Your Mission

• Own and drive the full enterprise sales cycle from targeted outbound and first meetings through to closing and handover.
• Build and execute structured account plans for strategic customers, including stakeholder maps, key initiatives, and growth paths.
• Run value‑based, multi‑stakeholder deal cycles that connect customer pain points with SPREAD’s software solutions.
• Develop and deepen relationships with senior decision‑makers (up to C‑level) and act as a trusted advisor for your accounts.
• Identify, shape, and realise up‑ and cross‑sell opportunities to expand existing accounts and increase customer lifetime value.
• Prepare and deliver focused demos, workshops, and presentations tailored to technical and commercial audiences.
• Lead commercial and contract negotiations independently and secure sustainable, mutually beneficial agreements in the enterprise segment.
• Maintain a healthy, well‑qualified pipeline with disciplined forecasting and documentation, while sharing customer insights with internal teams.

Your Experience

• 5+ years of B2B enterprise sales experience for SaaS, software solutions, or software development/engineering services, with full‑cycle ownership from prospecting to closing.
• Proven track record in value‑based, consultative sales, translating customer pains into solution concepts, and quantifying business impact.
• Experience selling into complex industrial or mechatronic environments such as automotive, aerospace, defence, heavy machinery, rolling stock, or similar.
• Evidence of successfully closing multi‑stakeholder enterprise deals with long cycles and significant contract values (six‑figure ARR or comparable project sizes).
• Strong outbound track record: you systematically build your own pipeline, multi‑thread accounts, and are comfortable with cold outreach to new logos.
• Consistent quota attainment over several years and stable tenures in previous roles, demonstrating resilience and long‑term customer development.
• Excellent communication and negotiation skills in German and English, including confidence in working with senior leadership and C‑level stakeholders.
• Structured, analytical way of working that lets you prioritise complex opportunities, manage multiple deals in parallel, and naturally use CRM systems to keep your pipeline clean and forecastable.
