At Secfix, we’re at the forefront of automating security compliance in Europe. We help companies get and stay ISO 27001, GDPR, TISAX, and SOC 2 fast and easy and reduce hundreds of hours of manual work.
Secfix is run by a 100% remote team with hubs in Munich, Berlin and London. We’re a high-performing team looking for passionate, execution-focused, owners to help us automate security and compliance for modern companies and become the European compliance automation leader.
We’ve just raised our $12M Series A and are backed by top VCs, including Alstin Capital, Neosfer (Commerzbank), and Bayern Capital.
About the Role
We’re hiring an SMB Account Executive to run our fast-moving SMB sales motion in the DACH region.
This is a plug-and-play, high-velocity motion — around 80% of your pipeline comes to you inbound or pre-qualified by our BDR team, so most of your time is spent qualifying, demoing, and closing rather than prospecting from scratch.
This is an ideal first AE role for a BDR (ideally already promoted to Senior BDR) with ~1–2 years of experience who is hungry to make the jump into a closing role or an experienced AE who enjoys the high-velocity SMB sales cycle.
What You’ll Do:
You will play a big role in one of the biggest levers we have for growing the company: generating demand and closing deals. We don’t (and can’t afford to) micro-manage. We have gathered many best practices and will give you full context on things that work. You will:
•
Own and drive net-new revenue across SMB accounts in DACH, working primarily from inbound and BDR-sourced pipeline (~80%), while self-generating the rest (~20%)
•
Manage the full sales cycle from qualification to close on a fast, ~30-day average sales cycle
•
Run structured discovery and demo calls, qualifying leads efficiently against a clear framework
•
Engage SMB decision-makers (founders, ops leads, and similar)
•
Translate compliance and security topics into clear, fast business value
•
Collaborate closely with the BDR team, product, and onboarding
•
Maintain accurate pipeline and forecasts in HubSpot
•
Share market feedback to help refine SMB qualification, pitch, and playbook
About You:
•
~1–2 years of experience as a BDR, ideally already promoted to Senior BDR, looking for your first AE role; or an experienced AE who enjoys the high-velocity SMB sales cycle
•
Competitive and hungry to close deals
•
You live sales and are always looking to learn and improve — we’re not looking for a fully “finished” or multi-threading-capable seller, the role will develop that
•
Comfortable operating in a fast, high-volume, demo-driven sales motion
•
Ability to communicate clearly and confidently in German
•
Coachable — you’ll be closely supported and coached by our Head of Sales
•
Familiarity with sales tools (HubSpot, Clay, Apollo) is a plus
•
Munich-based, or willing to be for in-person interview and onboarding stages
Nice-to-have:
•
Some exposure to demo calls or closing, even informally
•
Experience in an early-stage startup environment
•
Academic or extracurricular track record of high achievement (top university, competitive sports, etc.)
•
Exposure to compliance, information security, risk, or GRC topics

Please note: We are an equal-opportunity employer and remote-only company. At this time, we can support hiring only within EU time zones. We work in sync using Gather as our virtual office. As a small fast-growing company, we believe in the need for an in-sync component of daily communication and therefore cannot support 100% asynchronous work.Read more about our Remote Culture here.
