ABOUT THE ROLE

The Enterprise Sales Executive DACH (Enterprise SE) is responsible for acquiring and growing Enterprise accounts by leading complex, multi‑stakeholder sales cycles across Travel and Spend. This role owns the end‑to‑end sales process, from targeted prospecting and rigorous discovery through solution design, commercial negotiation, and a clean handover to Implementation and Account Management, to ensure fast activation and long‑term success at Perk.

At Perk, Travel and Spend are equally important pillars of the platform and sales motion - the Enterprise SE is accountable for positioning and proving value in both areas in every qualified opportunity.

• Build and manage a high‑quality Enterprise pipeline with targeted outbound and executive‑level inbound qualification.

• Lead deep discovery across Travel and Spend to quantify pain, value, and ROI; map current processes, data flows, and integrations.

• Partner closely with SDRs, Implementation Specialists, and Account Managers to de‑risk go‑live and ensure an effective activation plan.

• Stakeholder mapping, executive communication, and deal strategy across CFO, FP&A, Procurement, IT, and Operations.

• Stage discipline, risk management, and precise forecasting.

• Strong written and verbal communication in English and German.

DAY‑TO‑DAY EXPECTATIONS

• Run crisp discovery that surfaces Spend governance, payments, and expense workflows in addition to Travel needs.

• Translate business objectives into a Perk solution plan, including integrations, data requirements, and an activation path.

• Build consensus and handle objections across security, legal, and finance.

• Keep the CRM immaculate with clear next steps, risks, and decision processes.

NICE TO HAVE (DACH CONTEXT)

AI AT PERK

AI is embedded in how we work across every function. The tools you'll use day-to-day are AI-enabled, so you can move faster and spend more time on the work that matters. In practice, that means using AI to research and prioritise accounts, draft and refine outreach, handle customer interactions more effectively, synthesise information, and cut through shadow work - the invisible tasks that pull people away from the work only they can do - so you can focus on relationships and outcomes.

We don't expect you to be an AI expert, but we do expect you to be curious and intentional about it. The bar is judgment: knowing when AI makes your work better, when to verify what it produces, and when to rely on your own expertise instead.

We'll ask about how you use AI in your interviews, not to test tool knowledge, but to understand how you think about it. That reflects how we work every day.

How We Work

At Perk, we take an IRL-first approach to work, where our team works together in-person 3 days a week. As such, this role requires you to be based within commuting distance of our hubs. We fundamentally believe in the value of meeting in real life to improve connectivity, productivity, creativity and ultimately making us a great place to work.

For certain roles, we can help with relocation from anywhere in the world, English is the official language at the office. Please submit your resume in English if you choose to apply. Do not forget to submit an updated portfolio and/or resume.

Perk is a global company with a diverse customer base, and we want to make sure the people behind our product reflect that. We’re an equal opportunity employer, which means you’re welcome at Perk regardless of how you look, where you’re from, or anything else that makes you, well, you.
