Enterprise Account Executive

About the role

n8n is looking for an Enterprise Account Executive to own and grow a defined enterprise territory across Northern Europe (UK&I, Nordics & Benelux) building pipeline, landing net-new logos, and expanding strategic accounts.

You’ll run a full-cycle, consultative enterprise motion (FTE 2,500+): uncovering technical and business needs, aligning multiple stakeholders, guiding evaluations, and closing high-impact six/seven-figure deals.

This role is ideal for someone who can sell to technical buyers (developers are our ICP), thrives in fast-growing environments, and uses a structured methodology (e.g., MEDDIC/MEDDPICC ) to drive predictable outcomes.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Own and exceed quarterly and annual revenue targets across a defined Northern Europe 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 Northern Europe (with customer travel as needed)

REQUIREMENTS

Must-haves

• Enterprise SaaS sales track record: 5+ years in quota-carrying roles with consistent overachievement in enterprise segments

• Northern Europe market expertise: Existing network and proven success selling into Northern Europe enterprises (plus relevant languages)

• Complex deal leadership: Proven ability to close multi-stakeholder deals with longer cycles, procurement/legal steps, and high scrutiny

• 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

Nice-to-haves

• ‍ Open-source / community experience: You’ve sold in or alongside open-source ecosystems and understand bottoms-up adoption and PLG signals

• Selling technical workflow/automation products: Experience with integration, API-first platforms, DevOps/SecOps/IT Ops, or adjacent categories

• Early-stage / scale-up experience: You’ve helped build pipeline and playbooks in a fast-growing environment where process is evolving
