Account Executive (Founding)

Responsibilities

• As the (Founding) Account Executive for Germany, your role is to build Coverflex’s presence in the German market by driving new business, closing deals, and helping companies rethink how they manage compensation and benefits
• You’ll be responsible for owning the full sales cycle from first contact to closing while also helping shape how we sell in Germany
• Because this is a founding role, you won’t just execute an existing playbook — you’ll help create it
• In the early stages, you’ll generate a significant portion of your own pipeline, experiment with outbound approaches, and contribute insights that will define Coverflex’s go-to-market strategy in the region

• You’ll help build structure where it doesn’t fully exist yet, contributing to playbooks, processes, and feedback loops that will shape how our GTM motion works in Germany
• The role requires high activity volume — calls, emails, follow-ups, and constant pipeline movement. Staying sharp and consistent is key
• Not every lead will convert. Rejection and persistence are part of the job, and resilience matters
• You’ll handle multiple deals at different stages simultaneously, which requires organization and strong prioritisation
• You’ll need to learn fast, adapt your pitch, and improve week after week based on feedback and results
• Success comes from consistent execution, not occasional big wins
