Your Role

As an Account Executive at fonio, you're a closer through and through. You get warm, pre-qualified leads every day and know exactly what to do with them. And when the pipeline dries out, you don't wait around: you go on the hunt for deals.

What to expect

• Inbound demos: 8–16 qualified demo calls per day

• Quota ownership: clear monthly and quarterly targets

• Pipeline management: structured follow-ups and clean CRM hygiene

• Help sharpen our sales motion as we scale fast

Who We're Looking For

• 1+ years of sales experience in transactional or B2B SaaS sales

• Proven closing track record along a structured funnel

• High discipline, strong ownership, and a genuine hunger to earn

• Natural communicator and storyteller

• Native or C2 Italian; strong English. German is a big plus.

• Ready for a paid temporary relocation (around 2 months in Vienna to soak up our culture)

What We Offer

• €70.000-€100.000 OTE (base + uncapped commission)

• Equity - you build it, you should own a piece of it.

• Unlimited budget with the right ROI

• Food & drinks - at our Vienna office, lunch and dinner are on us (plus all the drinks your heart desires, and yes, we have protein bars and vitamins too).

• Relocation bonus (in case you want to stay in Vienna)

• Equipment of your choice - whatever makes you happy.

• Regular team offsites.
