About the role

We’re looking for a highly motivated Account Executive to join our Sales team and win new logos across EMEA with a disruptive technology solution for the maritime sector.

This is a true hunter role. You’ll close deals typically ranging from $50K-$250K ARR and own 60%+ of your pipeline through outbound prospecting.

Generate 60%+ of your pipeline through outbound prospecting, with a minimum of 30 meaningful touches per day

Build multi-threaded relationships across the buying committee rather than relying on a single contact

Sell to economic buyers at VP and C-level, not just end users or directors

Work with the global Sales team, Product, and Market Analysts to close strategic deals

Deliver accurate forecasts, with 90%+ commit accuracy expected

Consistently hit or exceed quota

What we are looking for

3+ years in new business SaaS sales with a verifiable track record

85%+ quota attainment in each of the last three years

A ranking in the top 30% of your sales team

At least 50% of your pipeline self-sourced through outbound prospecting

Experience closing $30K+ ARR deals with multi-stakeholder buying committees

Proven ability to access and sell to VP and C-level economic buyers

Experience with MEDDPICC or a similar sales framework/methodology

Desirable

Experience in maritime, commodities, energy, or data and analytics (a plus, not a requirement)

Experience selling to the C-suite in mid-market or enterprise accounts

A track record of 120%+ quota attainment, backed by verifiable references
