**About Xelon**

At **Xelon AG**, we deliver secure, scalable, and automated Swiss cloud infrastructure for the next generation of digital services. From **IaaS** to **SaaS**, our platform powers workloads in regulated industries like **finance, insurance, public services**, and tech. Our solutions—**Xelon Cloud**, **Xelon Secure+**,**Xelon HQ** and **CloudDeck**—combine automation, sovereignty, and simplicity in one ecosystem.

## Tasks

**Your role - what you will do with us:**  
As an Account Executive, you will play a key role in driving Xelon's growth - by acquiring new customers in the target segment and through targeted further development of existing accounts. Your main tasks include:

*   **Pipeline management:** You take over qualified leads from BDR/Marketing and guide them independently through the entire sales cycle - from initial contact to closing.
*   **Outreach:** You also identify your own sales opportunities in the market and work on them proactively - independently of assigned leads.
*   **Existing customer management:** You are responsible for looking after assigned existing customers (accounts) and continuously developing them - through cross-selling and upselling as well as regular touchpoints.
*   **Consultative Selling:** You are a trusted advisor and guide our customers through our offering, including IaaS, PaaS and SaaS solutions.
*   **Close collaboration with the founding team:** You are an important part of the transition from Founder Sales to a structured sales team, and develop this process closely with the management team.
*   **Cross-team collaboration:** Work closely with the Product Management, Marketing and Engineering teams to align customer needs with our services
*   **Market intelligence:** Stay informed of industry trends, competitive activity and new technologies to ensure Xelon stays ahead of the curve.

**Goals & KPIs:**  
Performance: Your performance is measured by new customer sales, growth of existing accounts and the churn rate of your accounts.

**Active co-creation:** You work with a high level of personal responsibility and actively help shape how we further develop sales processes and culture.

## Requirements

**What we expect from you**

*   **Experience in full-stack sales:** At least 2 years of experience in a closing role in a tech environment - ideally mid-market.
*   **Results orientated mindset:** Proven track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets.
*   **A strong network:** You already have good contacts in the Swiss tech sector or the motivation to build up this network quickly.
*   **Start-up affinity:** You feel comfortable in an environment where quick decisions are required and you are actively involved in shaping structures.
*   **Technical understanding:** You have a good understanding of IaaS/PaaS - and can communicate its benefits at both management and technical level.
*   **A feel for processes:** You contribute ideas on how we can further optimise our sales and marketing processes.
*   **Ambition and grit:** You have an entrepreneurial spirit and drive things forward independently.
*   **German and English:** You communicate fluently in German and have a very good command of English in order to work with international colleagues and customers.

## Benefits

**Why you should become part of Xelon**

*   **Creative freedom:** You have the opportunity to make a decisive contribution to the growth of an up-and-coming tech start-up.
*   **Flexible working hours & remote options:** Work when and where you are most productive.
*   **Innovative environment:** Experience the dynamics of a tech start-up.
*   **Young, dynamic team:** Together we achieve our goals and celebrate our successes.
