The Role

We are currently seeking an Account Executive to join our growing Sales Team in Switzerland!

We are looking for an experienced, quota-carrying sales professional eager to help drive Addepar’s expansion in the Swiss market and establish us as the financial platform of choice for the wealth management industry. As one of the first hires in this region, the Account Executive will play a key role in driving new ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) by engaging with RIAs (Registered Investment Advisors), Single and Multi-Family Offices, and Private Banks.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to our growth in a new region, helping to shape Addepar’s presence in Switzerland and the broader DACH region. You will work closely with our global sales, marketing, and product teams to build relationships with key financial institutions and drive the adoption of Addepar’s platform.

What You’ll Do

At Addepar, you will have the opportunity to reshape the industry and usher in a new era of technology innovation across the Wealth Management Sector for Wealth Managers and Family offices. This role is for someone who has shown to be a thought and execution leader, partnering with the client and your Addepar colleagues to ensure a world-class client experience throughout the entire client journey from pre-sale to post-sale.

The Account Executive is expected to own and drive the strategy for this sector and lead the sales cycle with a cross-functional team. 

  • Develop a strategic sales plan to effectively cover key accounts in your assigned territory, including Swiss and European financial institutions.
  • Manage lead qualification and conversion from large financial firms, focusing on Private Banks, Family Offices, and Wealth Managers.
  • Proactively prospect and build new relationships with named accounts, establishing Addepar as a trusted solution.
  • Travel as required to meet with prospects and clients and attend marketing events across Switzerland and Europe (approximately 40-50% travel, depending on local guidelines and business needs).
