Lead Account Executive; DACH

Overview

Full-time

You will be our most senior individual contributor in the DACH region, responsible for closing mid-market and enterprise accounts (ACVs €20k–€100k+), running complex multi-stakeholder cycles of 3-9 months, and setting the standard for what great looks like on our sales floor. You will inherit a strong inbound pipeline, backed by a brand that is increasingly recognised as the category leader. You will also build – deep discovery, outbound, and your own territory strategy.

This is not an order-taking role. This is a hybrid role based out of our Munich or Berlin hub.

• Close enterprise deals in DACH – from first call to signed contract. You own the full cycle.
• Build pipeline – you are expected to contribute towards building your own pipeline, based on proven playbooks showing great momentum.
• Mentor and develop 1–2 junior AEs – raise the floor, set the ceiling. There’s a path to sales leadership here for the right person.
• Shape the DACH go-to-market – you ll work directly with the CGO to refine positioning, ICP, and playbooks for the region.
• Help build something real in Berlin, or Munich – we re investing in the office and we want people who care about the culture they work in.

• Min. 4-5 years of experience in B2B SaaS in an Account Executive role.
• A genuine hunter – you get energy from opening doors, not just walking through them. Closing new business is what you re here for.
• Track record in complex, multi-stakeholder B2B sales – you re comfortable navigating procurement, IT, HR, and the C-suite at the same time.
• Equally strong inbound and outbound – deep discovery, structured pipeline management, and the ability to create demand where none existed.
• High energy, coachable, and hungry – you re at a stage in your career where you want to prove something, and you want the platform to do it.
• Native in German and fluent in English
