Hit monthly targets for meetings booked, qualified opportunities and pipeline created

Keep Salesforce accurate and up to date with all activity, contacts and opportunity details

Partner closely with AEs and Territory Directors on account strategy, handovers and regional campaigns

Follow up on inbound leads, events and marketing campaigns for the Italian market

Share market and competitor insights from the field to sharpen messaging and positioning for Italy

What We’re Looking For

Native or fluent Italian and professional working proficiency in English

1+ years in an outbound sales role (SDR/BDR/FCR) or a customer-facing commercial role

Hospitality experience (hotel operations, front office, revenue or hotel tech) is a strong plus

Comfortable making a high volume of cold calls and handling objections with confidence

Strong written communication for personalised outreach

Organised, self-motivated and metrics-driven, able to work autonomously in a distributed team

Experience with Salesforce, Salesloft/Outreach or similar sales tools preferred

Coachable, curious and eager to grow into an Account Executive role

Compensation

Target cash compensation ranges from €50,000–€65,000, including a fixed annual salary and uncapped commission paid monthly.

This role also includes a stock option grant, subject to board approval.

Actual compensation will be commensurate with the candidate's skill level, experience, and specific work location.
