Account Executive – DACH

Apaleo is the world’s most open, API-first property management platform powering the next generation of hospitality operations. Its modular, AI-powered infrastructure enables hoteliers to customise their tech stack, automate routine work, and deliver seamless, personalised guest experiences, powered by best-in-class apps and autonomous AI agents that adapt to every stay.

The role

This is a full-cycle sales role with real ownership. You'll find, develop, and close strategic and mid-market accounts across DACH, from first conversation to signed contract. You'll sell into hotel groups, serviced apartment operators, and forward-thinking hospitality businesses that are ready to leave their old PMS behind.

You'll work closely with our partner ecosystem to co-sell and accelerate deals, and you'll be a genuine voice for Apaleo in the market — building relationships that go beyond the transaction.

What you'll be doing

• Running the full sales cycle, prospecting, discovery, demo, negotiation, close
• Owning and developing 30–40% of your own pipeline through outbound and network-driven activity
• Selling to C-suite and operational decision-makers, helping them understand what a best-of-breed approach actually means in practice
• Navigating complex buying processes that span HQ, Operations, IT, and Finance
• Co-selling with Apaleo's ecosystem of app and implementation partners to accelerate deals and add customer value
• Using tools like HubSpot, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Modjo.ai, and Zoom to work smart and move fast

What you bring

• Proven B2B SaaS sales experience, you know how to run a deal and close it
• Experience selling complex solutions to non-technical buyers, ideally in hospitality, travel, or an adjacent industry
• Genuine curiosity about hospitality, you want to understand how the industry works, not just sell into it
• The ability to navigate long, multi-stakeholder sales cycles without losing momentum
• Fluency in German and English, this is non-negotiable for the DACH market, additional language a plus.
• A self-starter mindset, you thrive with ownership and don't need hand-holding

• Growth & Development - As we scale, so do your opportunities. You'll benefit from 360° feedback reviews, a dedicated learning budget, and plenty of chances to take on more responsibility. Our evolving career framework ensures you can grow your skills, advance your career, and make a real impact.
