Based in Stuttgart, Germany and Chicago, IL - MARKT-PILOT™ is a fast-growing SaaS scale-up helping industrial manufacturers tackle price drift: the gap that opens when the market moves and their prices don’t. Our platform, MP ONE™, runs pricing as one continuous loop, current, controlled, and proven, so manufacturers stop losing margin to drift and start turning the aftermarket into a growth engine.
As an Enterprise Account Executive, you will drive new business and account growth with the largest machine manufacturers in North America. You will own a book of enterprise prospects, build your own pipeline, lead long, multi-stakeholder sales cycles from first conversation to signed agreement, and partner closely with Customer Success to retain and expand your accounts. You will sell to senior aftermarket, pricing, finance, and sales leaders, positioning Pricing Performance as a strategic priority for their business.
As an Enterprise Account Executive you play a pivotal role in our transformative journey to become a billion-dollar company. We are seeking a strategic, driven, and coachable seller with a proven track record of closing enterprise software deals in a dynamic, complex environment.
What we expect you to own and run with:
Own Your Pipeline: Self-source and build a strong pipeline of qualified opportunities with the largest prospects in our space, holding roughly 3x coverage
Lead with Insight: Use a Challenger approach (teach, tailor, guide) to bring buyers an insight they don’t yet see and position Pricing Performance as a strategic priority.
Drive Discovery and Qualification: Conduct thorough discovery sessions and qualify hard using MEDDIC, focusing your time on what actually moves the customer and the number.
Build the Business Case: Design and deliver customized business cases and presentations that address customer needs and accelerate the sales cycle.

Which boxes you need to check:

Track record of closing six-figure ACV deals across long, multi-stakeholder sales cycles of 6 to 14 months.

Ownership mindset and comfort operating without full information or a fixed process in place.
