Who You Are

Beyond the qualifications, we hire through a specific lens. These aren't buzzwords; they're the things we'll actually look for in how you talk about your work.

You're a builder, not a maintainer.

You're most energized when there isn't a clear path yet, and you get to define it. You don't wait for direction; you identify gaps, shape solutions, and drive them forward. At Pendo, great Senior Account Executives don't just follow instructions; they operate as strategic advisors, influencing decisions, guiding stakeholders, and elevating how we work.

You're AI-curious - genuinely.

You're not using AI tools occasionally. You're rewiring how you work around them. You're faster, sharper, and more prolific because of it, and you bring that energy to everything — how you approach your work, how you prep, how you communicate, how you think. We want someone who sees AI as a multiplier, not a shortcut.

Must-haves

• Strong track record of closing $500K–$1M+ enterprise SaaS deals across DACH.
• Experience selling into large, complex, matrixed organizations with multiple senior stakeholders and executive buyers.
• Proven success in a start-up or high-growth environment, with the ability to operate with structure, urgency, and ownership.
• Background selling Data, Analytics, AI, or enterprise technology solutions.
• Passion for AI and technology, with genuine curiosity about how AI is changing the way people work.
• Confident engagement style with C-level leaders, senior decision-makers, and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Structured, strategic, and highly self-driven approach to account planning, pipeline management, and deal execution.
• Fluent German and professional English.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience selling into DAX 40 prospect accounts or similarly large strategic enterprise accounts.
• Experience positioning AI-powered Data & Analytics solutions as part of broader digital transformation initiatives.
