About the Job

As a key growth accelerator, A11 partners with Europe’s most ambitious startups and scaleups, corporates and SMBs to connect them with top-tier talent ready to make an impact.

We’re looking for an ambitious Enterprise Account Executive (m/f/d) to build and own the enterprise sales engine across DACH at Optiml.

As an Enterprise Account Executive you’ll self-originate and close complex, high-value deals end-to-end, opening senior doors, diagnosing the real commercial problem, and steering skeptical buying committees to a signed contract.

In this role, you’ll:

• Build qualified enterprise pipeline independently through targeted account selection, outreach, referrals, events, and partner routes
• Lead senior commercial conversations, adapting the narrative by persona, asset type, use case, and maturity
• Own long, complex enterprise sales cycles end-to-end, from discovery through value case to close, converting opportunities into ARR
• Run deals with a structured methodology (MEDDPICC or equivalent): qualify early, forecast accurately, and keep CRM, notes, and follow-up sharp
• Build credibility and lasting relationships with senior and C-level decision-makers in a conservative, skeptical buyer landscape
• Map the buying committee, diagnose before pitching, and identify champions and blockers to build urgency and control the deal
• Sell a category-creating
