Account Executive | Automotive - Enterprise SaaS

Intro

Every industrial company on our customer list, ZF, Schaeffler, Miele, Maersk, Lufthansa, is fighting the same challenge: margin erosion from tariffs, CBAM, and supply chains nobody fully understands anymore. We're not another SaaS tool competing for budget. We're the difference between a board that knows its cost exposure and one that finds out the hard way. As Account Executive, you own that conversation end to end, first call to signed contract, for the deals that actually move the needle.

Why this seat is different
The deals are long-cycle, technical, and multi-stakeholder, procurement, sustainability, and operations all in the room, often with conflicting priorities. If you've sold complex B2B SaaS where the win depends on translating technical value into board-level urgency, this is that seat, at a stage early enough that you'll shape how we do it, not just execute a playbook someone else wrote.

Your tasks

• Own the entire sales cycle:  prospecting, qualification, negotiation, close
• Build and run your own outbound strategy across LinkedIn, phone, email, and your own network
• Lead demos and presentations that translate technical product value into business urgency for enterprise buyers
• Navigate multi-stakeholder enterprise deals (procurement, sustainability, technical) without losing momentum
• Keep your pipeline clean and current in our CRM
• Partner closely with Marketing, Product, and Customer Success to keep what we sell aligned with what we can deliver
• Bring market and competitor intel back to the team to sharpen our positioning

Your profile

• Proven track record running full-cycle enterprise B2B SaaS sales , with a strong trajectory (quota overachievement, fast progression) weighted more heavily than years alone
• Comfortable managing long, multi-stakeholder sales cycles with technical and non-technical buyers
• Experience selling into industrial or regulated sectors ( automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, logistics, chemicals) is a strong plus; we're equally interested in strong operators from adjacent complex B2B environments
• Fluent in German and English ; most of our enterprise buyers are German-speaking
• Hands-on CRM experience (Salesforce or HubSpot)
• Based in or willing to relocate to Munich , in-person presence 3 days/week , with regular travel to customers
