What you'll do

  • Define each stage of the revenue chain from first conversation to expansion, give it an owner, a conversion rate and a cycle time, and report the whole chain weekly in one view
  • Carry a quota; lead enterprise and corporate accounts together with the CEO and own mid-market deals outright; stay with every account through go-live and into expansion
  • Build the sales playbook: ICP definitions, qualification criteria, demo script, proposal and pricing standards, go-live hand-over, expansion motion
  • Run weekly pipeline and deal reviews, joint customer meetings and ramp plans for new team members; measure output and coach on it
  • Work with the Forward Deployed Engineers so that every signed customer goes live inside the onboarding SLA
  • Own the expansion motion: additional modules, seats, usage, further entities; own net revenue retention
  • Pursue business development through partnerships, resellers and implementation partners where they produce live ARR faster than direct sales
  • Take over the active pipeline, close first deals with the CEO and alone, and write down the playbook
  • Set up the weekly revenue view, run the first pipeline reviews with the Growth & Sales Managers and agree the signed-to-live hand-over with the Forward Deployed Engineers
  • Respond the same day when a go-live is at risk, a live customer threatens to churn or a key deal needs a decision; take the lead with the customer until resolved or handed over
  • Travel to customers and stay engaged when a go-live, renewal or financial deadline is at risk; afterwards improve the playbook
  • Work closely with the Forward Deployed Engineers on go-live and with marketing on top of funnel

What we're looking for

  • Ten or more years in B2B software sales, with personal closes at C-level and a track record that includes a phase of extreme growth
  • Built or materially shaped a playbook that other people then ran successfully
  • Full-cycle B2B software sales to finance, operations or executive buyers, with personal quota attainment
  • Selling to German-speaking corporate and Mittelstand buyers; fluent German and English
  • Building a playbook, a pipeline process and a forecast that a team then runs
  • Coaching and developing sales people; running pipeline and deal reviews
  • Expansion and retention of existing customers; net revenue retention as an owned number
  • CRM discipline: stages, next steps, forecast accuracy as a matter of course
  • Daily use of AI tools for research, preparation and follow-up
  • Fluent German is required

Nice to have

  • ERP, accounting or financial operations software
  • Channel and partner sales
  • Implementation-heavy products where go-live is part of the sale
  • Experience alongside a technical implementation team
