Account Executive Europe (hiring multiple territories)

Construction has a problem nobody has solved. Tradespeople lose almost a quarter of their working time to things that have nothing to do with the work itself. Industry-wide, that's more than a trillion dollars a year.

Ferdinand, our founder - electrician, engineer, serial entrepreneur - wasn't willing to accept that any longer. In 2022 he started Benetics AI in Zurich.

We're building the modern AI stack for the jobsite. It starts with a voice assistant the crews can use on day one: no typing, over 100 languages and every dialect, up and running in 30 minutes. Documentation is 10x faster than writing it out, invoices go out 3 to 5 days earlier, and contractors bill up to 15% more of the work they're already doing.

Bootstrapped. Cash-flow positive. Growing >200% year over year, with over 400 companies in more than 10 countries.

Our team is young, mixed and pulled together from very different worlds - held together by one job: we build for the people who build.

Tasks

Making the cycle shorter

We close SMB deals in 20 days on average. That's fast for this industry, and we're pushing to see how much faster it gets. You will work on constantly iterating and improving the sales journey, improve our qualification methods, iterate the demo, sell Benetics AI and effectively average a ~3x monthly pipeline turnover.

Winning new customers

You run the sales process end to end - first conversation to signed contract. Full ownership, and real room to shape how it's done.

• Qualify the leads that come to us: trade shows, website, referrals
• Go and find the rest within your assigned territory by phone, email, social selling
• Run your own demos, negotiations and closes with the help of a strong leadership team
• Be where contractors are: trade fairs, events, industry gatherings

Growing the customers you win

The signature isn't the finish line. You stay on the account, make sure Benetics AI actually sticks with the crew, and grow it from there. More licenses, more teams, more of the business.
