About Dcycle

Dcycle is a fast-growing B2B SaaS company that simplifies sustainability by making it transparent and easy to manage. We help businesses store and manage their non-financial data in one system, cutting through regulatory, financial, and technical complexities. With four years of exponential growth, we're empowering companies to streamline processes and stay competitive and take control of their information. Our team is innovative, driven, and passionate about helping companies improve their competitive edge. Join us if you are hungry for a challenge!

What Your First Months Will Look Like

You'll hit the ground running from our Madrid office. Within your first weeks, you'll dive into real sustainability cases-not theoretical exercises. Think: identifying buyer personas for upcoming DACH campaigns, mastering the contactability strategy that's generating meetings across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, or analyzing which outbound sequences are converting best in German-speaking markets. You'll learn by doing, with direct access to teammates across Sales, Partnerships, Marketing, and Customer Success.

You'll see how we work. Dcycle moves fast. You might spend your morning researching target companies in the DACH region for qualification, your afternoon on discovery calls learning to uncover pain points without giving away the solution, and wrap up the day refining your pitch based on real objections from German prospects. We don't just welcome ideas-we expect them. If you spot a better way to qualify leads or engage DACH prospects, you own fixing it.

You'll build real expertise. By month three, you'll understand the ESG landscape, our product inside-out, and how to sell meetings as practical masterclasses rather than sales pitches-all while navigating the nuances of the DACH business culture. You'll have shipped meaningful work-whether that's booking qualified meetings with German-speaking prospects, identifying new buyer personas in the DACH market, or improving our outbound battlecard based on what you're hearing in conversations.

You'll grow fast. At Dcycle, responsibility isn't rationed out slowly. If you can handle it, you'll get it. By six months, you'll look back and barely recognize how much you've learned. We will give you real problems, trust you to solve them, and coach you when you need it.

Dcycle & Our Culture

At Dcycle, we build ESG software that helps companies take control of their non-financial data: one system of record to collect, verify, and report with clarity.

We cut through regulatory, financial, and technical noise so sustainability is transparent, actionable, and easy to manage.

After four years of fast growth, our platform has empowered over 500 companies to take control of their non-financial data, enabling more informed decisions and streamlined processes.

In 2025 we're tripling revenue and scaling internationally; your work will help companies have greater control of their information and work better within their teams, across Europe.

We're a no-bullshit, high-ownership team: challenge ideas, bring fresh perspectives, sweat the details, and grow fast professionally and personally. If you want to build the infrastructure for sustainable business, this is where you'll do it.

Our office culture is built on mutual respect; nobody gets stepped on here. We collaborate across teams, and we ensure that our employees are taken care of so they can do their best work. Your well-being matters to us because when you're at your best, the company thrives.

That being said, we hold ourselves to high standards. The challenges we face are big, and we work hard with motivation and determination, always putting the company's interests first. Success is celebrated as a team, and we also support each other through the tougher moments, because we know we're all in it together.

At Dcycle, we have strong company values:

We are #1 - Driven by growth, passionate, energetic, and always ready to embrace challenges. Willing to put in the effort to improve and get better.

We fix what's broken - Ownership means taking responsibility not only for the outcomes but also for the journey-identifying problems, creating solutions, and driving results with dedication and accountability.

We take humor seriously - We're a close-knit team, and it's a pleasure to be surrounded by our own. We come to work not just to succeed, but to enjoy our time together and have fun.

We are intelligent - We learn quickly, adapt easily, and are technical experts in our field, guided by common sense. We combine expertise with practical thinking to make smart decisions and solve problems efficiently.

We don't like Bullshit - We know honesty, passion, trust, and transparency are what get us where we want to go. Transparency is about communicating clearly, sharing our mistakes, being real about our challenges. This holds us accountable and creates genuine connections between us. We want genuine humans who are the same at the office as they are outside of it: ambitious, curious, a bit chaotic, weird in the best way, and very human. No masks, no filters, not polished corporate versions.
