TLDR

Own the full sales cycle for B2B SaaS and enterprise software deals, from inbound lead qualification through contract negotiation and close.

About the Role

Join a fast-growing, AI-native B2B go-to-market agency based in Berlin that helps over 200 B2B tech companies across the DACH region generate qualified pipeline and scale revenue. Operating at the intersection of performance marketing, signal-based outreach, and AI-powered automation, the team partners with SaaS and IT service providers to drive measurable growth outcomes.

As a B2B Account Executive, you will be a key driver of sales success — owning the full sales cycle from inbound lead management through to close, while building long-term customer relationships and contributing to a culture of continuous process improvement.

What You'll Do

  • Lead end-to-end sales conversations with strong negotiation skills, from discovery through contract signature.

  • Manage and qualify inbound leads, preparing thoroughly for every customer meeting and presentation.

  • Conduct discovery calls, needs analysis, and sales presentations to C-level and technical stakeholders.

  • Prepare, negotiate, and manage commercial proposals and contracts.

  • Maintain CRM data diligently, ensuring accurate pipeline records, forecasting, and quota tracking.

  • Monitor market trends, participate actively in team meetings, and produce regular performance reports.

  • Continuously expand your product and sales expertise to serve as a trusted advisor to clients.

  • Build and nurture long-term customer relationships through strategic account management and a consultative approach.

  • Actively identify and contribute to improvements in sales processes and go-to-market strategy.

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

  • 3+ years of experience in strategic B2B sales with a demonstrated track record of closing and retaining enterprise or mid-market customers.

  • Proven success closing B2B SaaS or enterprise software deals.

  • Fluent German and advanced English proficiency (written and spoken).

  • Experience managing CRM systems (e.g., Pipedrive, Salesforce, HubSpot) and maintaining accurate pipeline data.

  • Experience preparing and negotiating commercial contracts and proposals.

  • Experience with lead qualification and pipeline management in high-velocity sales environments.

  • Ability to create sales reports, forecasts, and track metrics against quota targets.

  • Strong communication skills, organisational rigour, and proven closing strength.

Nice to have:

  • Experience selling to German-speaking B2B tech companies or strong knowledge of the DACH market.

  • Familiarity with AI-powered or AI-native software products.

  • Experience contributing to go-to-market strategy or sales process optimisation.
