Job description

Dublin | German-speaking | High-growth SaaS

I'm working with a high-growth North American technology company as they build out their first European team from Dublin. Following significant success in their home market, they're investing in Europe and looking for an experienced German-speaking Account Executive to help drive their expansion across the DACH region.

This isn't about joining an established European sales organisation and inheriting someone else's playbook. You'll be joining at the beginning - with the opportunity to build the market, influence how the European GTM function develops and have a genuine impact on the company's international growth.

The opportunity

You'll:

• Own the full sales cycle across the DACH market
• Develop and close new business with mid-market and enterprise customers
• Build relationships with senior stakeholders across target accounts
• Work closely with SDR, Marketing and Customer Success to develop the region
• Help shape the messaging and GTM approach for the German market
• Bring market feedback directly into the wider commercial organisation
• Join a small, ambitious team establishing the company's European presence from Dublin

What we're looking for

• Fluent/native-level German
• Strong track record of winning new business and closing complex deals
• Experience owning a full sales cycle
• Comfortable prospecting and creating your own opportunities alongside SDR-generated pipeline
• Commercial, curious and confident engaging senior stakeholders
• Excited by the idea of joining an early European team rather than a mature sales organisation

Why consider it?

The company is already established and successful - this isn't an early-stage startup risk - but Europe still has the feel and opportunity of building something from the ground up.

That creates a fairly unique combination:

Proven company + early European expansion + significant individual impact.

For the right person, there's real opportunity to establish themselves as an early member of the European organisation and grow as the team and region scale.
