Account Executive - DACH Market | Based in Barcelona
If you are a German-speaking sales professional who wants to own a market rather than work one, this is worth reading. Kantox is a BNP Paribas-backed fintech with a product that solves a real, measurable problem for CFOs and Treasurers. We are looking for one person to join in building that pipeline from Barcelona and grow with it.
We build a Currency Management Automation software that helps companies turn FX from an operational burden into a competitive advantage. Our clients are CFOs and Treasurers at mid-to-large corporates across 75 countries, and they trust us to move serious money - over $20 billion and counting.
What you will work on
You will run full-cycle enterprise sales into German, Austrian, and Swiss companies, from first outreach to signed contract. That means:
- Generating and managing a pipeline of mid-to-large corporates with meaningful FX exposure, including through self-sourced prospecting
- Engaging CFOs, Treasurers, and FX managers and leading conversations about their business model, not just our product
- Building financial business cases that make the ROI clear and compelling
- Partnering closely with Customer Success to ensure what you sell gets implemented and expanded
The setup
You will be based in our Barcelona office, working within the DACH sales team and reporting to the Sales Director of DACH, Italy, and Poland. You will bring the language, the cultural fluency, and the commercial drive. We will give you the product, the platform, and the team to back you up.
Who you are
You have a track record in complex B2B sales, ideally in fintech, SaaS, or financial services, and you know how to navigate long-cycle, multi-stakeholder deals. You can hold a credible conversation with a CFO and build a business case that speaks their language.
You do not need to be an FX expert from day one. You do need to be someone who earns trust quickly and picks up technical content fast.
Concretely:
- 3+ years of B2B sales experience in fintech, SaaS, or financial services
- Proven track record of quota attainment in a consultative sales environment
- Native level of German; fluent in English
- Strong financial literacy; you understand why FX risk matters to a business and can speak to it confidently
- Based in Barcelona, or willing to relocate (we provide support)
What we offer
- Competitive base salary and uncapped commission structure
- 36 days of annual leave
- Private health insurance
- Free language lessons (Spanish, English and French)
- Flexible working hours and short Fridays
- Sponsored learning and development budget
- Relocation package if required
- Barcelona office with 360° views of the city
- Hybrid working model (4 days in office, 1 day from home)
- Fresh fruit, unlimited coffee and Pizza Fridays
