* Share pricing, product, and ideal customer profile insights with company leadership and the product team.

* Document the sales playbook for future account executive hires.

What We're Looking For

* At least 3 years of experience closing complex enterprise B2B SaaS deals.

* A track record of personally closing deals with six-figure annual contract values and consistently attaining meaningful quota over multiple sales cycles.

* Experience selling enterprise software for supply chain management, vendor or supplier management, accounts payable, budget control, or a comparable area.

* Strong stakeholder-mapping skills and experience navigating complex enterprise buying committees.

* Full professional proficiency in both German and English.

* Experience owning the complete enterprise sales cycle, including discovery, demos, procurement, security reviews, negotiation, and expansion.
