Enterprise Account Executive (DACH) – Expansion & New Business

Locations: München (preferred), Berlin, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, London – Flexible Hybrid

About Zuora

At Zuora, we transform how modern companies do business. As the world moves fully into the Subscription Economy, organisations across the DACH region are shifting away from one-time transactions to recurring customer relationships, predictable revenue and sustainable growth. Our cloud-based platform enables exactly that — helping leading companies innovate, monetise new business models and deliver digital experiences that customers love.

The Team & Opportunity

Our growth journey in DACH is accelerating, and we’re expanding our team with an experienced, entrepreneurial Enterprise Account Executive who thrives in both strategic account expansion and new-business acquisition.

You will partner with some of the most innovative software, hardware, media, telecom and IoT companies in the region — helping them modernise finance, unlock subscription revenue and transform entire business models.

This is a high-impact role for someone who wants ownership, autonomy and a clear path to success in a fast-growing international environment.

What You Will Do

• Complete our in-depth onboarding and sales training to become an expert in Zuora’s portfolio, positioning and value proposition.

• Own your DACH territory and develop focused account and opportunity plans across both expansion within your installed base and new-business generation to build a strong, predictable pipeline.

• Engage with C-level stakeholders (CEO/CFO/CIO) to shape digital transformation and subscription strategies.

• Lead full, complex enterprise SaaS sales cycles — from qualification and discovery to value engineering, negotiation and closing.

• Identify, create and secure cross-sell, upsell and whitespace opportunities across your assigned accounts.

• Consistently exceed quarterly/annual revenue, new ACV and renewal targets.

• Work hand-in-hand with marketing, product and customer success to deliver seamless customer experiences and drive adoption.

• Accurately forecast and manage your business using best-practice sales methodology (MEDDIC/MEDDPICC).

• Represent the voice of your customers and ensure successful outcomes by coordinating internal teams when issues arise.
