What you'll do
This new hire will bring the Dutch Account Executive team to three: our founding Dutch AE, a Senior AE starting in January 2026, and now this role — a small but growing team building on the momentum since we launched the Dutch entity in mid-2024.

This role will be targeting small to medium sized business (minimum of 30 seats upwards) with typical ARR of €50-250k.

Whilst you will have a lot of flexibility as to who you target, we know what works in the other markets:
Insurance, Banking, Finance, Utilities, Local Government, Telecomms – experience selling into any of these is therefore advantageous.

What we're looking for
You’ll be proactive and solution-oriented, and not afraid to shake things up. Excellent communication skills are a must, as well as the ability to close deals.

You should have good time management skills, be comfortable running your own processes and excel at the following:

Building and nurturing relationships with customers or creating business opportunities from scratch – it’s important to highlight that you’ll be managing the full sales cycle from initial prospecting to close.

Initiating and leading activities that contribute to goal achievement for growth and profitability in the portfolio.

Conducting activities such as demos and presentations.

Performance and budget responsibility for your own portfolio.

High self-motivation and being able to implement a structured way of working.

Thoroughly understand the customer’s needs, business, and processes.

Working under pressure and to deadlines.

Interacting with clients and customers both internally and externally.

Making the most of our systems and automated sequences to minimise manual work and continued best practice for Rev Ops (Salesforce and Outreach in particular).

The must haves

Dutch native level speaker + strong English

Technological understanding and interest in the field of cloud-based services

1-3 years’ experience managing full sales cycle, from prospect to close

SaaS, CX or any other solution-based sales experience

Experience working with structured sales methodologies (MEDDPICC and/or Challenger preferable) & sales pipelining

Autonomy and confidence to sell into a new market

The nice to haves

Exposure to an international environment

Additional language skills

CCaaS / competitor industry experience

MEDDPICC or similarly robust methodology

The location
We are ideally looking for someone to be based around the Amsterdam/ Utrecht/ Hague/ Haarlem area, but it's important to mention we're remote-first.

We are very flexible with hybrid working, but we’d like to see you spending time with the team where possible, particularly as the Dutch entity grows. We have passes to Spaces offices which give you access 2…
