SMB Account Executive - DACH
Pleo
Let’s face it: out-of-pocket expenses suck. Manual expense spreadsheets are old-school. No one wants to wait until payday to be reimbursed for something they bought for work, and finance teams have better things to do than spend hours tapping away on Excel. At Pleo, we’re on a mission to change this. We’re here to make spend management surprisingly effective and empowering – for finance teams and employees.
And that's what we're here to do. But we need your help.
We at Pleo are looking for a hands-on, experienced SMB Account Executive, to join our DACH team (based in Lisbon)🇵🇹 and work closely with the clients in Pleo’s ‘Small’ Segment
So, what will you be doing?
- As an SMB Account Executive, you will be responsible for generating revenue from our ‘Small’ segment clients in the DACH region.
- Your goal and targets will be based on closing new business deals primarily from inbound leads, generated by our marketing team.
- You’ll also be working on growing revenue and upselling to our existing clients
- You’ll be responsible for accurate forecasting and managing your pipeline hygiene
What we need from you:
- Complete fluency in German, as well as English (our company language!)
- Prior experience in a sales or account management role, either in outbound prospecting or inbound work, is great!
- You can either speak to your successful track record as an SDR, or from experience within a closing and/or upselling role
- Experience within a similar, SaaS company would be an extra bonus
- You can show us your drive and ability to constantly learn, grow and adapt to change
- You can communicate confidently on phone, and via other forms of outreach, with Pleo’s client base.
Show me the benefits!

Why join us?
Working at Pleo means you're working on something very exciting: the future of work. Our mission is to help every company go beyond the books. Pleo itself means ‘more than you’d expect’, and it’s been the secret to our success over the last 8 years. So it’s only fitting that we’d pass this philosophy onto our customers to help them make the most of their finances.
We think company spending should be delegated to all employees and teams, that it should be as automated as possible, and that it should drive a culture of responsible spending. Finance teams shouldn’t be siloed from the rest of the organisation – they should work in unity with marketing, sales, IT and everyone else.
Speaking of working in unity, our values tell the story of how we work at Pleo. We have four core values, the first of which is ‘champion the customer’, which means we address real pain points that businesses face. Next up is ‘succeed as a team’, which highlights how our strength lies in our diversity and trust in each other. We also ‘make it happen’ by taking bold decisions and following through to deliver results. Last but not least, we ‘build to scale’, creating lasting solutions that address today’s challenges and anticipate tomorrow’s needs.
So, in a nutshell, that's Pleo. Today we are a 850+ team, from over 100 nations, sitting in our Copenhagen HQ, London, Stockholm, Berlin, Madrid, Montreal and Lisbon offices —and quite a few full-time remotes in 35 other countries! Being HQ'd out of Copenhagen means we're inspired by things like a good work-life balance. If you don't work in the office with us, we'll help you set up the best remote setup possible and make sure you still have time to connect with your team.
