    Description

    About the Role

    A fast-growing, Series A-backed AI-powered procurement intelligence platform — serving the European industrial sector — is looking for a (Senior) Account Executive to join the team on-site in Munich. You'll own the full sales cycle, selling a compelling B2B SaaS product that helps Heads of Procurement and C-level stakeholders at manufacturing and industrial companies turn procurement into a strategic, cost-saving advantage.

    This is a high-impact, full-cycle closing role within a performance-driven sales organization supported by a dedicated prospecting team. You'll be joining a ~150-person scaleup backed by top-tier European and global investors, with a clear mission to modernize industrial procurement through AI.

    What You'll Do

    • Qualify and close new B2B software customers across manufacturing and industrial verticals.

    • Manage the end-to-end sales process — from first meeting through demos, negotiations, and contract signature.

    • Collaborate closely with a prospecting team to maintain a healthy, qualified pipeline.

    • Build tailored business cases that clearly articulate ROI and product value for procurement and C-level stakeholders.

    • Develop customer-specific sales strategies aimed at forming long-term partnerships.

    • Collect and relay customer feedback to inform product development and innovation.

    • Work cross-functionally with product, marketing, and customer success to continuously improve the sales motion.

    • Contribute to building out and training a high-performance sales organization.

    • Identify and experiment with AI-driven workflows to accelerate your own and the team's sales effectiveness.

    What We're Looking For

    Must-haves:

    • At least 1–2 years of closing experience in B2B software sales; senior candidates should bring 5+ years.

    • Demonstrated experience selling into industrial or technical environments.

    • Fluent written and spoken German — excellent German communication skills are essential.

    • Hands-on experience with CRM systems (e.g., HubSpot) and tracking key sales metrics.

    • Proven ability to run a full sales cycle — from qualification to contract closure — including product demos and negotiations.

    • Consultative, solution-oriented selling approach with the ability to build compelling business cases using data.

    • Willingness and ability to work on-site in Munich and engage with customers in person.

    Nice-to-haves:

    • Familiarity with procurement or supply chain domains.

    • Experience collaborating with an outbound prospecting or SDR team.

    • Comfort operating in fast-paced, startup or scaleup environments and contributing to company-wide growth.

    Location

    This role is on-site in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. Candidates must be willing to work from the Munich office and meet customers in person. Visa sponsorship is not available — candidates must already have the right to work in Germany.
