Team Lead Account Executives

About the Role

This is a hands-on sales leadership position at a fast-growing B2B SaaS company serving industrial Mittelstand customers across the DACH region. You will carry a personal quota while leading a team of approximately five Account Executives, owning a greenfield market opportunity and shaping the go-to-market strategy that drives it forward. The role sits at the intersection of people development, deal execution, and commercial strategy, making it a rare opportunity for a player-coach who wants real impact.

- Join critical customer conversations to guide deal strategy, reduce risk, and support negotiations and business case development.
- Build a high-performing team through structured training, hands-on deal support, and performance management.
- Implement and coach structured sales methodologies, including MEDDIC, to sharpen discovery, negotiation, and pipeline discipline.
- Drive performance through metrics tracking, pipeline reviews, and action planning to increase win rates and deal velocity.
- Identify AI-driven workflows that accelerate team productivity and share best practices across the wider sales organisation.

What We're Looking For

- 3 or more years as an Account Executive in B2B SaaS, with a focus on complex, non-transactional sales cycles.
- At least 1 year in a sales leadership role, ideally within a high-growth SaaS environment.
- A consistent, demonstrable track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets.
- Experience coaching a sales team and providing hands-on deal support and performance management.
- Ability to apply and teach structured sales methodologies such as MEDDIC.
- Experience contributing to go-to-market strategy in a new or underpenetrated market.
