We are motivated individuals who tackle unique technical challenges at scale and solve them as a team. Together, we deliver innovative and ethical solutions that help businesses achieve their ambitions faster.

We’re looking for an experienced and motivated leader to join our Sales Management team. Here at Adyen, we have no boundaries or limitations when it comes to sourcing customers - any region, size, or vertical. An unobvious approach, this freedom allows for creative and motivated Account Executives to have limitless opportunities and help close some of the largest brands in DACH and internationally, including Zalando, Uber, Spotify, McDonalds, Breuninger, Trade Republic, and many others.

What you’ll do:

• Lead a part of our Sales Team across the DACH Region, reporting into the Head of Sales & Partnerships DACH
• Scale the organization to meet our growth targets and to capture the demand of Adyen’s platform across segments, verticals, and offerings.

• Be a purposeful and empathetic change agent, embracing the ways of selling that make Adyen unique and desirable to customers while also bringing a fresh perspective on how we can operate at scale.

Who you are:

• A senior leader comfortable scaling the Sales organization further in the coming years and end-to-end owning the commercial success of the region with the regional President. Experience managing managers is a requirement.
• Extensive experience working in an Enterprise B2B context where sales cycles are long (6-18 months) and the sales approach is high-touch and consultative.
• Experience with transactional volume based (as opposed to SaaS/seat-based) commercial models.
• Experience in maintaining the most senior executive relationships at very large Enterprise prospects and helping close those deals.
• Data-driven in making decisions, setting goals, and driving success in the organization, while also embracing ‘hands on’ sales and qualitative metrics of success.
• Pragmatic way of working, high energy, has a creative mindset about dealmaking, manages & supports the team from the front lines and not from behind desk & reports.
