German Account Executive

The organisation

We’re partnering with a fast-growing, PE-backed fintech player that’s redefining how businesses manage spend, expenses, and financial workflows across Europe. With strong product-market fit, a loyal customer base, and the backing of a major European software group, the company is entering a new phase of growth; and building a next-generation sales team to match.

The position

Why this opportunity stands out

• Backed and booming: Recently acquired by a major European group (Visma), unlocking significant investment, stability, and long-term growth potential
• New leadership, fresh vision: A newly appointed CEO (formerly long-standing CTO) is driving a product-led growth strategy and scaling mindset
• Right timing: A newly formed sales structure, new Head of Sales, and a push to bring in top-tier talent; you’ll help shape how things are built
• Proven product with momentum: Strong adoption in the mid-market segment, especially across Benelux and DACH, with continued investment in product innovation
• Clear growth path: Join early in this phase and position yourself for leadership or enterprise roles as the company scales

The role

As an Account Executive, you’ll focus on winning new business in the mid-market segment, owning the full sales cycle and building your own pipeline in collaboration with a high-performing SDR team.

You’ll be joining a tight-knit commercial team:

• 3 AEs + 1 Account Manager currently
• Dedicated SDR team (3 today, growing)
• New Head of Sales joining this month to scale and structure the team

Tasks & responsibilities

• Own the full sales cycle from prospecting to closing
• Build and manage your own pipeline, supported by SDRs
• Target mid-market companies across the Netherlands
• Run structured, consultative sales processes
• Collaborate closely with SDRs, marketing, and product teams
• Contribute to shaping sales strategy and best practices

Candidate profile

• 5+ years in SaaS sales, with at least 2-3 years in closing roles
• Proven success in mid-market new business (hunting mindset)
• German and English fluent 
• Based in or near Amsterdam
• Highly driven, proactive, and autonomous
• Structured in your approach, yet collaborative by nature
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, evolving environment

The offer

This is a young, ambitious, and collaborative team where:

• SDRs and AEs work closely together (yes, even cold calling side by side)
• Success is shared, not siloed
• Energy, accountability, and ownership are key
• Office presence is encouraged (2–3 days/week in central Amsterdam)

Compensation & benefits

• €120K OTE (approx. €70K base + €50K uncapped commission)
• Monthly net allowance
• Mobile phone budget
• Pension contribution (8.5%)
• Health/sickness coverage
• 25 days holiday
• Gym benefit & bike leasing scheme
• Travel reimbursement

Why you should consider this seriously

Opportunities like this don’t come around often; joining a well-funded fintech at the exact moment it resets leadership, refines its go-to-market, and invests heavily in growth.

If you want:

• Real ownership
• A product that actually sells
• A team that pushes each other
• And a company on the rise

…this is the kind of role that accelerates careers.
