Commercial Account Executive

About Dash0

Imagine a world where observability is... well, easy. That’s what we’re building at Dash0. We’re not just another observability company, we’re a team of passionate experts who are obsessed with making observability accessible and delightful for every developer.

We are OpenTelemetry-native, ensuring seamless interoperability within modern observability ecosystems, and our “welcome present” to the OpenTelemetry community, OTelBin, a free editing, visualization, and validation tool for OpenTelemetry collector configurations, has been extremely well received.

Our mission is to make Dash0 the best observability experience in the world, and we’re looking for an Commercial Account Executive who wants to help bring that story to customers around the globe.

The Opportunity

Dash0 is experiencing rapid growth, and we are looking for a foundational Commercial Account Executive to drive our expansion across the DACH region. This is a high-impact role where you will be responsible for acquiring and closing new logos, building our presence in a key market, and helping to define the sales motion at a category-defining startup.

You will be the tip of the spear in our commercial sales efforts, managing the full sales cycle and articulating the immense value of Dash0 to technical leaders. If you are a driven, technically-curious seller who thrives on building something from the ground up, this is the role for you.

• Strategically prospect into target accounts, creatively mapping organizations to identify key decision-makers and champions.

• Partner closely with our Sales Development and Marketing teams to generate a robust pipeline of qualified opportunities.

• Conduct compelling product demonstrations and manage technical validation cycles (e.g., proofs of concept), showcasing how Dash0 solves critical customer pain points.

• Utilize modern sales methodologies like MEDD(P)ICC to ensure a repeatable, scalable sales process.

• Maintain meticulous records and provide accurate forecasting in our CRM (e.g., Hubspot).
