Do you have a proven track record in full-cycle SaaS sales? At CtrlChain, we’re looking for an ambitious Account Executive – SaaS to drive new business and help us expand our logistics software platform across Europe. 

Over the past five years, CtrlChain has built a powerful and trusted ecosystem to simplify and modernize the transport and logistics sector. Now, we're making this ecosystem fully available to our customers, both shippers and carriers. 

Our system brings digital transformation to an industry long reliant on outdated processes, offering smart tools that enhance visibility, streamline compliance, and optimize operations. The result? A more efficient, transparent, and effortless way of working for everyone involved! 

Now we’re growing fast and bringing our platform to more customers across Europe and we need a SaaS sales professional who is great at spotting new opportunities and can win new business, manage the full lead-to-close SaaS sales cycle, and build long-term partnerships. 

SaaS Sales Executive Responsibilities (Full-Cycle Sales)
