Mentimeter

Mentimeter is an engagement tool with a clear goal in mind. To turn presentations into conversations. Through real-time interactivity and clear visualizations, we get people to participate, engage and become more productive. Transforming all those passive meetings, airless classrooms and drawn out trainings into valuable and memorable moments. We truly believe that you achieve the best results by doing things together. And that successful leaders need to adopt a curious and collaborative mindset in order to get there. So with you at Mentimeter, you’ll be a big part of the ambition to help over 1 billion people listen, learn and work better together. We are now looking for an Account Manager for our DACH Enterprise customers — a commercially driven relationship builder who wants to take full ownership of revenue growth across an existing portfolio of strategic customers. This is a key role in one of Mentimeter’s most important markets. Your mission will be to grow and retain our existing DACH Enterprise customer base by identifying expansion opportunities, owning renewals, building senior customer relationships, and turning customer insight into measurable revenue growth. This is not a purely reactive account management role. We are looking for someone who can create commercial momentum, manage a broad portfolio with discipline, and build trust with German-speaking Enterprise buyers who value credibility, structure, patience and a strong business case. You will work closely with Customer Success Managers, Sales Development Representatives, Marketing, Sales Operations and Product-led growth teams. At the same time, this is a role for someone who enjoys ownership and autonomy. You should be comfortable operating in a scale-up environment where not everything is fully built yet, and where your ability to take initiative, make smart prioritisation decisions and move opportunities forward will matter.

Success in this role means that you: * Consistently grow revenue across your existing customer portfolio * Build a healthy and predictable expansion pipeline * Forecast accurately and manage your opportunities with structure and discipline * Develop strong relationships with senior customer stakeholders * Understand customer needs and translate them into clear commercial opportunities * Proactively identify churn risks and take action before they become renewal issues * Use data and customer insight to make smart prioritization decisions * Balance long-term relationship building with clear commercial outcomes * Collaborate effectively across teams while still driving your own work forward This is not a purely reactive account management role. We are looking for someone who actively creates opportunities, drives commercial momentum and takes ownership from insight to closed revenue. YOU WILL BE SUPPORTED BY: * Strong lead generation from our Marketing and Product teams * Sales Development Representatives who support lead qualification and opportunity creation * Customer Success Managers who partner closely with you on strategic accounts * Marketing and Sales teams who support with account analysis, campaigns and commercial tactics * A Sales Operations function to support process, data and systems * Professional tools and data sources, including Salesforce, Intercom, Mixpanel and Google Analytics to manage your pipeline, understand customer signals and identify expansion opportunities - making informed commercial decisions WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR To succeed in this role, we believe you bring: * Native or professional fluency in German business language, as your primary focus will be the DACH market * Professional-level English, as Mentimeter is an English-first company and we sell globally * Previous B2B SaaS sales experience, ideally at least 3+ years or equivalent depth in a complex commercial environment having worked with account management, expansion sales, customer growth or enterprise sales * Experience owning commercial targets and driving revenue growth across an existing customer portfolio * Strong pipeline management, forecasting and opportunity qualification skills * The ability to identify, create and close expansion opportunities with existing customers * Confidence in leading commercial conversations with senior stakeholders * Strong negotiation skills and an understanding of software contract terms and conditions * The ability to use data, customer insights and business signals to assess opportunities and make informed decisions * A structured way of working, with the ability to manage many customers and opportunities in parallel * Strong communication skills and the ability to clearly position Mentimeter against both direct and indirect competitors * A proactive, high-energy working style with the ability to create momentum independently * A genuine motivation to build long-term customer relationships while also driving clear commercial outcomes NICE TO HAVE It is a plus if you have: * Previous sales or account management experience from the German or broader DACH market * Experience selling into HR, L&D, Communications, Enablement, EdTech, HRTech or MarTech buyers * Experience working with Enterprise customers and multi-stakeholder buying groups * Experience managing renewals and expansion in a land-and-expand SaaS model * A bachelor’s or master’s degree in any relevant field NOT REQUIRED * Although this role is located in our Stockholm office, you are not required to speak Swedish.

We use AI as a sparring partner: to bounce ideas, bring new perspectives, support structure, and make our work more efficient. But the meaning, decisions, and interactions always come from people. * AI does not screen or decide on candidates. *  There is no automated filtering, ranking, or decision-making in our recruitment process. Every application is reviewed by a person. * Hiring teams may use AI to support their work - for example, to structure notes, prepare interview questions, or organize their thinking. AI strengthens our work, but it does not define it.
