Account Executive - Enterprise Sales - Germany

Germany

We are a global team of innovators and pioneers dedicated to shaping the future of observability. At New Relic, we build an intelligent platform that empowers companies to thrive in an AI-first world by giving them unparalleled insight into their complex systems. We are looking for an ambitious Account Executive to join our growing German team. If you are a results-oriented sales professional ready to help enterprise customers optimize their digital footprint, we want to hear from you.

Your Opportunity

As an Enterprise Account Executive, you will be responsible for identifying, qualifying, and closing new business within a defined geographic or vertical territory. You will manage the end-to-end sales cycle, from initial prospecting to contract negotiation. You will work closely with our solution engineers and marketing teams to demonstrate the value of New Relic and displace competitors in the observability space.

What You'll Do

• Pipeline Generation: Proactively prospect into a list of target enterprise accounts. You will own your "top of funnel" by combining inbound leads with your own strategic outbound efforts.
• Sales Execution: Manage a disciplined sales process to meet and exceed monthly and quarterly quotas. You will lead discovery calls, coordinate product demos, and navigate the procurement process.
• Customer-Centric Selling: Understand the specific pain points of German enterprise customers. You will map New Relic's capabilities to their business objectives, ensuring our solution is viewed as a critical value-driver.
• Forecasting & CRM Management: Maintain high levels of "sales hygiene" by accurately forecasting your deals and documenting all activity within Salesforce.
• Collaborative Winning: Partner with Sales Engineers, SDRs, and Customer Success to ensure a seamless experience for the prospect and a high win rate against competitors.

This Role Requires

• Relevant Experience: Demonstrable quota-carrying sales experience, preferably within SaaS, DevOps, or Cloud technologies.
• The "Hunter" Mentality: A proven track record of finding and closing new business (New Logo acquisition).
• Sales Proficiency: Familiarity with modern sales methodologies (e.g., MEDDPICC, Challenger, or Command of the Message).
• Communication: Exceptional presentation skills and the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both developers and C-suite stakeholders.
• Language: Fluency in German and English is essential.
• Education: Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical work experience.
