At Secfix, we’re at the forefront of automating security compliance in Europe. We help companies get and stay ISO 27001, GDPR, TISAX, and SOC 2 fast and easy and reduce hundreds of hours of manual work.
Secfix is run by a 100% remote team with hubs in Munich, Berlin and London. We’re a high-performing team looking for passionate, execution-focused, owners to help us automate security and compliance for modern companies and become the European compliance automation leader.
We’ve just raised our $12M Series A and are backed by top VCs, including Alstin Capital, Neosfer (Commerzbank), and Bayern Capital.
About the Role
We’re hiring an SMB Account Executive to run our fast-moving SMB sales motion in the DACH region.
This is a plug-and-play, high-velocity motion — around 80% of your pipeline comes to you inbound or pre-qualified by our BDR team, so most of your time is spent qualifying, demoing, and closing rather than prospecting from scratch.
This is an ideal first AE role for a BDR (ideally already promoted to Senior BDR) with ~1–2 years of experience who is hungry to make the jump into a closing role or an experienced AE who enjoys the high-velocity SMB sales cycle.
What You'll Do:
You will play a big role in one of the biggest levers we have for growing the company: generating demand and closing deals . We don’t (and can’t afford to) micro-manage. We have gathered many best practices and will give you full context on things that work. You will:
Own and drive net-new revenue across SMB accounts in DACH, working primarily from inbound and BDR-sourced pipeline (~80%), while self-generating the rest (~20%)
Manage the full sales cycle from qualification to close on a fast, ~30-day average sales cycle
Run structured discovery and demo calls, qualifying leads efficiently against a clear framework
Engage SMB decision-makers (founders, ops leads, and similar)
Translate compliance and security topics into clear, fast business value
Collaborate closely with the BDR team, product, and onboarding
Maintain accurate pipeline and forecasts in HubSpot
Share market feedback to help refine SMB qualification, pitch, and playbook
About You:
~1–2 years of experience as a BDR, ideally already promoted to Senior BDR, looking for your first AE role; or an experienced AE who enjoys the high-velocity SMB sales cycle
Competitive and hungry to close deals
You live sales and are always looking to learn and improve — we’re not looking for a fully “finished” or multi-threading-capable seller, the role will develop that
Comfortable operating in a fast, high-volume, demo-driven sales motion
Ability to communicate clearly and confidently in German
Coachable — you’ll be closely supported and coached by our Head of Sales
Familiarity with sales tools (HubSpot, Clay, Apollo) is a plus
Munich-based, or willing to be for in-person interview and onboarding stages
Nice-to-have:
Some exposure to demo calls or closing, even informally
Experience in an early-stage startup environment
Academic or extracurricular track record of high achievement (top university, competitive sports, etc.)
Exposure to compliance, information security, risk, or GRC topics
What we offer

Please note: We are an equal-opportunity employer and remote-only company. At this time, we can support hiring only within EU time zones. We work in sync using Gather as our virtual office. As a small fast-growing company, we believe in the need for an in-sync component of daily communication and therefore cannot support 100% asynchronous work. Read more about our Remote Culture here .
