What you need to be successful
You have 5–10 years of experience in IT or professional services sales, ideally in consulting, cloud transformation, or enterprise solution delivery. You have a proven record of selling high-value, multi-year consulting engagements—not software licenses—and can hunt and develop new enterprise accounts, with prospecting representing a significant portion of your activity.
Experience with Atlassian tools is desirable, but expertise in transformation and organizational change is more important.
You are target-driven and excel in a performance-oriented environment, consistently converting opportunities into results. You bring strong strategic thinking, developing and executing account and territory plans based on data and market insights, and you navigate complex sales cycles to close high-value deals. You naturally build trust and long-term relationships with C-level executives and key stakeholders through a consultative, client-centric approach.
You have an entrepreneurial mindset, proactively identifying opportunities to improve processes, lead initiatives, and enhance performance. Leadership skills are a plus, including the ability to inspire and guide a team, set clear goals, and deliver results.
A strong communicator, you clearly present ideas to clients and internal stakeholders, influencing decisions at the executive level.
You are comfortable dealing with clients in English & German.
If you are ready to develop strategic accounts, achieve ambitious goals, and make a real impact, we would love to hear from you.
