ABOUT THE ROLE
We are seeking an experienced and proactive (Senior) Enterprise Sales Manager (m/f/d) to drive growth with large mid-market and enterprise clients in the DACH market at Pliant.
As the ideal candidate, you have a strong track record in enterprise sales and experience selling complex financial, payment or corporate travel solutions. Experience with corporate cards (particularly lodge cards / travel account cards) is a strong plus, but not a must.
It would also be highly beneficial if you bring an existing network of Finance decision-makers within large mid-market and enterprise organisations. In this role, you will focus on acquiring major accounts, owning complex deal cycles end-to-end, and building lasting relationships with senior stakeholders.
This role will be based in Berlin at our HQ where we have a hybrid work policy.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Win Enterprise Accounts: Identify, prospect, and acquire mid-market and large corporations and enterprise clients across the DACH region through targeted outbound outreach.
From Discovery to Deal: Own the full enterprise sales cycle - discovery, demos, negotiation, and closing of complex, multi-stakeholder deals.
Build Pipeline: Develop and execute outbound strategies to build a strong pipeline of high-value enterprise prospects, including organizations currently using competing travel account / lodge card solutions.
Customer Advocacy: Take ownership of your accounts, communicate skilfully with senior decision-makers, and position Pliant as the superior alternative in product and service.
Understand & Advise: Dig deep into your prospects' needs and pain points, ask the right questions, and demonstrate how Pliant delivers more value - particularly for clients dissatisfied with their current travel account card provider.
WHAT YOU WILL BRING
Proven experience as a top performer in enterprise sales: managing sales processes with large corporations and enterprise clients.
A strong hunter mentality with a track record in outbound acquisition and closing complex, high-value deals.
Excellent communication and presentation skills, both written and verbal, with the confidence to engage senior stakeholders at enterprise level.
Ability to establish and maintain strong relationships with key decision-makers across large organizations.
You speak German fluently, along with English; any additional European languages would be an advantage, but not essential.
Optional but ideally: experience selling corporate cards, and especially lodge cards (travel account cards / Reisestellenkarten), e.g. at a corporate card or travel payment provider.
Berlin based ideally - hybrid work model in place.
