We’re now looking for German-speaking Sales Account Executive – a pivotal role to drive our growth with existing and new customers in the German energy industry.

This is more than just a sales role: it’s a chance to shape how Volue engages with the local market, working with purpose, autonomy, and an experienced international team passionate about solving meaningful challenges.

What You’ll Do:

As a Sales Account Executive, you will own the full sales cycle – from identifying and qualifying opportunities to closing deals – while building strong, long-term customer partnerships. Your work will directly support utilities, power producers and energy traders in navigating complexity and maximising value.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing strong, trust-based relationships with stakeholders across all levels and building champions on customer side.
• Building repeatable, scalable sales motions tailored to Growth segment (small Medium Size customers) buyer needs.
• Partnering with Marketing to build targeted campaigns and demand programs.
• Collaborating with Customer Success to ensure seamless onboarding and expansion.
• Acting as a voice of the customer — bringing back market intelligence, competitive insights, and customer feedback.
• Leading the full sales process: identifying leads, qualifying opportunities, delivering compelling demos, negotiating terms, and closing.
• Collaborating with Sales Development Reps, Solution Consultants, Sales Engineers, and Delivery teams to present tailored solutions.
• Winning new logos and expanding Volue’s footprint in the German energy market segment
• Managing your pipeline effectively, maintaining CRM up-to-date and reporting your forecast
• Championing customer needs internally to ensure successful onboarding and long-term satisfaction.

What You Bring:

We’re looking for a results-driven professional who understands the energy landscape and thrives in a fast-moving environment. You combine strategic thinking with a hands-on, entrepreneurial approach.

You’ll need:

• A degree in business, economics, engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum 3 years’ experience selling enterprise software, with proven success in B2B/SaaS sales
• First‑hand experience in the energy industry is required; strong understanding of energy market trends, needs and challenges - with the focus on Germany.
• Demonstrated ability to sell complex, consultative solutions to both technical and business stakeholders.
• Strong hunter mentality, with a consistent track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets
• Proficient in using CRM systems with high discipline and transparency in sales reporting.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and relationship‑building skills.
• Native‑level proficiency in German and fluent in English (written and spoken); international experience is a plus.

You’re someone who:

• Has a customer‑first mindset and a drive to solve real‑world problems.
• Is commercially sharp, with the creativity to uncover and articulate value.
• Thrives in an autonomous role but collaborates effectively across teams.
• Loves learning, welcomes feedback, and seeks continuous improvement.
• Is inspired by the mission of building a more sustainable energy future.

Why Join Volue?

• Purpose with Impact: Help shape a cleaner, more efficient energy system and be part of Europe’s green tech leadership.
