Responsibilities

• Lead a pod of AEs to consistent quota attainment, with fast ramp times and high productivity per head.
• Carry an individual quota and personally close deals, leading by example on complex, multi-stakeholder cycles.
• Run weekly pipeline reviews and hands-on deal coaching that surface real risk, accelerate cycle time, and improve win rates without adding bureaucracy.
• Coach AEs on discovery, qualification, value articulation and objection handling, building the skills and habits that compound over time.
• Own forecast accuracy for your pod and report cleanly into the VP of Sales, taking full accountability for the numbers you commit to.
• Hire, onboard and develop AEs, raising the bar with each addition to the team.
• Partner with the VP of Sales to refine the playbook, sharing what works on the ground and feeding insight back into training and enablement.
• Stay current on ERP and AI automation trends to position BLP credibly against competitors in senior-level conversations.

Requirements

• Native-level German and strong professional fluency in English.
• 5+ years of B2B software sales experience, ideally in SaaS or enterprise technology, selling complex solutions to senior business and technical buyers.
• Track record of consistent quota attainment carrying a meaningful enterprise number, with at least one to two years of direct people leadership or formal pod lead experience.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multi-stakeholder buying groups across Finance, Procurement, Operations, IT and Sales.
• Comfortable in fast-scaling environments where structure is still being built rather than inherited.
