Hoi.. Goedemorgen.. Goedeavond 👋 Something very very exciting is happening: Pleo is growing in the Netherlands!

And for that, we need someone who will help us make the best possible first impression on Dutch businesses.

More specifically, we are looking for high-performing, hands-on sales professionals to join our founding team, to drive our mission to become the go-to spending solution from Rotterdam to ​Zwolle - or just everywhere!

About You!

This role is not for the faint of heart. This opportunity is an accelerator for your career in tech sales.

Put simply - we need a smart, entrepreneurial, customer-centric Account Executive to help build our Dutch presence
Your point of contact is the Pleo sponsors, namely the CFOs, CEOs, MDs, Operations Directors, and everyone else who might be the decision-maker in regards to the spending policy in SMEs

But wait, you haven't heard of Pleo before? 💳

To get you off to a good start, let us just say that we are doing away with an outdated business process that’s been around forever – dreaded expense management.

We are doing that by helping customers to delegate employee spending through a business spending platform. This ends out of pocket spending, encourages autonomy and trust in employees, and takes a huge burden off the finance team. You'll be selling the SaaS tool (company spending solution) that comes with physical/virtual commercial cards (so with a fintech twist) that are then distributed to all employees of the company. The best part is we're all users of Pleo ourselves - so it's a very applicable tool. It impacts anyone in a company who could spend money on behalf of their business - be it a coffee with clients or a Mac for a new hire.

What's up to me? 🚀

Pretty simply - to help spread the good news of Pleo to the Dutch market, and get them to use it.

This role requires a high level of energy, a can-do attitude paired with an analytical and empathetic mindset. You will be responsible for the entire sales cycle from prospecting leads, outreach to companies, qualifying opportunities, collaborating, delivering amazing product demos, converting deals to handing over your deals to our customer experience team.

What we need from you on the first day:

• Complete fluency in Dutch with full professional proficiency in English to boot
• Experience in Outbound B2B SaaS Sales. Ideally experience closing small deals.
• An entrepreneurial mindset, you will be working on an early stage market.
• Ambition - lots of it - and strong inner motivation paired with a positive mindset (it's the key to hitting targets 🎯 )
• Winning attitude - knowing that there are easy days and hard days and the ability to get through them both
• Pipeline management and ability to work in a high energy sales environment 🔥 - our sales process is dynamic and fast. You are geared to close sales every day!
• Exceptional people skills: strong listening abilities, empathy, and genuine and flowing curiosity to learn more about the people you are interacting with
• Leadership potential - we are growing and we want you to grow with us!
• Humility. You ask "How can I create and build more value here?" rather than "What's in it for me?"
• This role is based in sunny Lisbon, so we will offer you financial and practical help relocating 🇵🇹

Show me the benefits!

• Your own Pleo card, we trust you to spend responsibly
• Free lunch and amazing snacks when you work from our Lisbon office
• Free breakfast on Tuesdays
• Social events, i.e. occasional Friday bars
• 25 days holiday + the opportunity to buy up to 10 extra days PTO with your flex budget.
• Flex Benefit budget of 2500€ per year (you are thinking of going to tennis classes maybe?)
• Loads of weird and wonderful niche communities to join in the company (we're talking guerrilla gardening, liquids tasting, the Pleo band, learning to code initiatives, that type of thing)
• Wild enthusiasm and encouragement from us if you want to host MeetUps, events, etc - we'll help (venue, food etc)
• Trips for team camps (both company-wide ones and team-specific ones). The last one we had was in Croatia!
• Investment in learning & developing (just check with your team for what's reasonable, we don't have set budgets)
