Account Manager - New Business – DACH & Benelux | Up to €45K + Uncapped OTE

Full-time | Hybrid | The Randstad

About the Employer

Our client is a fast-growing international SaaS company helping retailers create exceptional customer experiences and build long-term customer loyalty.

Its AI-powered technology enables retailers to better understand their customers, personalize interactions, increase conversion, and drive customer lifetime value. With approximately 400 employees and more than 500 retail brands across 100 markets, the company is continuing its international expansion across Europe.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a commercially minded, curious, and proactive Account Manager to help drive new business across the DACH (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and/or Benelux markets.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an international sales team, develop your B2B SaaS sales career, and help expand the company’s presence in key European markets.

This isn’t about making hundreds of random calls a day. You’ll research carefully selected retail and e-commerce brands, identify relevant decision-makers, understand their business challenges, and create personalized ways to start meaningful commercial conversations.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Identify and research promising retail and e-commerce brands across your target market.
• Reach out to potential customers through cold calling, LinkedIn, personalized emails, events, and other creative prospecting channels.
• Identify key decision-makers, including CRM Managers, E-commerce Managers, and CMOs.
• Research company growth strategies, challenges, and opportunities to tailor your outreach.
• Initiate conversations, qualify potential opportunities, and arrange meetings for the Sales team.
• Build and maintain a structured sales pipeline using CRM systems and modern sales tools.
• Collaborate with Sales, Marketing, and Partner Management to develop campaigns and strengthen the company’s market presence.
• Work towards clear commercial targets while continuously improving your prospecting approach.

What We’re Looking For

• Fluent German (Level C2) and English for the DACH market, or fluent Dutch (Level C2) and professional English for the Benelux market.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• A genuine interest in sales, business development, technology, and e-commerce.
• Confidence in approaching new people and a willingness to engage prospects through cold calling, LinkedIn, and email.
• A curious, proactive, and organized approach to researching companies and identifying opportunities.
• Resilience, initiative, and motivation to work towards measurable goals.
• An interest in developing a career in B2B SaaS sales.

Previous SDR or B2B SaaS experience is beneficial, but not essential. We’re equally interested in candidates with transferable experience, strong commercial potential, and the motivation to learn and grow.

What’s on Offer?

• Competitive base salary of up to €3,500 per month, depending on experience.
• Uncapped on-target earnings (OTE).
• 30 days of annual leave.
• Hybrid working in the Randstad.
• A collaborative, international environment with experienced colleagues across Europe.
• Genuine autonomy and the opportunity to contribute ideas and shape your market.
• Structured onboarding, ongoing learning, and opportunities to develop your sales skills.
• Regular international team summits and an annual company trip.
• Wellpass and additional company benefits.

Interested?

If you enjoy connecting with people, discovering new business opportunities, and combining research with creative outreach, this could be an excellent next step in your career.

You don’t need a perfect CV. We’re interested in your personality, motivation, and potential.

Important: Candidates must already have the right to work in the EU without limitations. A background check will be conducted for the successful candidate.
