## Description

***Munich-based hybrid with lots of flexibility.**C1 or C2 German language is essential.***

At Secfix, we’re at the forefront of automating security compliance in Europe. We help companies get and stay ISO 27001, GDPR, TISAX, and SOC 2 fast and easy and reduce hundreds of hours of manual work.
Secfix is run by a 100% remote team with hubs in Munich, Berlin and London. We’re a high-performing team looking for passionate, execution-focused, owners to help us automate security and compliance for modern companies and become the European compliance automation leader.
We’ve just raised our $12M Series A and are backed by top VCs, including Alstin Capital, Neosfer (Commerzbank), and Bayern Capital.
 
**About the Role**
We’re hiring an SMB Account Executive to run our fast-moving SMB sales motion in the DACH region.
This is a plug-and-play, high-velocity motion — around 80% of your pipeline comes to you inbound or pre-qualified by our BDR team, so most of your time is spent qualifying, demoing, and closing rather than prospecting from scratch.
This is an ideal first AE role for a BDR (ideally already promoted  to Senior BDR) with ~1–2 years of experience who is hungry to make the jump into a closing role or an experienced AE who enjoys the high-velocity SMB sales cycle.

**What You'll Do:**
You will play a big role in one of the biggest levers we have for growing the company: **generating demand and closing deals**. We don’t (and can’t afford to) micro-manage. We have gathered many best practices and will give you full context on things that work. You will:

- Own and drive net-new revenue across SMB accounts in DACH, working primarily from inbound and BDR-sourced pipeline (~80%), while self-generating the rest (~20%)

- Manage the full sales cycle from qualification to close on a fast, ~30-day average sales cycle

- Run structured discovery and demo calls, qualifying leads efficiently against a clear framework

- Engage SMB decision-makers (founders, ops leads, and similar)

- Translate compliance and security topics into clear, fast business value

- Collaborate closely with the BDR team, product, and onboarding

- Maintain accurate pipeline and forecasts in HubSpot

- Share market feedback to help refine SMB qualification, pitch, and playbook

**About You:**

- ~1–2 years of experience as a BDR, ideally already promoted to Senior BDR, looking for your first AE role; or an experienced AE who enjoys the high-velocity SMB sales cycle

- Ability to communicate clearly and confidently in German

- Coachable — you’ll be closely supported and coached by our Head of Sales

- Familiarity with sales tools (HubSpot, Clay, Apollo) is a plus

- Munich-based, or willing to be for in-person interview and onboarding stages

**Nice-to-have:**

- Some exposure to demo calls or closing, even informally

- Experience in an early-stage startup environment

- Academic or extracurricular track record of high achievement (top university, competitive sports, etc.)

- Exposure to compliance, information security, risk, or GRC topics

**What we offer**

- **Hybrid-Flexible Work:** 2-3 days in our new sales office in Munich and added flexibility where needed.

- **Competitive Salary:** Industry-competitive local salaries. We pay local rates that are at or above the market. We share this philosophy with GitLab.

- **Equity:** Generous equity package – we’re all owners of Secfix and beneficiaries of our collective success.

- **Mentorship:** We are backed by top VCs and accelerators and have direct access to world-class mentors.

- **Development Budget:** €1,000 annual personal development budget.

- **Home office Budget:** Home office budget and access to co-working spaces.

- **Health Insurance:** Comprehensive health coverage.

- **Annual Retreat:** Annual retreat to build connections and inspire ideas (this year we’re headed to Milan!).

- **Company Events:** Company-wide events to build relationships and have some fun!

- **Tech Equipment:** Latest tech equipment (MacBook, monitors, headphones).

**Interview Process:**

- 30 min - Screening call with Talent Team

- 30-45 mins - Hiring Manager interview

- Take-home challenge

- 60–90 min follow up deep dive interview

*Please note: We are an equal-opportunity employer and remote-only company. At this time, we can support hiring only within EU time zones. We work in sync using Gather as our virtual office. As a small fast-growing company, we believe in the need for an in-sync component of daily communication and therefore cannot support 100% asynchronous work. **Read more about our Remote Culture here**.*
