About the Role

We are redefining traditional agency models by empowering modern e-commerce brands to scale efficiently and agilely. As a German-Speaking Account Executive, your primary focus will be opening and setting opportunities—converting warm, marketing-generated leads into high-value clients through a consultative, discovery-driven approach.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, possess a strong hunter mentality, and want direct exposure to D2C founders generating up to €50M in revenue, this role offers rapid career progression toward full closing or leadership positions.

Key Responsibilities

• Inbound Lead Conversion: Conduct first-contact discovery calls with warm, pre-qualified inbound leads delivered daily by marketing.
• Discovery-Driven Selling: Analyze business models, shop KPIs, and key operational bottlenecks rather than relying on standard pitches.
• Rigorous Qualification: Maintain high standards by filter-qualifying prospects and declining poor-fit accounts to ensure maximum sales efficiency.
• Pipeline & CRM Ownership: Manage your sales pipeline end-to-end with high CRM hygiene, timely follow-ups, and precise forecasting.
• Market Insights: Collect and relay client feedback to internal product and marketing teams to continuously sharpen outreach strategies.
• Events & Representation: Attend key e-commerce trade fairs, congresses, and industry events to engage direct decision-makers.

Requirements

Must-Haves:

• Language Proficiency: C1/Native-level fluent German (spoken and written) with flawless articulation.
• B2B Sales Track Record: 1–3+ years in B2B sales, tele-sales, SDR/BDR, SaaS, or agency environments.
• Hunter Mindset: High discipline, self-driven motivation, resilience under performance pressure, and comfort with proactive engagement.
• Financial Acumen: Practical understanding of P&L structures and contribution margins (Deckungsbeitrag).
• On-Site Presence: Ability to work 4 days per week in our Munich office.

Nice-to-Haves:

• Direct experience in the e-commerce, D2C, or agency advisory sectors.
• Experience in specialized opening/setting roles within complex B2B services.

What We Offer

• Competitive Compensation: Attractive €50,000 – €100,000 base package with structured performance commission opportunities.
• High-Quality Lead Flow: Daily inbound leads and exclusive e-commerce benchmark data provided directly by marketing.
• Career Growth: Clear fast-track advancement from opening/setting to full-cycle closing or strategic management roles.
