Account Executive (High-Velocity) (d/f/m) - German-speaking

United States, Berlin

About the role

Your opportunity: Are you excited about making a real impact in a fast-paced sales environment, while being part of a supportive, purpose-driven team? Do you enjoy working with autonomy while contributing to a bigger mission? At Leapsome, we're on a journey to shape the future of work, and we're looking for curious, driven individuals who thrive in structured, high-energy environments and value continuous learning. Join us as a High-Velocity Account Executive, where you'll help small and growing companies unlock the power of their people. What is your job? You'll own the full sales cycle for our high-velocity segment (companies with 10–49 employees), a fast-growing customer base with strong interest in our solution. Your mission is to identify and convert the right opportunities quickly and thoughtfully into delighted customers. Own the sales process from first contact to closed deal: qualifying leads, running compelling demos, negotiating, and closing, all within a ~30-day sales cycle. Manage a high volume of opportunities efficiently through a semi-automated, well-structured process. Build trusted relationships with diverse stakeholders and tailor your approach to each customer's unique context. Prioritize effectively to focus on deals most likely to close and bring long-term value. Collaborate with RevOps to continuously improve the sales process, using data and feedback to work smarter and boost win rates. Maintain a clean pipeline with accurate forecasting, CRM hygiene, and clear timelines. Contribute to smooth initial implementation for new customers. Get involved in cross-functional projects (e.g. OKR initiatives) that align with your interests and support your growth. Become a product and industry expert to guide customers with a consultative, value-driven approach. Who are we looking for? We're committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. If you don't meet every single requirement but feel excited

about

the role, we still encourage you to apply. You have 2–3 years of experience in a sales role (ideally B2B SaaS) or a client-facing position such as consulting. You're fluent in German and English; additional Central European languages are a plus. You ask insightful questions, listen actively, and quickly understand what your customers need. You're structured and detail-oriented, with a passion for optimizing processes and making data-informed decisions. You enjoy fast-paced work and are confident balancing efficiency with empathy. You're motivated by impact and purpose, especially in shaping the future of work and enabling continuous learning. You have an interest in technology and are comfortable discussing tools and platforms with customers. Experience in HR tech, or fields like organizational development, people development, would be a

bonus.

Benefits at Leapsome Learning and development: Grow your skills with a €2,000 yearly development budget and full access to the Good Habitz platform.

Bonus + Equity. Leapsome aims to pay generously and fairly. If the listed range isn’t working for your situation, please tell us early in the process, we’d rather have that conversation than lose a great candidate over a number we may be able to address. If your role or skillset isn’t covered in our

compensation framework, it’s likely because we haven’t hired enough in that area yet. We’ll build a data-backed range before we make you an offer, and we’ll share our thinking with you as early as we can. This note is published for transparency. It reflects our

compensation philosophy as of June 2026 and describes our general global approach — it is not a contract, offer, or entitlement to any salary, increase, or

bonus, and may change at any time. Individual

compensation is always governed solely by your written employment agreement and applicable local law.
