The Opportunity
We're hiring a Senior Account Executive to own mid-market sales across DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). You'll close deals independently and mentor junior AEs.
Key requirement: You must self-source your pipeline. We're not looking for order-takers. If you've built your own deals, thrived on outbound prospecting, and hit aggressive quotas consistently, this role is for you.
What You'll Own
Pipeline Generation (Mandatory)
• Self-source your pipeline through outbound prospecting and account research
• We also have inbound leads, SDR-sourced opportunities, and partnership channels—you'll leverage all of them
• Maintain healthy pipeline coverage
• Identify deal risks early and proactively remove blockers
• Prospecting is a core part of your role, not a side activity
• Track conversion metrics and optimize your approach
Revenue & Territory
• Hit your annual quota consistently
• Own territory strategy and decide where to focus effort
Cross-Functional Collaboration (Required)
• Work closely with Marketing on campaigns, messaging, and positioning
• Partner with SDRs on pipeline generation and account strategy
• Collaborate with Product on customer feedback and feature prioritization
• Work with Partnerships on partner-sourced opportunities
• These are core to your role, not optional activities
Sales Excellence
• Run structured discovery and consultative sales process
• Deliver compelling product demos and business cases
• Navigate multi-stakeholder deals across Finance, HR, IT
• Maintain accurate forecasting and CRM hygiene
Customer Handover & Journey
• Ensure seamless handover to Customer Success at deal close (no dropped context)
• Brief CS team on customer priorities, deal-specific commitments, and onboarding needs
• Maintain ownership of customer success through early onboarding phase
• Proactively flag at-risk accounts or expansion opportunities to CS and leadership
Go-to-Market Feedback
• Bring frontline insights on ICP, messaging, and objections
• Share learnings on what works (and what doesn't) to improve the playbook
• Collaborate with Marketing and Product to refine positioning and campaigns
