Across Europe, fleets are under enormous pressure. Fuel costs are rising. Regulatory requirements are tightening. The shift to low-emission vehicles is accelerating. And yet around 70% of European businesses still manage their fleets manually, with spreadsheets, disconnected tools, and processes that were never built for this moment.

Shiftmove exists to make this simple. We are a profitable B2B SaaS company and the fastest-growing fleet management platform in Europe, born from the merger of Avrios and Vimcar, and now serving tens of thousands of corporate customers across Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland, Poland, and beyond. Most recently, we acquired Optimum and Ocean in France, expanding our footprint and doubling down on one of Europe's largest fleet markets.

Our AI-powered platform connects real-time vehicle data with intelligent software so that businesses can procure smarter, control costs, stay compliant, and lead the transition to cleaner mobility, all from one place.

The Role

We are looking for a hands-on, execution-driven sales team lead to build, coach and elevate our Account Executive team in DACH. This is a player-coach role for someone who leads from the front, joining deals, challenging qualifications, building pipeline discipline, and developing AEs into confident sales consultants.

• Act as a true player-coach: join customer conversations, lead complex deals, and step in to unblock or close when needed
• Develop junior AEs into confident sellers through hands-on coaching, clear 80/20 development plans, and live deal feedback
• Strengthen top-of-funnel activity, ownership mindset, and collaboration with SDRs to improve targeting and qualification standards
• Work cross-functionally with Marketing, Customer Success, and Sales Leadership to ensure seamless handovers, expansion opportunities, and evolution toward a scalable pod structure
