You pick up a prospect who has agreed to a conversation but has not yet decided they want the product, work out how Kaiko fits their operation, show them, and carry it through to a signed pilot. Our buyers are technical, conservative and relationship-driven, so the work is in understanding how they run their fleet well enough to be credible.\nTasks\nTake the meetings our SDRs book: Read the handover notes and come to the first call already knowing the company, the fleet, and what prompted the conversation.\nRun discovery that finds the real problem: Ask the uncomfortable second and third question. Understand how the prospect runs inspections, reporting and vetting today, and what it costs them when it goes wrong. Disqualify early when the fit is not there, because a clean no in week one saves everyone a quarter.\nDemo the product yourself: You run your own demos, with no sales engineer beside you. Know the platform well enough to build the demo around the prospect’s fleet, their problems and their vocabulary, and to answer the hard technical questions in the room.\nWrite and defend the commercial proposal: You put together the pricing, scope, timeline and terms, and then you stand behind them. Be ready to explain how you got to the number and to hold it when the buyer pushes.\nBuild a pipeline of your own: The SDRs will keep meetings coming, and you add to them through referrals, conferences, and the accounts in the CRM that have gone quiet.\nStay close after signature: Stay useful through the pilot and afterwards, and grow the account into expansion, references and introductions.\nFeed the market back into the company: You sit closest to the buyer. Objections, competitor moves, missing features and pricing pushback reach product and leadership while they are still relevant.\nImprove how we sell: Process, CRM discipline, materials and playbooks, as we grow within the UniSea Group.\nWhat good looks like in your first six months\nMonth 1: You can run a full demo on your own, and you understand how a ship manager operates: inspections, vetting, PSC and the reporting chain. You know enough that a superintendent can talk to you in their own terms.\nMonth 2: You are running first meetings yourself and getting prospects to a second conversation.\nMonth 3: Anyone can look at your pipeline and understand it. Every open opportunity has a named problem, a decision process and a date against it, and the team can build a quarter’s forecast from what you have recorded.\nMonth 4-5: You have taken deals through to proposal on your own, and when you lose one you can say why, specifically enough that we change something as a result.\nMonth 6: You have closed your first paid pilot and handed it over cleanly, and you are hitting your targets month after month.\nRequirements\nAt least 2 years closing B2B SaaS or technical solutions, carrying and hitting your own quota.\nYou are comfortable with outbound. You will pick up the phone to someone who has never heard of us, and you treat a quiet week as your own problem to solve.\nYou run your own demos, and you will learn a product deeply enough to be credible in front of a technical superintendent or a fleet manager with twenty years behind them.\nYou have commercial judgment. You can build a proposal, explain a pricing model, and negotiate without conceding the things that matter.\nYou keep your CRM current without being asked. If it is not in the CRM it did not happen, and your forecast holds up.\nYou have resilience and self-direction. Sales cycles are long, the industry is conservative, and you will work your region largely on your own.\nMaritime, logistics, industrial or other complex B2B experience is an advantage.\nYou speak fluent English. Additional languages relevant to your region are an advantage.\nYou can work remotely with discipline, your working day overlaps substantially with Central European Time, and you are willing to travel for conferences and customer visits.\nWhat we offer\nA clear path forward, and the honesty to help you take it. You own your region from the start, and we are clear about what the step up to larger accounts asks for. You will hear how you are doing early and directly, while the feedback is still useful, because that is how we work with each other.\nDirect access to the people who make decisions. We are a small team inside a larger group, so what you learn in the market reaches the people who can act on it.\nThe backing of the UniSea Group, which means the stability and reach of a larger maritime software business behind a team that still moves quickly.\nRegular team time together and company events.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4719,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Company events"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"region"},{"name":"France","iso":"FR","kind":"region"},{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"region"},{"name":"Austria","iso":"AT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Belgium","iso":"BE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Bulgaria","iso":"BG","kind":"region"},{"name":"Croatia","iso":"HR","kind":"region"},{"name":"Czech Republic","iso":"CZ","kind":"region"},{"name":"Denmark","iso":"DK","kind":"region"},{"name":"Finland","iso":"FI","kind":"region"},{"name":"Hungary","iso":"HU","kind":"region"},{"name":"Ireland","iso":"IE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Italy","iso":"IT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Netherlands","iso":"NL","kind":"region"},{"name":"Norway","iso":"NO","kind":"region"},{"name":"Poland","iso":"PL","kind":"region"},{"name":"Romania","iso":"RO","kind":"region"},{"name":"Spain","iso":"ES","kind":"region"},{"name":"Sweden","iso":"SE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Switzerland","iso":"CH","kind":"region"},{"name":"Estonia","iso":"EE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Greece","iso":"GR","kind":"region"},{"name":"Iceland","iso":"IS","kind":"region"},{"name":"Latvia","iso":"LV","kind":"region"},{"name":"Liechtenstein","iso":"LI","kind":"region"},{"name":"Lithuania","iso":"LT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Luxembourg","iso":"LU","kind":"region"},{"name":"Malta","iso":"MT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Portugal","iso":"PT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Slovakia","iso":"SK","kind":"region"},{"name":"Slovenia","iso":"SI","kind":"region"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Industrial AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-23T00:39:45Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":25,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-23T05:54:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/kaiko-systems-account-executive","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/kaiko-systems-account-executive.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-23T22:37:57Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5512,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-24T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3894224},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3894224"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fkaiko-systems-account-executive"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fkaiko-systems-account-executive"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fkaiko-systems-account-executive"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/kaiko-systems-account-executive\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fkaiko-systems-account-executive"}]}
