewerbungen aus beiden Richtungen sind gleichermaßen willkommen. * Der ambitionierte Head of Growth auf dem Weg zum nächsten Schritt – bereits End-to-End verantwortlich für Performance, Analytics und Teamführung in einem Startup oder Scale-up und bereit, eine vollständige Revenue-Funktion mit direkter Vorstandsanbindung zu übernehmen. * Der erfahrene Ex-Founder, Ex-CRO oder Ex-CMO auf der Suche nach einer Mission, für die es sich zu engagieren lohnt – jemand, der bereits Revenue-Verantwortung getragen hat und sich dafür begeistert, die nächste Generation europäischer Tech-Talente aufzubauen, anstatt einen weiteren generischen Funnel zu optimieren. WAS WIR BIETEN * Strategische Führungsrolle: Mitglied des Führungsteams werden und die Wachstums- sowie strategische Ausrichtung einer der innovativsten Hochschulen Europas mitgestalten. * Impact auf höchster Ebene: Einfluss auf zentrale Entscheidungen an der Schnittstelle von Bildung, Technologie und Unternehmertum – in enger Zusammenarbeit mit der Hochschulleitung und wichtigen Stakeholdern. * Werteorientierte Vergütung: Wettbewerbsfähiges Gehalt, ergänzt durch einen VESOP-Plan, der langfristiges Engagement und gemeinsamen Erfolg belohnt. * Dynamisches Arbeitsumfeld: Unser Campus im lebendigen Neukölln bietet eine Startup-ähnliche Atmosphäre mit flexiblen Arbeitszeiten und hybriden Arbeitsoptionen in einem der kreativsten Bezirke Berlins. - English version - CODE University of Applied Sciences is a private, state-accredited university in Berlin, educating the digital pioneers of tomorrow. Founded in 2017, CODE has become one of Europe’s most innovative higher education institutions. Students learn by building real products in interdisciplinary teams – not by attending lectures. Our community of over 70 nationalities turns passion for tech, design, and entrepreneurship into real-world impact. Deeply connected to the German startup ecosystem, CODE is supported by leading founders and investors. MISSION Own student intake, tuition revenue, and market demand for CODE University. Hit the numbers against a defined budget, build the team that scales the result, and operate as the hands-on growth leader who closes the gap between strategy and execution — directing performance marketing, sharpening the admissions funnel, and pulling AI into every layer of the revenue function. MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES * Carry overall accountability for hitting student intake and tuition revenue targets within the agreed budget. Translate the university's growth ambition into a quarterly operating plan, allocate spend across channels and stages of the funnel, and report progress, risks, and corrective actions transparently. * Lead and hire the marketing and admissions team — currently three to five people — including the admissions team lead. Define roles, raise the bar on hires, set performance expectations, and build a working culture in which direct-response thinking and shipping cadence are the default. * Expand CODE's analytics capabilities so that revenue decisions are made on clean, trustworthy data. Drive the build-out of the data warehouse, web tracking, and CRM instrumentation; define the dashboards and metrics that the team and the board operate against; and turn raw numbers into the weekly read on what is working and what is not. * Partner with the admissions team lead to continuously optimize the CRM and end-to-end sales process — from lead capture through application, interview, decision, and enrollment. Tighten conversion at every stage, shorten cycle times, and embed feedback loops between marketing channels and downstream funnel performance. * Communicate with board members and other senior stakeholders on revenue performance, pipeline health, channel economics, and the strategic bets behind the operating plan. Translate the numbers into a clear narrative and bring decisions, not status updates, to the table. * Drive AI adoption across the revenue department. Enable team members to use cutting-edge AI tooling in their daily work, identify the workflows where agentic systems can take real load off the team, and build (or commission) those systems so the function compounds in productivity over time. * Direct and manage performance marketing across Meta, Google, and TikTok. Own channel strategy, budget pacing, creative testing rhythm, and the working relationship with any in-house specialists, freelancers, or agencies — staying close enough to the platforms to challenge execution and make day-to-day calls confidently. * Build CODE into the most recognised university brand for ambitious builders, founders, and creative technologists in Europe. Develop and execute initiatives that increase awareness, strengthen brand preference, and deepen CODE's connection to the startup and technology ecosystem. Ensure that storytelling, community, partnerships, events, content, and performance marketing operate as one coherent growth system that compounds demand over time.  * Step into creative production where it accelerates results — appearing on camera when needed, cutting basic video edits, and adjusting Figma image assets directly rather than waiting on others. This hands-on contribution is not the core of the role, but the willingness and ability to do it when it matters is. * Build and adjust the website, landing pages, and adjacent tech stack where this directly serves revenue performance — opportunistically rather than as a primary responsibility, but with enough fluency to ship changes without depending on external engineering bandwidth. REQUIREMENTS * Multiple years of experience in a growth leadership position under high pressure to drive direct, measurable results — typically in a startup, scale-up, or commercially exposed in-house function. Corporate marketing backgrounds without direct revenue accountability are not a fit. * Hiring experience, with a track record of building and developing small, high-performing marketing and/or admissions/sales teams — including sourcing, evaluating, and making the call on senior and specialist hires. * Hands-on, current knowledge of running performance advertising on TikTok, Meta, and Google — at the level of someone who can sit down in the ad accounts, audit them, and direct concrete next steps rather than relying on agency or specialist intermediation. * Hands-on creative production skills — basic video editing and basic Figma image work — paired with the willingness to step in front of the camera when the situation calls for it. * AI literacy at the level of daily use of cutting-edge tools — including coding-adjacent agents like Claude Code — and a clear point of view on where AI should be inserted into revenue operations next. * Bilingual fluency in English and German. * Genuine identification with CODE's student profile — the sense that "this could be (or could have been) the university I would want to study at." BONUS (BUT NOT REQUIRED) * Prior experience in education, or in another high-ticket direct-to-consumer market with comparable consideration cycles and emotional decision-making — bootcamps, premium coaching, private healthcare, real estate, or similar. TARGET CANDIDATE PROFILES Two profiles fit this role well, and applications from either are equally welcome. * The ambitious Head of Growth taking the next step — already operating end-to-end across performance, analytics, and team leadership at a startup or scale-up, and ready to own a full revenue function with board-level exposure. * The seasoned ex-founder, ex-CRO, or ex-CMO looking for a mission worth committing to — someone who has carried revenue accountability before and is drawn to building the next generation of European tech talent rather than optimising another generic funnel. WHAT WE OFFER * Strategic Leadership Role: Join the executive team and shape the financial future and strategic direction of one of Europe’s most forward-thinking universities * High-Level Impact: Influence key decisions at the intersection of education, technology, and entrepreneurship—working closely with our leadership team and key stakeholders * Value-Aligned Compensation: Competitive salary complemented by a VESOP plan designed to reward long-term commitment and shared success * Dynamic Work Environment: Our campus in vibrant Neukölln offers a startup-like atmosphere with flexible working hours and hybrid work options in one of Berlin’s most creative districts
