Enterprise Account Executive

TLDR

Lead complex B2B SaaS deals with C-level buyers, using AI-driven procurement intelligence to build enterprise sales playbooks and close strategic contracts.

About the Role

This is an enterprise sales role at a fast-growing B2B SaaS company bringing AI-driven procurement intelligence to the industrial sector. You'll lead complex, multi-stakeholder deals with C-level buyers across Germany's industrial Mittelstand, turning strategic opportunities into signed contracts while helping build the playbook for repeatable enterprise growth.

What You'll Do

  • Own the full enterprise sales cycle — from initial engagement through contract signature — for a defined set of large, complex accounts.

  • Build and execute targeted account and pipeline strategies, managing long cycles (6+ months) with multiple senior stakeholders.

  • Act as a trusted advisor to C-level executives, developing business cases that clearly quantify ROI and strategic impact.

  • Lead executive demos, workshops, and negotiations, navigating procurement and legal processes to drive deals to close.

  • Refine messaging, positioning, and deal structuring to sharpen how the team wins enterprise customers.

  • Relay customer feedback and market insights to Product and Leadership to strengthen the enterprise offering.

  • Coordinate cross-functionally across Product, Solution Engineering, Marketing, and Customer Value for successful deal execution.

  • Contribute to enterprise playbooks, processes, and best practices as the team scales upmarket.

  • Leverage AI tools to research accounts, structure deals, prepare executive conversations, and manage pipeline efficiently.

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of closing experience in B2B SaaS or complex enterprise software sales.

  • Proven value-based selling skills with business-case-driven deals at typical ACVs of ~€80k or above.

  • Demonstrated ability to manage long sales cycles (6+ months) involving multiple senior and C-level stakeholders.

  • Strong command of enterprise sales methodologies (e.g., MEDDIC, SPIN, SPICED), applied pragmatically.

  • Entrepreneurial ownership of territory, pipeline, and outcomes; comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.

  • Fluent German with strong executive presence in both verbal and written communication.

  • Experience selling into industrial, procurement, or supply-chain-heavy organizations is a strong plus.

  • Background in high-complexity, high-performance environments — startup or equivalent.
