Enterprise Account Executive (German Speaker) - Remote DACH

About the Role

We are seeking a talented Enterprise Account Executive (German Speaker) remote to join our dynamic team at n8n. As an Enterprise Account Executive, you will play a crucial role in owning and growing a defined enterprise territory across DACH. This position offers the opportunity to engage with technical buyers and leverage your expertise to drive significant sales growth. If you are passionate about automation and AI, this is the perfect role for you!

What You'll Do

• Own and exceed quarterly and annual revenue targets across a defined DACH enterprise territory.
• Build pipeline proactively (≥50% sourced by you) through outbound prospecting and smart territory/account planning.
• Run deep discovery and qualification using MEDDIC/MEDDPICC—uncovering pain, impact, decision process, decision criteria, and confirming real evidence before you forecast.
• Manage the full sales cycle end-to-end: discovery, demos, technical validation/evaluation, proposals, procurement, and negotiations.
• Translate technical value into business outcomes—aligning n8n’s automation + AI capabilities to measurable efficiency, risk reduction, and speed-to-delivery.
• Orchestrate multi-threaded deals across stakeholders (champions, technical evaluators, security, procurement, and economic buyers) to keep momentum and reduce stall risk.
• Create and drive mutual action plans with customers—clear next steps, milestones, and shared accountability from first meeting to signature.
• Maintain rigorous pipeline hygiene, forecast accuracy, and account notes in CRM (Salesforce) communicating clearly and early about risks and next steps.
• Partner tightly with Solutions Engineering, SDRs, Marketing, RevOps, and Customer Success to accelerate deals and ensure strong handoffs for expansion.
• Represent n8n at events and in-market—building credibility with technical communities and enterprise leaders across DACH (with customer travel as needed).

Requirements

• Enterprise SaaS sales track record: 5+ years in quota-carrying roles with consistent overachievement in enterprise segments.
• DACH market expertise: Existing network and proven success selling into Northern Europe enterprises (plus relevant languages).

• Methodology-driven execution (MEDDIC/MEDDPICC): You use structured qualification to build high-confidence pipeline and accurate forecasts.
• Executive + technical buyer fluency: You can engage C-level stakeholders and also win credibility with technical audiences (DevOps, SecOps, IT Ops etc.).
• Consultative selling: You lead with customer outcomes, ask sharp questions, and tailor your narrative to the customer’s reality—not a generic pitch.
• Operational discipline: Strong CRM hygiene, forecast rigor, and a habit of using evidence to drive next steps and internal alignment.
• Collaboration mindset: You work smoothly with SE/CS/Marketing/RevOps and elevate the whole deal team, not just your own activity.
• Language + Location: Native German speaker + Fluent in English / Based in Europe.
