• Placement: On-site
• Groningen, Netherlands

Job description
We are a tech company building digital tools for churches and faith communities across Europe. Together with Hagru, which recently became part of ChurchDesk, we help thousands of organizations simplify administration, strengthen engagement, and increase their impact.

As we continue to grow in the Netherlands and across Northern Europe, we are looking for an Account Executive to join our team in Groningen. This is a unique opportunity to help churches embrace digital tools and make a meaningful difference in their communities.

Note: You don’t need to share a particular faith background to work with us—we’re looking for people who are passionate about building great products, solving meaningful problems, and creating impact.

About your new role

• Full-Cycle Sales Ownership: Manage the entire end-to-end sales process for our segments, from initial strategic outreach and discovery to negotiation and closing.
• Strategic Pipeline Generation: Proactively identify and qualify new opportunities through strategic cold calling and multi-channel outreach to church leaders and administrators.
• Segment Management: Navigate diverse deal sizes, ranging from Small Business to Enterprise complexity.
• Consultative Selling: Conduct high-impact product demonstrations that translate technical features into community-focused value for ecclesiastical stakeholders.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Customer Success Managers to ensure seamless handovers and long-term client retention.
• Market Intelligence: Contribute directly to our Go-to-Market strategy by providing "boots-on-the-ground" feedback and competitive insights.

• Sector Familiarity: Prior experience working with the public sector, NGOs, or religious organizations is highly preferred.
