We are looking for a Director, Enterprise Sales to join our growing Enterprise business in Germany. You will lead a team of up to Eight Enterprise Account Executives covering Enterprise accounts across a mix of industries.

This is a fantastic opportunity to build upon a highly capable team within a fast-growing and impactful part of our German sales organisation.

2. Within your first 90 days, you’ll create a clear regional growth and investment plan, demonstrating a bias for action and a focus on measurable impact.
3. You’ll build and sponsor trusted relationships with customers and partners to drive long-term success in the region — staying customer-obsessed in everything you do.
4. You’ll ensure accurate forecasting and create a predictable, high-growth business that reflects a company-first mindset and commitment to sustainable results.
5. You’ll coach your team to lead with strong vision setting and methodology-based selling, staying aligned with customers’ goals and outcomes — helping them raise the bar through excellence and accountability.
6. You’ll develop a solid understanding of our product’s technical details and roadmap to earn trust with key stakeholders and make customer-obsessed decisions that drive long-term value.
7. You’ll embrace truth-seeking by making decisions based on data — and adapting quickly as the data evolves.
What we look for:
8. A proven people leader with 5+ years of experience leading high-performing Enterprise sales teams selling into strategic/Enterprise accounts in Germany.
9. A proven track record of developing high-performing teams in high-growth Data, AI, Cloud, or SaaS/Tech companies, consistently exceeding ambitious sales goals.
10. A demonstrated ability to identify and develop top talent — building teams that raise the bar through trust, accountability, and shared success.
11. An understanding of how to balance usage-based, commit-based, and service-based revenue models — and how to leverage them to drive sustainable growth.
12. A track record of building strong partner ecosystems, acting as an executive sponsor to expand relationships and unlock customer value.
13. A strong focus on methodology-based sales coaching (e.g., MEDDPICC) and a challenger mentality.
14. Accurate forecasting and a disciplined approach to sales execution.
15. Fluency in German and English is required
16. Willing and able to travel to customer sites, regional and international industry and company events.
