About the Role

A fast-growing, seed-stage B2B SaaS startup in the AI-powered business communication space is looking for a German-speaking Account Executive to join their Vienna-based team. You'll run high-volume inbound demos for an AI phone assistant platform, own the end-to-end sales cycle, and play a key role in scaling revenue. No cold outreach — just a steady flow of prequalified inbound leads ready for you to convert.

What You'll Do

  • Conduct 8–16 qualified inbound demo and discovery calls per day, showcasing the platform's business value to SME prospects.

  • Own the full sales cycle from first contact through close, meeting monthly and quarterly quota targets.

  • Manage warm leads, execute structured follow-ups, and keep your CRM pipeline accurate and up to date.

  • Ensure smooth handovers to Customer Success post-close.

  • Feed customer insights back to Marketing and contribute to reliable sales forecasting.

  • Collaborate with teammates to continuously refine and optimise the sales motion in a rapidly scaling environment.

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

  • 1+ years of B2B SaaS sales experience with a proven track record of closing end-to-end deals along a defined funnel.

  • Native-level German fluency — essential for this role.

  • Experience handling high volumes of inbound demo appointments (8–16/day).

  • Comfort owning quota with clear monthly and quarterly targets.

  • Strong CRM hygiene discipline and experience with structured pipeline management.

  • Solid product and technical understanding enabling confident SaaS demonstrations.

  • Cross-functional collaboration experience with Marketing and Customer Success.

  • Ability to work on-site in Vienna (hybrid arrangements considered).

Nice-to-haves:

  • Experience in a startup or scale-up SaaS environment.

  • Proficiency with CRM platforms such as Salesforce or HubSpot, and data-driven forecasting.

  • Background in AI, telephony, or contact centre technologies.

Compensation & Benefits

  • OTE: €100,000–€150,000 (competitive base salary plus uncapped commission).

  • Top-of-the-line equipment — your choice.

  • Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
