Senior Account Executive USA

doinstruct

We’re on a mission to simplify how organizations onboard, train, and stay compliant, with a clear focus on frontline-heavy, highly regulated industries. Our platform already powers real operational impact across Europe, and we’ve reached a point where the next phase of growth is obvious and unavoidable. We are actively building the US market now, with budget, leadership time, and execution behind it. This role exists to turn that effort into a repeatable revenue engine, moving from founder-led selling and early signals to a structured sales motion that consistently converts demand into revenue. As our first Senior Account Executive for the US, you will own that challenge end-to-end. You will not step into a fully built machine, because it does not exist yet. Instead, you will help design it in real time, through customer conversations, live deals, and constant iteration. This is a senior individual contributor role with direct access to founders, high visibility across the company, and real influence over how we sell, how we position the product, and how we scale our go-to-market approach in North America. WHAT YOU’LL DO 🚀 Own the US sales motion end-to-end * Run the full sales cycle, prospecting to close, across inbound and outbound. * Qualify, discover, demo, negotiate, and close complex B2B deals with US buyers. Build the US playbook * Develop and iterate messaging, ICP insights, and outbound approaches tailored to the US market. * Pressure-test pricing, positioning, and value propositions with real customers. Be the voice of the US customer * Feed structured insights back to Product and Marketing. * Highlight objections, feature gaps, buying dynamics, and competitive pressure early and clearly. Operate in ambiguity * Collaborate closely with founders and the central GTM team. * Experiment with new motions, including events and field marketing, where it makes sense. WHO YOU ARE 💡 * 5–7 years of full-cycle B2B SaaS sales experience, ideally in early-stage or scaling startups. * Proven track record selling into the US market and consistently hitting or exceeding quota. * Strong consultative discovery skills, you can sell complexity without hiding behind slides. * Comfortable creating structure where none exists. * High ownership mindset, you don’t wait for playbooks, you write them. * Fluent with modern sales tooling (HubSpot, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, calling tools). * Direct, clear communicator who builds trust with senior US stakeholders. * Significant experience selling into the food industry, with a strong preference for regulated, frontline-heavy environments. WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE 🎯 Within your first 6–12 months: * A repeatable US sales motion exists, documented, tested, and improving. * You consistently generate and close a qualified pipeline without founder dependency. * Clear ICP and messaging hypotheses are validated or killed with data. * Product and GTM teams actively use your customer feedback to refine strategy. * US expansion looks like a growth lever, not a failed side project. WHY JOIN DOINSTRUCT 🌟 * High-growth: proven traction in Europe with a clear strategy to replicate that success in the US * Clear ambition: budget, and leadership backing to scale the business successfully in the US. * No vaporware: customers buy because the problem is real. * First US AE: you shape how we sell, not just who we sell to. * Founder access: direct collaboration on deals, positioning, and go-to-market decisions. * Career upside: a credible path toward leadership roles as the US business scales. * High-stakes mandate: your success directly impacts whether the US becomes a core growth market. PRACTICAL DETAILS 🧭 * This role will initially be employed via a US Employer of Record (EOR), with the intention to transition to direct employment with our US entity once it is live. * This role is open to candidates based in the United States and aligned with Eastern Time working hours, subject to state-level employment eligibility. * Regular travel to US customers should be expected, along with occasional travel to Germany and other locations for onboarding and collaboration. * Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States; we are currently unable to sponsor employment visas. ____ At doinstruct, you can make full use of your skills and play an active role in the further development of our start-up. And yes, we attach great importance to a positive working atmosphere, maximum transparency, communication at eye level, and support every step of your personal and professional development.

Working in an elite team directly with some of the most senior salespeople at Beam, this pivotal role will be instrumental in driving our growth in the US: securing landmark partnerships, establishing our impact, and directly contributing to our ambitious scaling journey.

Beam Notes is an AI-powered tool, already used and loved by over 100,000 frontline workers, designed to dramatically reduce the administrative burden on the people delivering care. This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you will be responsible for the entire sales cycle, from initial outreach to closing deals, with real autonomy to test, refine and document the go-to-market motion as you go. You've done this before at a high-growth startup: built pipeline from nothing, closed new logos without a mature brand or playbook behind you, and left the sales motion better than you found it. YOU'LL BE * Executing our go-to-market strategy: Taking ownership of your market and driving the sales motion within it, testing, validating and deepening product-market fit in the US. * Building and owning your pipeline: Independently identifying, engaging and nurturing prospects to build a robust, probability-weighted pipeline against ambitious sales targets. * Closing deals: Presenting the value proposition of Beam Notes, negotiating terms and closing deals with key decision-makers, including multi-stakeholder deals with longer, more complex cycles. * Cultivating strong relationships: Building trust with stakeholders at all levels of prospect organizations, from frontline leads to executives. * Building the playbook: Systematically testing, learning and documenting the strategies, messaging and processes that let us repeat and scale success. Your insights become the foundation others sell from. * Providing market feedback: Relaying insight from the US market to the product and leadership teams to inform product development and market strategy. * Reporting and tracking progress: Maintaining accurate records in HubSpot to enable accurate forecasting and performance analysis. YOU'LL HAVE * A track record of closing new logos at VC-backed startups: You've carried a quota and won net-new business in a high-growth, early-stage environment, where you generated your own pipeline and closed without the air cover of an established brand or a finished playbook. * Exceptional drive and resilience: You are exceptionally results-driven, persistent in the face of challenges, and possess a strong self-starter mentality. * An entrepreneurial builder's mindset: You excel in ambiguity. You see a blank slate as an opportunity, and you have a knack for creative prospecting and pipeline generation. * Proven relationship-building skills: A natural ability to build rapport and establish trust with individuals at all levels, up to and including senior executives. * Top-class communication skills: Outstanding written and verbal communication, capable of articulating complex ideas clearly and persuasively. * A strategic mindset: You think strategically about market opportunities and develop effective approaches to engage potential partners. * A mission-driven ethos: You're motivated by more than commission: you want your work to have a tangible, positive impact on society. NICE TO HAVE * Experience working with or selling into the SLED or Healthcare space. * Familiarity with a structured sales methodology (e.g. MEDDPICC) as a tool for qualification and forecasting SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE * Consistently exceeding revenue targets through high-value, long-term partnerships * Building a strong, qualified and predictable pipeline in the US * Providing market insights that shape Beam's US strategy and product development * Creating and validating go-to-market playbook components that the wider sales team builds on APPLICATION PROCESS We have a four-stage interview process, giving you plenty of time to learn about Beam while we get to know you. 1.
