About the Role

This is an early Account Executive hire at a fast-growing AI voice platform serving B2C enterprises, where you will own deals end-to-end and directly shape the sales motion as the company scales. The role spans two levels, AE and Senior AE, across Mid-market and Enterprise segments, with level and segment matched to your track record. Your work drives new ARR and sets the playbook for the team that follows.

What You'll Do

•

Own the full deal cycle: discovery, demos, business cases, security reviews, procurement, legal, contract negotiation, and signature.

•

Generate your own outbound pipeline; the BDR team supports you but does not replace your prospecting effort.

•

Multi-thread complex buying committees across Sales, Operations, CX, IT, Security, Legal, Procurement, Finance, and the C-suite, building champions before procurement enters.

•

Carry a quota and maintain full accountability for forecast accuracy and pipeline coverage.

•

Codify what works, turning your qualification, executive engagement, and pricing approaches into team-wide playbooks.

•

Feed structured customer insights back to product, marketing, and strategy teams.

What We're Looking For

•

Mid-market AE: 1+ year consistently closing mid-market deals in the top tier of your team, with contract values in the mid five-figure range.

•

Senior AE / Enterprise: 3+ years closing complex, high-value deals of €100k+ with senior and C-suite economic buyers.

•

Hunter mindset: manufactures pipeline and breaks into accounts independently, without relying on warm inbound.

•

Skilled at building relationships across multi-threaded buying committees at companies of 500 to 10,000+ employees.

•

Executive presence and credibility with C-suite stakeholders from the very first interaction.

•

Ability to build business cases, quantify value, and negotiate confidently on commercial terms.

•

Experience selling software or SaaS solutions to enterprise customers; background in AI, voice technology, or conversational AI is a plus.

•

Familiarity with B2C or customer-facing verticals such as telecoms, energy, insurance, or financial services is a bonus.

•

Business-level fluency in both German and English is required.

•

Local work authorization in Germany is required; visa sponsorship is not available.

AE Mid-market: €130,000 to €160,000 OTE

Senior AE Mid-market: €160,000 to €180,000 OTE

•

Enterprise roles: comparable or higher OTE
