Account Executive - Net New - E&C
Mainland Europe
€100,000 - €110,000
.You know how to handle a complex enterprise sale. Long cycles, multiple stakeholders, technical products, and plenty of moving parts before a deal gets signed. You’ve sold into energy before, and you understand how to turn operational challenges into a strong commercial conversation.
As an Account Executive, you’ll focus entirely on winning net new business across Engineering & Construction, owning opportunities from the first conversation through to close. You’ll sell complex ERP, APM or operational software, build relationships with senior buyers, and keep deals moving with a clear focus on monthly and quarterly performance.
This is a role for someone who likes being out in the market and creating their own momentum. If you’re commercially sharp, independent, and motivated by landing significant new customers, you’ll have the freedom to take ownership of the sales process and make your results count.
