Who are we? 

Penneo is a fast-growing RegTech (Regulatory Technology) SaaS company headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark. We effectively assist customers in industries like accounting, legal, and finance, enabling them to organize and automate their business-critical processes in a compliant, secure, and effortless way.

Following a successful IPO in 2020 and the listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen Main Market in April 2022 we are now more than ever, in a position to execute our strategy for European expansion. We are not only looking for new employees, we are looking to form new long-term relationships with people who resonate with our culture and values. 

As we want to grow fast in Belgium, we are looking for an Account Manager to join our awesome and growing Sales Team in this country and speed up the process and grow our market share more rapidly.

Who are we looking for?

As our future Account Manager, you will build relationships and close newbiz based on an understanding of the prospects' needs. Grow your client portfolio by finding new ways to use the Penneo Sign product and make your clients happy by delivering value to them.

The position is full-time, based in Belgium and you will report to our Senior Manager, Werner.

As you will be responsible for the Flemish, Limburg, and Antwerp regions, you can reside in any of them.

What would be your responsibilities?

We foresee the following responsibilities, but you’ll have the opportunity and freedom to influence and define it with us.

Ownership

• Reach out to prospects within our Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) across different channels, such as phone, email, and LinkedIn;

• Follow market trends within the industries together with the KAM working with the same industries.

What makes you a great match?

We believe that the following traits and experiences are important for becoming successful in this role, and it is the basis upon which we assess candidates. However, we acknowledge that talent takes many forms and we would still like to hear from you, even if you don't think you match all the points below.

We expect you to:

• Hold 3+ years of experience in a Newbiz B2B-sales position or as a hunter regardless of the industry;
• Like to hunt prospects and perceive " NO " as a part of your development;
• Excel at managing your own time effectively and level expectations with your internal and external stakeholders;
• Have a high drive and actively display a growth mindset;
• Enjoy engaging with people;
• Speak and write Dutch at a near-native level;

• Have the work hard/play hard mentality 

Would be a plus: 

• Experience in the A&A or Legal industry;
• Full-working proficiency in French.
  

How will this role progress?

It is important to us to be as transparent as even possible and to give you the opportunity to level expectations for the role. We, therefore, share our impact description in advance, and we would love your thoughts about it in your cover letter.

During the 1st month, you will

• Meet your new colleagues and understand who is doing what;
• Understand the problems Penneo solves for customers;
• Use the product(s) as a customer;
• Understand how the Sales Playbook works within your area;
• Assess and engage in the sales onboarding process facilitated by our Senior Manager;

Within 3 months you will

• Have finished your Sales Onboarding Program and passed the exam;
  
• Have built a growing pipeline of opportunities;

Within 6 months you will

At this point, you should expect that a good track record can land you the role as a Senior Account Manager working with larger companies and aspire to a position in the KAM team.

Our Sales roles are instrumental to our ambitious growth aspirations, and we’re eager to learn on the journey with you. It all depends on your capabilities for continuous learning and equally important - your dreams for the future.

By now we hope you’re sitting with a smile on your face, ready to apply and contribute to the Penneo adventure.
