About the Role

This is a hands-on sales leadership position at a fast-growing B2B SaaS company serving industrial Mittelstand customers across the DACH region. You will lead a team of roughly five Account Executives while carrying your own quota, shaping go-to-market strategy in a largely greenfield market, and delivering measurable procurement value to customers in manufacturing and industrial sectors.

What You'll Do

  • Own a defined customer segment and lead a team of approximately five Account Executives to capture a large market opportunity across DACH.

  • Close deals against a personal quota while coaching the team to exceed collective targets.

  • Partner with founders and sales leadership to shape and execute go-to-market strategy in a greenfield market.

  • Join critical customer conversations to guide deal strategy, reduce risk, and support negotiations and business case development.

  • Build and develop a high-performing sales team through structured training, hands-on deal support, and performance management.

  • Implement and coach structured sales methodologies, including MEDDIC, to sharpen discovery, negotiation, and pipeline management.

  • Drive team performance through metrics tracking, pipeline reviews, and action planning to increase win rates and deal velocity.

  • Identify and apply AI-driven workflows to accelerate team productivity and share best practices across the broader sales organisation.

What We're Looking For

  • 3 or more years as an Account Executive in B2B SaaS, with experience in complex, non-transactional sales cycles.

  • At least 1 year in a formal sales leadership role, ideally within a high-growth SaaS environment.

  • Demonstrated track record of consistently meeting or exceeding sales targets.

  • Strong ability to apply and coach structured sales methodologies such as MEDDIC.

  • Experience contributing to go-to-market strategy in a new or underpenetrated market.

  • Strategic thinker who can also execute tactically at the deal level.

  • Highly motivated, resilient, and results-oriented with a purpose-driven mindset.

  • Fluent in both German and English.

  • Background in manufacturing procurement technology or experience selling to industrial customers is a plus.
