Job Description

We are looking for an experienced New Business, Enterprise Account Executive (AE) to help us grow our business by tapping into potential client opportunities and generating new business.

Excited? Read on! 

Your mission is to  create and harvest opportunities with outbound activity. You will strategically target companies and prospective buyers to identify their goals, objectives, and pain points that will help you position our solutions. You are dedicated to meet and exceed your targets, and  will always act in the best interest of the client. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with 2-5 years of sales  experience. Imagine being part of a fast growing company within the recruitment marketing software industry. Here’s your chance to make a real impact!

The right candidate will: 

  • Own the strategy and execution plan for your territory.
  • Lead thoughtful discovery conversations to understand customer priorities and align our solutions to their needs.
  • Communicate the VONQ value proposition in a way that’s relevant and practical for each customer.
  • Build and maintain a sustainable pipeline of new business opportunities.
  • Manage the sales process end to end, keeping close track of progress at each stage.
  • Create accurate forecasts and maintain transparent communication with management on pipeline status.

How do you fit into the VONQ picture?
At VONQ, we value a positive, self-starting, and can-do attitude. To support our growth ambitions, we believe the following characteristics and experience will help you succeed as an Account Executive:

  • 2–5 years of experience as a quota-carrying sales professional in a B2B, consultative sales environment
  • Experience within SaaS, Work Tech, HR Tech, Recruitment Marketing Technology, digital marketing, or agency environments is preferred
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working in a fast-paced, constantly evolving scale-up
  • Strong customer empathy with the ability to translate needs into commercial solutions
  • Highly organized with solid time and pipeline management skills
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English and/or Dutch
  • A strong drive to learn, grow, and develop in a technology-driven environment
  • A sense of urgency, ownership, and persistence
  • Extra points: Experience with recruitment marketing or AI-driven solutions is a strong plus, but not a requirement.

Why you can’t miss out on this opportunity

We take good care of our VONQies and that shows in our benefits package: 

  • A paycheck that fairly reflects the market and your experience, and of course, monthly pension contributions 🤝
  • A MacBook for both business and private use! 💻
  • A fixed monthly phone expense allowance 📱
  • A premium HeadSpace subscription to recharge your batteries after work. 
  • Flexible vacation days - that's right, we will not define a specific number, though a fair-usage approach applies to keep all team members happy! ✈️
  • 100% reimbursement of your public transport expenses, so you can come to this lovely office worry-free. 🚆
  • Still prefer to use your own vehicle? We offer a KM reimbursement, and parking is on us! 🚗
  • A hybrid work model - work in the office and from home. ⏰
  • Snacks, sodas, coffee, and everything you need for a “pick me up” break. 🍪
  • Opportunities to grow your skills and take on exciting challenges in an entrepreneurial environment. No silos, no corporate red tape - share your ideas freely, even directly with the CEO 🚀
  • A great, fun and young team in a dynamic, fast-growing international tech company — together we are stronger! 🎉
