• Native or bilingual fluency in German, with excellent professional English.
• A True Hunter Mindset: A proven history of securing new business logos from scratch, rather than managing established, mature accounts.
• Deep Local Market Knowledge: Comprehensive understanding of business etiquette, buying behaviors, and the corporate landscape in Germany and Switzerland.
• Complex Deal Navigation: Experience managing long, multi-stakeholder sales cycles involving local IT, InfoSec, Compliance, Legal, and Procurement teams.
