About the Role

We're a fast-growing, Berlin-based B2B SaaS company in the business messaging and customer communications space — think omnichannel inbox, WhatsApp Business API, and beyond. Founded in 2020 and backed by top-tier European investors, we have 51–200 employees and are scaling quickly across the DACH region and beyond.

We're looking for a Senior Account Executive for Mid-Market to join our Sales team on-site in Berlin. This is a pivotal role: you'll be building and owning a new segment from the ground up, shaping the go-to-market playbook, and driving measurable revenue growth. If you thrive in an ownership-heavy, startup environment and want to leave a real mark on a company's trajectory, this is for you.

What You'll Do

  • Build the Mid-Market sales segment independently — defining target customers, deal structures, and prioritization frameworks.

  • Own the full end-to-end sales cycle: from first qualification through discovery, presentation, negotiation, close, and handover to Customer Success.

  • Manage and prioritize your pipeline with clean, accurate data in HubSpot CRM.

  • Develop deep expertise in the product, market landscape, and competitive alternatives to position the solution strategically.

  • Analyze performance against core KPIs, identify conversion bottlenecks, and implement concrete improvements to messaging and process.

  • Collaborate closely with Marketing, RevOps, and Customer Success to build a scalable, repeatable Mid-Market sales motion.

  • Work on-site in our Berlin office as a full-time, embedded member of a cross-functional, motivated team.

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

  • At least 2 years (ideally 3–5 years) of B2B sales experience in a SaaS or tech environment.

  • Proven experience managing pipelines and maintaining CRM data quality — HubSpot experience is required.

  • Track record of owning mid-market deals end-to-end, or strong demonstrated readiness to do so.

  • Native-level German proficiency — this is a dealbreaker requirement.

  • Minimum Bachelor's degree.

  • Consultative, structured, solution-oriented sales approach — not a push-sales mentality.

  • Experience (or strong motivation) to independently build new segments, markets, or sales approaches.

  • Ability to work cross-functionally with Marketing, RevOps, and Customer Success.

  • Data-driven mindset: comfortable analyzing KPIs and translating insights into action.

Nice-to-haves:

  • English proficiency in addition to German.

  • Experience in a fast-growing startup or scale-up environment.

  • Background at companies such as Intercom, Front, Trengo, Zendesk, or similar B2B SaaS players.

Location & Work Arrangement

  • On-site in Berlin, Germany (Prenzlauer Berg / Berlin-Pankow area).

  • Full-time, permanent position.

  • Visa sponsorship is not available — candidates must have the right to work in Germany or Austria.

Compensation & Benefits

Compensation details are available upon application. You'll be joining a well-funded, high-growth team with a clear mission and strong momentum in the DACH market.
