Team Lead Account Executives

About the Role

This is a hands-on sales leadership position at a fast-growing AI procurement platform for the industrial sector. You will own a customer segment in the DACH market, lead a team of around five Account Executives, and carry a personal quota, all while shaping go-to-market strategy in a largely untapped market. The role sits at the intersection of coaching, deal execution, and strategic growth, making it a rare opportunity to build something significant from the ground up.

What You'll Do

Lead and develop a team of approximately five Account Executives to capture a large greenfield opportunity across the DACH region.

Close deals personally against a quota while coaching the team to exceed collective targets.

Partner with founders and sales leadership to shape and execute go-to-market strategy for a new market.

Engage directly in critical customer conversations to guide deal strategy, support negotiations, and strengthen business case development.

Implement and coach structured sales methodologies, including MEDDIC, to improve discovery, negotiation, and pipeline management.

Drive team performance through metrics tracking, pipeline reviews, and action planning to increase win rates and deal velocity.

Deliver measurable value to procurement teams in industrial companies, helping them optimize costs, reduce supply chain risks, and meet regulatory requirements.

Identify and apply AI-driven workflows to accelerate team productivity and share best practices across the broader sales organisation.

3 or more years as an Account Executive in B2B SaaS with complex, non-transactional sales cycles.

At least 1 year in a formal sales leadership role, ideally within a high-growth SaaS environment.

Experience coaching a sales team of around five, including hands-on deal support and structured performance management.

Familiarity with structured sales methodologies such as MEDDIC and the ability to teach and reinforce them in practice.
