Account Executive

About the Role

A fast-growing, Y Combinator–backed AI SaaS startup in Munich is hiring an Account Executive to own the full sales cycle — from first meeting to close.

The business serves customers across industries including HVAC, electrical, and building materials, and is on an ambitious growth trajectory.
