About the Role

This is a full-cycle Account Executive role at an early-stage AI software company serving distributors and manufacturers across Europe. You will own the entire sales process from first meeting to close, helping mid-market and enterprise customers in the German market unlock productivity through AI-powered quoting and order automation. Your work directly shapes revenue growth and the future of the sales team.

What You'll Do

  • Qualify and close new business with mid-market and enterprise customers.

  • Partner closely with the prospecting team to manage your pipeline and ensure a smooth customer journey.

  • Guide prospects through their evaluation, build strong relationships, and develop ROI-based business cases for executive stakeholders.

  • Run product demos, lead negotiations, and close deals while continuously refining the sales process.

  • Design and execute strategies to win key accounts and expand into new markets.

  • Collect and relay customer insights to the engineering team to inform product direction.

  • Help build and train a high-performing sales team and scalable sales processes over time.

What We're Looking For

  • 1+ years of closing experience in B2B SaaS or tech sales, with a clear track record of exceeding quota in mid-market or enterprise deals.

  • Demonstrated full-cycle AE experience: cold outreach, discovery, demos, negotiation, and close.

  • Background at a B2B SaaS startup or early-stage company, not solely large enterprises.

  • Proficiency with CRM and sales automation tools (such as Salesforce or equivalent) for pipeline management and forecasting.

  • Ability to build and present compelling, ROI-driven business cases to senior stakeholders.

  • University degree.

  • Native German speaker with fluent English.

  • Experience selling into construction, supply chain, or the trades is a strong plus.

On-site, five days per week in Munich, Bavaria, Germany.
