Sr Account Executive (DACH)

TLDR

Own mid-market sales across DACH, with the responsibility to self-source pipelines through outbound prospecting while mentoring junior Account Executives.

The Opportunity

We're hiring a Senior Account Executive to own mid-market sales across DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). You'll close deals independently and mentor junior AEs.

Key requirement: You must self-source your pipeline. We're not looking for order-takers. If you've built your own deals, thrived on outbound prospecting, and hit aggressive quotas consistently, this role is for you.

What You'll Own

Pipeline Generation (Mandatory)

  • Self-source your pipeline through outbound prospecting and account research

  • We also have inbound leads, SDR-sourced opportunities, and partnership channels—you'll leverage all of them

  • Maintain healthy pipeline coverage

  • Identify deal risks early and proactively remove blockers

  • Prospecting is a core part of your role, not a side activity

Cross-Functional Collaboration (Required)

  • Work closely with Marketing on campaigns, messaging, and positioning

  • Partner with SDRs on pipeline generation and account strategy

  • These are core to your role, not optional activities

Sales Excellence

  • Run structured discovery and consultative sales process

  • Deliver compelling product demos and business cases

  • Navigate multi-stakeholder deals across Finance, HR, IT

  • Maintain accurate forecasting and CRM hygiene

Customer Handover & Journey

  • Ensure seamless handover to Customer Success at deal close (no dropped context)

  • Brief CS team on customer priorities, deal-specific commitments, and onboarding needs

  • Maintain ownership of customer success through early onboarding phase

  • Proactively flag at-risk accounts or expansion opportunities to CS and leadership

Go-to-Market Feedback

  • Bring frontline insights on ICP, messaging, and objections

  • Share learnings on what works (and what doesn't) to improve the playbook

  • Collaborate with Marketing and Product to refine positioning and campaigns
