Enterprise Account Executive (Central Germany)

About the Position

We are expanding our Enterprise Sales team in Germany and are looking for an Enterprise Account Executive to cover Germany Central. This is not an account-maintenance role. We are looking for proven enterprise sellers who know their market, have built trusted relationships with senior customers and partners, and consistently turn market access into qualified pipeline, strategic opportunities, and profitable growth.

Responsibilities

• Deliver quarterly and annual revenue targets across a defined portfolio of large enterprise customers and high-value prospects.
• Build and execute strategic territory and account plans focused on net-new logo acquisition, competitive displacement, and sustainable account expansion.
• Personally create and progress qualified pipeline through executive engagement, targeted prospecting, customer referrals, partners, and technology alliances.
• Lead complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles involving CIOs, CISOs, infrastructure leaders, procurement, partners, and executive sponsors.
• Develop compelling business cases that connect cyber resilience and data protection outcomes with financial value, risk reduction, and operational priorities.
• Orchestrate an integrated account team across Sales Engineering, Channel, Marketing, Customer Success, Professional Services, and executive leadership.
• Maintain accurate opportunity management, qualification, and forecasting throughout the sales cycle.
• Build long-term customer relationships based on credibility, business value, and consistent delivery.

Requirements

• A demonstrable track record of achieving or exceeding quota in enterprise software, SaaS, cybersecurity, data management, cloud infrastructure, or a closely related market.
• Proven experience closing complex six- and seven-figure enterprise transactions with long sales cycles and multiple decision-makers.
• Evidence of winning net-new enterprise customers, not only expanding inherited accounts.
• An established and active network across enterprise customers, C-level decision-makers, channel partners, and technology alliances within the relevant German territory.
• Strong knowledge of the German enterprise technology market, including customer priorities, competitive dynamics, procurement structures, and partner ecosystems.
• The ability to independently create access, shape opportunities, and maintain momentum without relying on continuous management intervention.
• Strong business-value selling, negotiation, and executive communication skills.
• Disciplined use of CRM, qualification methodology, account planning, and forecasting processes.
• A collaborative leadership style combined with personal accountability, resilience, and a strong desire to win.
• Business-fluent German and English.

Territory and Travel

• The role is field-based and should ideally be located within Germany Central with convenient access to major rail, road, and air connections.
• Regular customer and partner engagement across the assigned territory is an essential part of the role. Candidates should therefore be comfortable traveling based on customer and business requirements.

We Offer

• Opportunity to work with a leading company in the AI era.
• Be part of a team that helps organizations stay ready for constant disruption.
• Competitive compensation and benefits package.
