Our platform eliminates lost deals by automating quote and order processing — helping sales teams focus on what they do best: closing business.
We're looking for a driven Account Executive based in Munich to own the full sales cycle from first meeting to close. You'll be an early commercial hire with a real opportunity to shape the sales motion and build toward a high-performing team as we scale toward our next revenue milestone.
What You'll Do
- New Business: Qualify and close new mid-market and enterprise customers end-to-end.
- Pipeline Management: Partner closely with our prospecting team to maintain a healthy pipeline and ensure a smooth customer journey.
- Customer Value: Guide prospects through their evaluation process, build strong relationships, and develop compelling business cases that demonstrate clear ROI to executive stakeholders.
- Sales Process: Run product demos, lead negotiations, and close deals — while continuously refining our playbook.
- Sales Strategy: Design and execute strategies to win key accounts and expand into new verticals and markets.
- Customer Feedback: Act as the voice of the customer — channel insights back to the engineering and product teams to drive innovation.
- Team Building: As we grow, help recruit, train, and develop a high-performing sales team and scalable processes.
Must-haves:
- 1+ years of closing experience in B2B SaaS or tech sales.
- Proven track record of meeting or exceeding quota in mid-market and/or enterprise segments.
- Experience owning the full sales cycle: discovery, demos, negotiation, and close.
- Native-level German and fluent English — both are required for this role.
- Visa sponsorship is available.
- Proficiency with CRM and sales automation tools (e.g., Salesforce or equivalent) for pipeline management and forecasting.
- Ability to build and present ROI-driven business cases to C-suite and senior stakeholders.
- Background or experience in construction, supply chain, HVAC, electrical, or the trades/distribution sectors.
- Base + variable: $70,000 – $130,000 USD total compensation (depending on experience and structure).
- Equity participation in a high-growth, venture-backed startup.
- Visa sponsorship available for the right candidate.
This is a full-time, on-site role based in Munich, Germany. You'll be working alongside a tight-knit, ambitious team in one of Europe's leading tech hubs.
