  • Experience in Vertical SaaS or Travel Tech is required; relevant areas include property management systems, channel management, hospitality, destination management organizations, vacation rentals, or online travel agency connectivity. Adjacent Vertical SaaS experience selling to small and medium-sized businesses or owner-operated customers with long sales cycles is also relevant.
  • A track record of closing complex new-business deals personally, involving multiple stakeholders and complex buying centers.
  • Commercial understanding, including reading term sheets, modeling lifetime value to customer acquisition cost payback, and negotiating with procurement and owner-operated businesses.
  • A DACH network in vacation rentals, tourism, destination management organizations, or adjacent small-business SaaS is advantageous.
  • Native-level German and business English at C1+ negotiation level.
  • Willingness to travel 50–80% to customers and industry events along the German coast, in the Alpine region, and in Austria.
  • A consultative, patient approach with genuine interest in customers’ profit and loss; confidence engaging with owners and founders; and rigorous qualification and deal velocity.

Responsibilities

  • Personally manage 5–10 strategic deals end-to-end.
  • Coach the team on the remaining pipeline through structured weekly deal reviews.
  • Navigate relationships with long-standing agency owners, second-generation successors, and semi-political destination-management-organization committees using an advisory, relationship-oriented approach and a long-term perspective.
  • Structure complex term sheets with the Chief Revenue Officer and Chief Executive Officer, including volume tiers, transaction commissions, migration credits, exclusivity, and exit clauses; protect margins and long-term customer retention.
  • Develop and manage a named-account program targeting the customer bases of key competitors.
  • Use the company’s differentiators, including more than 150 channels, approximately 350 exclusive destination-management-organization portals, artificial-intelligence workflows, and revenue management, to displace competitors.
  • Lead and scale the New Business Sales Manager team from two to five, including recruiting, onboarding, and developing new team members to full quota productivity.
  • Establish a sales cadence using MEDDPICC or a comparable methodology, maintain HubSpot or Salesforce hygiene, run weekly forecasts and monthly quarterly business reviews, and align with the HRS Group sales model.
  • Provide monthly structured feedback to Product and the Chief Revenue Officer on win/loss trends, price elasticity, and roadmap gaps.
  • Develop and own the coverage model for Austria and, in phase two, adjacent regions, including territory design, language coverage, and partner channels.
  • Personally acquire new customers in the destination-management-organization and short-term-rental segments, with end-to-end ownership from initial contact through contract signature and targeted competitor displacement.
  • Translate the Destination Solutions roadmap, including property management systems, channel management, and artificial-intelligence workflows, into commercial results.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience in property management systems, channel management, hospitality, destination management organizations, vacation rentals, or online travel agency connectivity is ideal.
