About the role
Are you a sales professional with a passion for market disruption, value selling, and momentum-driven pipeline? Have you already internalized a sales process you can adapt from day one? And are you ready to help an ambitious vertical SaaS company dominate a new region? Wheelhouse is seeking our first Europe-based Account Executive to build our presence across E MEA . The ideal candidate brings quota-carrying sales experience , a creative yet d isciplined mentality , and the ability to manage a high-volume sales funnel while delivering consultative, value-driven product demonstrations to scaling short-term rental (STR) management companies. We're looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced SaaS startup environment and has a track record of owning the full sales cycle , from cold outreach to closed-won. T here are "founding" elements to the role as well; while Wheelhouse is one of the "big three" globally and deeply established in the US, our GTM is still newer in Europe - so you must be comfortable adapting proven processes for a new market , iterating based on regional feedback, and working directly alongside regional leadership to capture a massive, untapped opportunity. Success in this role requires a diligent, focused mindset , the ability to manage velocity without sacrificing relationship quality , and the chops to turn pipeline activity into predictable revenue. The ideal candidate is a collaborative self-starter who works well cross-functionally and cross-time-zone , coordinating with US and EU teams through clear communication and strong async habits -while always looking for ways to improve themselves, their territory, and our go-to-market motion. If you're energized by over-performing at a high-talent-density org, while getting in early and growing with us - we'd love to hear from you! We're looking for socially fluent and disciplined pipeline pro -someone who maintains velocity, loves converting skeptics into believers, and brings rigor to process. You are organized and driven, excited to speak with potential clients daily about revenue management software & trends. You excel at building trust quickly, listening to pain points, and demonstrating how Wheelhouse solves them.
