Global enterprise brands come to us for something they cannot get anywhere else: a live view of what their competitors send directly to consumers. As Account Executive you own the full cycle into CMOs and Heads of CRM at household-name brands, from first outreach to signature, with a global territory and both founders beside you. Uncapped commission, a category with no competitor set, and a product clients already build strategy on.

Activities

Full cycle, end to end. You find the target, break in, run the commercial conversation and sign the deal.

What you will do

• Build pipeline. You engage CMOs, Heads of CRM, Lifecycle, Strategy and Product through LinkedIn, cold outreach, your network, events and trade fairs.
• Sell consultatively. Your demos show real competitive insight on live data, never a canned deck. You challenge assumptions, quantify the gap and build the case with the client.
• Multi-thread every account. You build relationships from CRM and lifecycle practitioners up to CMO and C-level, so a deal never rests on a single champion.
• Close, and close quickly. You steer multi-stakeholder cycles through procurement and legal, negotiate pricing and contracts, and drive them to a decision instead of letting them stall.
• Forecast honestly. You keep the CRM current and give us a forecast we can plan the business on. We would always rather hear bad news early.
• Grow accounts. Together with Customer Success you take existing clients into new geographies, panels and use cases.
• Sell with AI, and sell AI. You use AI to do the work of a larger team. You are also selling an AI-powered product, so you speak the language credibly.
• Shape the product. You bring the market back to Product and Leadership and influence what we build next.

Who supports you

Your demos run on our live platform, not on static slides, so the competitive examples you put in front of a CMO are real and current. Leadership joins your strategic accounts where it helps you close, and what you hear in the market goes straight to the people building the product.

Your ramp-up

• Week 1 to 2: Product, data and the category story. You join live client calls and you start your own outreach in week one.
• Week 3 to 6: Your first own meetings and demos and a pipeline that is genuinely yours.
• Month 2 onwards: Your first deals in late stage and your first signature.

Requirements

You will thrive here if

• You have closed real deals. 2 to 5 years carrying a quota in B2B SaaS, mid-market or enterprise. You can name the deals, the numbers and what you did when a quarter was at risk.
• You create your own opportunities. You would rather open doors yourself than wait for leads to land in your inbox, and you are good at it.
• You qualify rigorously. You work with a value-based methodology such as MEDDPICC or Command of the Message, and you can always say where a deal stands and why.
• You keep deals moving. You know how to create urgency with senior stakeholders and you do not let opportunities drift.
• You are credible with senior buyers. You hold a CMO's attention, turn data into a business case, and stay composed when a room of senior stakeholders pushes back.
• You are AI native. LLMs are already in your daily workflow for account research, personalised outreach, call prep and follow-up. Come ready to show us your stack.
• You think in systems. You notice what makes a deal repeatable, write it down, and do it better the next time.

Bonus points

• You have sold data, research, martech or CRM tooling
• You have run multi-market or multi-brand deals through procurement and legal
• You have a network among CRM, lifecycle and competitive intelligence decision-makers
• You build your own AI workflows, agents or automations

Good to know before you apply

• You will sell to enterprise organisations with several stakeholders, from first conversation through procurement and legal.
• You will have genuine influence on how we sell. Our commercial approach keeps evolving as we enter new markets, and your experience shapes it.
• We work on-site in Cologne. Sitting together is how we stay fast and precise for demanding clients.

Team

We are an international, English-speaking team in Cologne serving enterprise clients across several continents. We are AI native by default, which is how a focused team delivers at the standard large organisations expect. High energy, real ownership, and we still make time to back each other up, have fun and celebrate the wins.

Application Process

Three steps, roughly two to three weeks from first contact to offer. Clear feedback at every stage.

1. Intro call, 30 min with one of the co-founders. Your track record, your motivation and the role.
2. Deep-dive, 45 min with one of the founders. How you sell, in detail. Bring the AI workflow you would use to break into a target account.
3. Office day in Cologne. A real sales case plus your questions and time to meet the team, see the product and talk terms.

About the Company

Axess Intelligence: defining Direct Communication Intelligence

We are not another SaaS tool in a crowded market. We are creating the category: Direct Communication Intelligence.

Our purpose: unlock hidden insights to empower organizations.

Consumer-facing enterprises invest millions in CRM and retention, yet have no reliable view of what their competitors send, to whom, when and how often. We change that. Our platform gives global brands a 360-degree view of the messages competitors send directly to their customers, captured in real time across channels, then turned by AI into structured, comparable intelligence.

What that means for our clients

• Stop guessing. See exactly how competitors segment, target, onboard and retain.
• React faster. Spot new promotions and pricing moves the moment they launch.
• Strategize better. Benchmark their own communication against the market leaders, market by market.

Where we stand

• Established intelligence partner to global, consumer-facing enterprise brands across several continents
• A proprietary data set that cannot be bought anywhere else, growing daily
• Enterprise-grade delivery: Anonymized, access-controlled data our clients build strategy on
• Growing steadily and expanding into new markets

How we work

Five values run everything: Customer Centricity, Innovation, Simplicity, Ownership, Trust.

• Builders, not passengers. Everyone here has a direct impact on where the company goes next.
• AI native. We adopt the latest technology early and expect everyone to. Leverage beats headcount.
• Direct and transparent. Clarity over hierarchy. Feedback is fast, honest and useful.
• Ambitious. High goals, and real care about the quality of the work.
• Simple by default. Complex data, simple answers. True for our product and for how we work.
