Founding EMEA Account Executive (German-Speaking)

• We’re hiring our first Enterprise Account Executives in EMEA to build Pallet’s commercial presence across Europe
• You’ll own net-new enterprise acquisition across the region, build relationships with the largest logistics providers in Europe, and help establish the playbook for our international expansion. This is a highly consultative enterprise sales role focused on educating customers on an entirely new category of AI-powered workflow automation
• You’ll partner closely with Sales, Product, Engineering, Solutions, and Customer Success to drive a solution-selling motion centered around workflow discovery, AI use case identification, structured pilots, and measurable ROI
• Initially, this role will be remote from London while we establish our UK presence. Once our London office opens, this role will transition to working from the office five days per week when not traveling to customer sites
• Own the full enterprise sales cycle across EMEA, from outbound prospecting through contract signature
• Build and maintain a 3x-4x qualified pipeline through disciplined outbound execution while self-sourcing at least 30% of opportunities
• Develop relationships with executive stakeholders across Europe’s largest logistics providers, including COO, CIO, VP Operations, VP Supply Chain, and VP Technology
• Lead consultative discovery sessions that map operational workflows to Pallet’s AI agent capabilities
• Scope and lead structured pilots that demonstrate measurable operational ROI and convert into enterprise deployments
• Build executive business cases that align operational improvements with financial outcomes
• Document repeatable customer use cases and market feedback to shape Pallet’s product roadmap and international GTM strategy
• Help establish Pallet as the leading AI platform for enterprise logistics across Europe
• Working hours are generally 9:00am-6:00pm London time, providing full coverage of the European business day while maintaining regular collaboration with our San Francisco headquarters
• You’ll typically spend:
• Mornings and early afternoons working directly with European customers and prospects
• Late afternoons collaborating with our US-based Sales, Product, and Engineering teams during our daily overlap window
• Approximately 75% of your time traveling across Europe for customer meetings, executive workshops, pilots, and industry events
• You’ll report directly to the General Manager, London for territory strategy, customer relationships, and international expansion
• You’ll also work closely with our Head of Sales, participating in weekly pipeline reviews, forecasting, and sales process alignment with the US team
