Account Executive (German Speaking)

Über diese Stelle

ABOUT THE ROLE

A fast-growing, Seed-stage European AI phone assistant SaaS startup — backed by leading European investors and building its own proprietary orchestration layer — is looking for a German-speaking Account Executive to join its Vienna-based team. This is a high-velocity inbound sales role: you will run multiple qualified demos every day, own the full sales cycle end-to-end, and play a direct role in driving revenue as the company scales rapidly across Europe.

There is no cold outreach — you'll work exclusively with pre-qualified inbound leads generated by a strong marketing engine. This is a rare opportunity to join an early-stage company at an inflection point, with significant upside and career growth potential.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Conduct 8–16 qualified inbound discovery and demo calls per day, showcasing the AI phone assistant platform and its business value to SMB prospects.

- Own the full sales cycle from first contact through closing, consistently working toward monthly and quarterly quota targets.

- Manage warm leads, execute structured follow-ups, and keep your CRM pipeline clean, accurate, and up to date.

- Ensure smooth, professional handovers to the Customer Success team after deal closure.

- Relay customer and prospect feedback to the Marketing team and contribute to reliable sales forecasting.

- Collaborate closely with teammates to continuously refine and optimise the sales motion in a rapidly scaling environment.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Must-haves:

- 1+ years of B2B SaaS sales experience, with a proven track record of closing deals end-to-end along a clearly defined funnel.

- Native-level German fluency and a confident, polished phone and demo presence.

- Experience handling a high volume of inbound demo appointments (8–16 per day) in a structured, quota-carrying role.

- Demonstrated ability to maintain CRM hygiene and meet monthly/quarterly quota targets.

- Experience collaborating cross-functionally with Marketing and Customer Success teams.

- Strong product and technical understanding enabling effective SaaS demonstrations.

- Based in or willing to relocate to Vienna, Austria (hybrid arrangements considered).

Nice-to-haves:

- Prior experience in a startup or scale-up SaaS environment.

- Hands-on experience with CRM platforms such as Salesforce or HubSpot, and data-driven forecasting.

- Familiarity with AI, telephony, or contact centre technologies in a SaaS context.

Please note: Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

- OTE: €70,000–€120,000 (competitive base salary plus uncapped commission).

- Top-of-the-line equipment of your choice.

- Opportunity to grow with a well-funded, early-stage company scaling rapidly across Europe.

LOCATION

This role is based on-site in Vienna, Austria, with a hybrid option available. Fully remote candidates cannot be considered.
