The role

Our Sales Team is looking for an experienced and success-driven Account Executive (m/f/d) to further accelerate our growth in the DACH market. In this role, you will act as a true new business hunter - identifying, prospecting, and winning new business across the region. Your focus will be on engaging new prospects, building strong relationships, and guiding them through the decision-making process. If you can align your own ambitions with the team’s goals while having fun along the way, you’re exactly who we’re looking for. 

We believe in a consultative sales approach, understanding a prospect’s needs and challenges before presenting how our global hiring solutions create value. As a talented and articulate salesperson, you will succeed through perseverance, clear communication, and strong commercial thinking, shaping conversations that drive growth and deliver impact.

What you will do as an Account Executive (DACH):

• Command your territory: You’ll own the DACH market with confidence, managing the full sales cycle – from engaging qualified leads (BDRs, inbound, events, partners, outbound, etc.) to confidently closing impactful deals.
• Consistently meet and exceed sales goals: You’ll achieve and aim to surpass your individual quarterly sales targets through disciplined execution and a results-driven approach.
• Fuel pipeline growth: You’ll proactively build and maintain a robust sales pipeline through consistent, creative outbound strategies and by leveraging your professional network.
• Be the Trusted Advisor: You’ll build credibility by exploring each client’s unique situation, framing challenges clearly, and providing solutions that generate real results and enduring relationships.
• Master WorkMotion’s global hiring solutions: You’ll articulate our unique value propositions, with compliance at the core, and show prospects why WorkMotion is the partner of choice for borderless hiring.
• Collaborate for success: You’ll work closely with Sales Campaign Managers, BDRs, your Team Lead, Customer Success, and Marketing to gain a deeper understanding of the market, ensure every new client experiences a smooth transition and immediate value realization, and continuously refine your sales approach.

What we are looking for…

• Proven Sales Drive: At least 1 year of closing experience in B2B SaaS sales, including the application of sales methodologies such as MEDDICC
• Quota Success: You have consistently achieved or overachieved your sales targets, demonstrating resilience and strong execution.
• Outstanding Communicator & Influencer: You connect naturally with people, inspire trust, and influence decision-makers, including C-level executives, through clarity, confidence, and energy.
• CRM Discipline: You bring a high degree of self-discipline and experience using CRM systems such as HubSpot. You take pride in keeping your pipeline clean, organized, and always up to date – it’s how you stay in control.
• Education & Experience: You hold a bachelor’s degree or bring equivalent relevant work experience.
• Language Skills: You are a native-level German speaker and business-fluent in English.
