Résumé du poste

Xeneta is seeking an Enterprise Account Executive to lead high-value sales across Europe, advising large enterprises on how our market intelligence informs procurement decisions.

You will own accounts and pipeline across EMEA, collaborating with SDRs, pre-sales, and services to close deals, while building quantified business cases and guiding stakeholders from day-to-day users to senior executives.

Hybrid role with offices in London, Hamburg, Oslo, Bucharest or Copenhagen, or remote in Europe.

Qualifications

• 4-5+ years of consulting experience, ideally including client work where you won follow-on projects or grew existing accounts.

• Supply chain experience, from procurement or supply chain operations, with an understanding of how shippers run procurement and logistics. Ocean or air freight experience is a plus, and road freight experience is equally welcome.
• Intellectual flexibility: you adapt quickly, make a well-reasoned case, and negotiate and present with confidence at senior level.
• The ability to bring others together and build a team to deliver on complex problems.
• A structured, hypothesis-driven approach to building and defending a quantified business case.
• Fluent written and spoken English; other European languages are welcome.

Responsabilités

• Lead the opportunity through discovery, evaluation, proposal and senior-level negotiation.
• Deliver a steady flow of new customers by managing several complex sales cycles in parallel and giving each the attention it needs.
• Advise customers on how Xeneta's data applies to their business, and build a quantified, analysis-driven business case for each opportunity.
• Map the buying process in every account and bring the right stakeholders in procurement, supply chain and finance on board.
• Collaborate with our internal commercial teams across marketing, events, partnerships, pre-sales, experts, professional services and Xeneta executives.
• Keep MEDDPIC, a written closing plan, and an accurate forecast current on every opportunity.
