About the role

We're hiring a Strategic Account Executive to win and grow strategic enterprise accounts. You will own the commercial outcome, from pipeline creation to close, by practicing insight-led selling: reframing the customer's initial problem, quantifying the cost of inaction, and mobilizing buying committees around a compelling "why now."

You'll lead multi-stakeholder enterprise cycles with CFO/CIO/Shared Services/Procurement leadership, partnering closely with Solutions Engineering, Marketing, and Customer Success to run disciplined deal plans, deliver value-based proposals, and land enterprise rollouts.

What you'll own

Pipeline creation and territory strategy

• Build and execute a territory/account plan: target accounts, stakeholders, sequencing, and multi-threading strategy.

• Create net-new pipeline through outbound prospecting, partner motion, events, and customer referrals.

• Maintain disciplined pipeline hygiene and forecasting, and report proactively on progress, risks, and what you need from the organization.

Insight-led selling and deal shaping

• Practice insight selling: challenge the customer's initial framing and introduce a sharper point of view on where value is trapped (exceptions, approvals, master data, controls).

• Run executive discovery to uncover operational bottlenecks and decision friction, and translate it into a crisp target-state narrative, urgency, and mutual action plan.

• Build internal alignment across CFO/CIO-led buying committees, including champions, economic buyers, IT/security, and process owners.

Commercial ownership: value case, negotiation, and close

• Own the business case, pricing strategy, proposals, negotiation, and contracting.

• Quantify and communicate value (capacity release, cycle time reduction, control/compliance improvements, stack simplification) and tie it to executive priorities and budget.

• Drive the deal to closure with clear next steps, strong deal governance, and accurate forecasting.

Orchestration across presales and delivery

• Partner with Solutions Engineers to run workshops/demos and de-risk technical concerns (security, integration, rollout).

• Align with Customer Success on implementation readiness, success criteria, and expansion paths.

• Ensure clean handoffs from close to kickoff, maintaining continuity of value narrative and outcomes.

Competitive positioning

• Position blp against point tools and fragmented stacks (OCR/IDP/workflow/process mining/RPA) with an "end-to-end + exceptions-first" narrative.

• Anticipate and neutralize competitive plays with crisp differentiation and proof.

What we're looking for

Must-haves

• 5–10+ years of enterprise B2B SaaS selling experience (or equivalent complex solution sales), with a consistent track record of hitting/exceeding targets.

• Proven ability to run insight-led enterprise sales cycles: you can respectfully push back, quantify impact, and mobilize buying committees.

• Strong executive presence with CFO/CIO/Head of Shared Services and comfort navigating enterprise procurement.

• Ability to manage complex, multi-threaded deals: mutual action plans, MEDDICC-style qualification, forecasting discipline.

• Strong collaboration with presales/SE and post-sales teams; you sell what can be delivered.

Strong plus

• ERP/SAP exposure (S/4, ECC, Public/Private Cloud) or selling into finance/procurement/shared services transformations.

• Experience selling automation platforms (workflow/RPA/process mining/IDP) and winning against incumbents.

• Experience with global enterprise rollouts and multi-country stakeholders.

Language

• Fluent in English and German (or another major European language depending on territory).

What you'll get

• A product that wins. Strong differentiation and real enterprise proof points.

• Uncapped earnings. High, realistic OTEs with uncapped commission.

• Real ownership. Employee-owned company; choose annually to take variable compensation in cash or shares.

• Growth and autonomy. Build your path in a rapidly scaling, international company.

• Continuous learning. Structured onboarding plus ongoing coaching.

• Exceptional team. Ambitious, collaborative colleagues who push each other to excellence.
