Description du poste

Pick up the phone. Close deals. Help us grow in Oslo.

Most deals are won in the work nobody sees: the calls, the follow-ups and the no's along the way. At Simployer, we make sure that work pays off.

We're a growing SaaS company simplifying work-life for employers through modern HR tech.

Every employer has people to manage, so every employer needs what we sell. And they already know our name. We help HR leaders, CFOs and CEOs across the Nordics get people processes right, and our Oslo sales team needs another person who knows how to create their own opportunities.

Here, you'll get a proper start. You'll get structured onboarding and coaching from experienced senior AEs, plus AI tools that take the admin off your plate so you can spend more time selling. If you perform, there's a clear path to Senior AE.

We're looking for someone who gets excited by questions like:

• What does it take to turn a cold call into a closed deal?
• How do you find the problem a customer hasn't put into words yet?

As our Account Executive, you'll build your own pipeline from scratch and learn to take deals all the way from first call to signed contract.

Your mission

Create new business for Simployer among small and medium-sized businesses (SMB) in Norway. Most of your pipeline will be outbound. That means you'll find the companies, start the conversations and book the meetings yourself. You'll learn to understand what our customers actually need, handle their objections and follow up until there's a decision. Step by step, you'll take on full sales cycles and bigger deals.

You'll join a team with a great culture. We share what works, ring the bell when deals close and celebrate the wins together, whether that's at the office or out doing something fun as a team.

You’ll thrive here if..

• You've booked your own meetings through cold calls, email or LinkedIn, and you know how much grit that takes
• You've worked with a budget or clear KPIs, and you know your numbers
• You bounce back from a no and pick up the phone again
• You ask good questions and actually listen to the answers
• You plan your week and follow through without someone checking on you
• You want feedback, and you use it
• You're always looking for what you could do better, even after a good month

What you bring:

We are not big on long checklists, and if the mission resonates with you, we would love to hear from you. That said, a few things matter: you've worked in sales where you had to find your own customers and hit clear targets. You have a bachelor's degree and speak and write Norwegian and English fluently. The role is based in our Oslo office.

You don't need to have owned the full sales cycle yet. But you do need to be proactive, eager to learn and ready for the challenge.

Message from the hiring manager:

Hi, I'm Line, Sales Manager at Simployer. My team is driven, supportive and honest with each other. We push hard, help each other get better and have a lot of fun along the way. Our goal is to become the team others benchmark against. I'm looking for someone who isn't afraid of the phone, learns fast and is never quite satisfied with good enough. If you want to grow, work hard, have fun getting there and have a winning mindset, I'd love to hear from you.
