🤓 Our product

Luminovo is the first all-in-one supply chain platform built specifically for the electronics industry. Whether it's an OEM designing or procuring electronics in-house or an EMS, with a procurement and sales team – our platform helps them control their complete electronics supply chain.

🇪🇺 Your territory

You'll join our sales team in Europe and mainly cover the German-speaking market – in addition to some other English-speaking territories. Being fluent in 🇩🇪 German and 🇬🇧 English is therefore a must for this role. Any other language is of course a big plus.

🏡 Work location

You can join our team either in our Munich headquarters or in our growing satellite office in Berlin (hybrid setup, with home-office flexibility). We regularly meet for team retreats and attend selected industry events, which means you'll be traveling occasionally. Travel expenses will of course be covered by us.

🎯 Your performance objectives

As Account Executive, you will own the full sales cycle: from generating your own pipeline and qualifying (inbound) leads to bringing deals over the finish line.

📣 Pipeline generation

Attend sales fairs and establish a strong local positioning for Luminovo with support from our marketing team.

• Generate interest. Use a mix of calls, emails, and LinkedIn outreaches to grab a prospect's attention and keep a high pace. Make use of sales enablement material as well as prospecting tools to drive efficiency.

• Qualify. Run customer-centric discovery meetings to quickly uncover the situation and pain the customer is facing. Clarify how our solutions can create an impact on the customer and how large the value is.

💪 Selling

• Inspire. Run inspiring product demonstrations that are catered to the customer's pain and the impact they want to achieve. Know and clarify our positioning in the competitive landscape.

• Prove value. Hold workshops and product deep dives with the help of domain experts to prove that our solution can create value. Support with ROI calculation to underpin the business impact.

• Close. Guide the prospect through the buyer journey, turn negotiations into win-win trades, and close the paperwork. Ensure a smooth handover of the customer’s individual case to customer success to ensure that the impact will be delivered.

💡 Expertise

• Provide insights on the industry. Seek the wisdom of our product experts for answers and generate new insights for our product teams to keep on delivering on the customer's needs.

• Mentor your junior colleagues. Help less experienced Account Executives thrive through coaching, iterating our sales playbook, and acting as a role model.
