Account executive

Today, small and mid-sized companies need expensive consultants or in-house data engineers to truly become data-driven. Peliqan changes that. We’re a fast-growing start-up on a mission to reinvent how companies work with data, with offices in Ghent, Belgium and Bengaluru, India.

For our Ghent office, we’re hiring an Account Executive to join our Sales team. Our all-in-one data platform makes it easy for businesses to centralise, analyse, and activate data, without stitching together a dozen tools. We need your help to take us to market.

This means you’ll take ownership of the full sales cycle: from prospecting and outreach to demos, negotiations, and closing. This is a very big challenge:
Peliqan already has strong traction and proven ICPs across multiple segments, from accounting firms or Odoo partners to fast-growing scale-ups, PE-backed companies, and hospitality groups. Now it’s time to validate, refine, and prove that our sales motion can scale.
