Founding Account Executive SMB | Dutch Market (m/f/d)

About This Opportunity

We are representing a profitable, well-funded messaging platform serving thousands of businesses across Europe. Our client is entering an exciting growth phase in the Netherlands and needs a founding Account Executive to own the Dutch market from the ground up.

This is a true founding role. You'll be the first commercial hire dedicated to the Netherlands, building the playbook as you go. You'll own the full sales cycle—qualifying inbound leads, running product demos, and closing deals—while shaping how our client sells into the Dutch SMB market. If you want to join an established team with a ready-made process, this isn't for you. If you want to be the one who sets the tone and builds the motion, keep reading.

Responsibilities

• Qualify and engage inbound leads from Dutch SMBs, booking and running product demonstrations
• Present the platform's capabilities in fluent Dutch, adapting your pitch to each prospect's specific use case
• Close deals end-to-end, guiding prospects from first call through contract signature
• Act as the voice of the Dutch market internally, feeding back objections, patterns, and insights to improve the sales process
• Maintain a clean pipeline and reliable CRM hygiene without needing reminders
• Collaborate with the broader sales team on training, best practices, and knowledge-sharing
• Hand off closed customers smoothly to the Customer Success team for onboarding

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

• Native Dutch speaker with excellent written and verbal communication skills in both Dutch and English
• Self-confident communicator who can run and close conversations without arrogance
• Comfortable with ambiguity—you're energized by building process, not just following it
• Coachable: you take direct feedback, apply it immediately, and improve visibly call-to-call
• Resilient: you bounce back quickly from lost deals and maintain consistent activity levels
• Fast learner who can absorb technical product details and explain them clearly to customers
• Structured and disciplined with pipeline management and CRM documentation

Not a fit if you:

• Take feedback personally or repeat the same mistakes without adjustment
• Struggle with clear, professional written communication in emails or CRM notes
• Are chasing a paycheck with no genuine interest in the craft of selling
• Prefer joining an established team rather than being the first to set the tone

Location: Berlin-based role with strong preference for in-office collaboration. Our client values in-person energy and believes the best ideas happen when the team is together. Some remote flexibility is available, but the default is being in the office.
