About the Role
A fast-growing, Y Combinator–backed AI SaaS startup is looking for an Account Executive to join their Munich-based team on-site. The company builds AI-powered software that automates quoting and order processing for distributors and manufacturers — helping sales teams eliminate manual work, reduce lost deals, and close faster.
As an early AE, you'll own the full sales cycle from first meeting to close, selling to mid-market and enterprise customers primarily in Germany. You'll play a pivotal role in driving the company toward a significant ARR milestone by end of 2026, and have the opportunity to help build out the sales team and processes as the company scales.

-
Pipeline Management: Partner closely with the prospecting team to maintain a healthy pipeline and ensure a seamless customer journey.
-
Customer Value: Guide prospects through evaluation, build strong relationships, and develop compelling business cases that demonstrate clear ROI to executive stakeholders.
-
Sales Execution: Conduct product demos, lead negotiations, and close deals while continuously refining the sales process.
-
Sales Strategy: Design and implement strategies to win key accounts and expand into new markets and verticals.
-
Customer Feedback: Gather and relay customer insights to the engineering team to inform and accelerate product development.

Experience in construction, supply chain, HVAC, electrical, building materials, or the trades.

Experience building or leading a sales team and scaling sales processes.
