The Opportunity
A leading international technology company is looking for a results-driven Account Executive to join its growing sales team in Madrid.
This is a full-cycle sales position where you'll manage the customer journey from initial contact through client meetings, product demonstrations, free-trial management and ultimately closing new subscriptions.

- Convert free trials into paying customers
- Achieve monthly and quarterly sales targets
- Track KPIs including calls, demos, trial-to-paid conversion and MRR
- Maintain accurate CRM and pipeline activity
- Ensure a smooth handover to the Customer Experience team
Leads are automatically assigned, allowing you to focus on prospecting, selling and closing.
