Job description

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're a fast-growing, Series A/B-stage AI SaaS company serving the industrial procurement sector. Our platform uses AI agents to help industrial Mittelstand companies optimize purchasing conditions, reduce costs, and manage supply chain risk — replacing legacy processes with intelligent, data-driven workflows. As Team Lead, Account Executives, you'll own a customer segment and lead a team of ~5 AEs targeting a greenfield DACH market.

This is a hands-on player-coach role: you'll carry a personal quota while coaching your team to exceed collective targets, and you'll work directly with senior leadership to shape and execute go-to-market strategy. Based full-time in Munich, this is an on-site position.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Lead, coach, and develop a team of ~5 Account Executives to capture a large market opportunity across the DACH region.
  • Close deals against a personal quota while supporting your team to exceed their individual and collective targets.
  • Collaborate with sales leadership to define and execute go-to-market strategy for a greenfield market.
  • Join critical customer conversations to shape deal strategy, de-risk opportunities, and support negotiations and business case development.
  • Deliver measurable procurement value to industrial customers — helping them optimize costs, reduce supply chain risk, and meet regulatory requirements.
  • Implement and coach structured sales methodologies (e.g. MEDDIC) across the team to sharpen discovery, negotiation, and pipeline management.
  • Drive performance through metrics tracking, pipeline reviews, and action planning to increase win rates and deal velocity.
  • Build a high-performing sales culture through structured training, hands-on deal support, and clear performance management.
  • Identify AI-driven opportunities to accelerate team productivity and share best-practice workflows across the go-to-market organization.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Required - 3+ years as an Account Executive in B2B SaaS with complex, non-transactional sales cycles. - 2+ years of people leadership or team management experience in a sales organization, ideally in a high-growth SaaS environment.

  • Proven, consistent track record of meeting or exceeding quota.
  • Fluency in both German and English (written and spoken).
  • Familiarity with structured sales methodologies (MEDDIC or equivalent) and the ability to coach others on their application.
  • Proficiency with CRM and sales tooling (e.g. Salesforce) and a disciplined approach to forecasting.
  • Strong communication, coaching, and performance management skills.
  • Based in Munich and comfortable working on-site full-time.

Nice to Have

  • Experience selling into industrial, manufacturing, or supply chain verticals.
  • Familiarity with procurement processes or ERP ecosystems.
  • Background working at a high-growth enterprise SaaS company in the DACH market. LOCATION & WORK ARRANGEMENT
  • Location: Munich, Bavaria, Germany
  • Work arrangement: On-site, full-time
  • Visa sponsorship: Not available — candidates must already have the right to work in Germany WHY THIS ROLE
  • Join a well-funded, high-growth AI SaaS company at a pivotal stage of DACH market expansion.
  • Rare opportunity to build and lead a sales team in a greenfield market with strong product-market fit.
  • Work closely with senior leadership and founders on strategy — high visibility and real impact.
  • Be part of a mission-driven team working to modernize procurement for European industry through AI.
