Overview
Are you a sales professional with a passion for market disruption, killer product, and momentum-driven pipeline? Have you already internalized a sales process you can adapt from day one? And are you ready to help an ambitious vertical SaaS company dominate a new region?
Wheelhouse is seeking our first Europe-based Account Executive to build our presence across EMEA. The ideal candidate brings quota-carrying sales experience, a creative yet disciplined mentality, and the ability to manage a high-volume sales funnel while delivering consultative, value-driven product demos to revenue & property managers in the short-term rental (STR) industry.
We're looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced SaaS startup environment and has a track record of owning the full sales cycle for SMB & commercial accounts – the core focus of this role. There are founding elements to the role as well; while Wheelhouse is one of the “big three” globally and deeply established in the US, we're the disruptive newcomer in Europe — so you must be comfortable adapting proven processes for a new market, iterating based on regional feedback, and working directly with our London-based Head of Sales as a thought partner in the ground-up build of our European GTM.
Success in this role requires a diligent, focused mindset, the ability to manage velocity without sacrificing relationship quality, and the chops to turn pipeline activity into predictable revenue. The ideal candidate is a collaborative self-starter who works well cross-functionally and cross-time-zone, coordinating with US and EU teams through clear communication and strong async habits—while always looking for ways to improve themselves, their territory, and our go-to-market motion.
If you're energized by over-performing at a high-talent-density org, while getting in early and growing with us – we’d love to hear from you!
The Role
We're looking for a socially fluent and disciplined pipeline pro — someone who maintains velocity, loves converting skeptics into believers, and brings rigor to process. You are organized and driven, comfortable selling across very different markets, and excited to speak with potential clients daily about revenue management software and trends. You excel at building trust quickly, listening to pain points, and demonstrating how Wheelhouse solves them.
What you'll be doing:
- Own the sales cycle from cold outreach to closed-won
- Drive your own outbound strategy. Execute on your book while identifying new high-potential targets, building sequences, and booking your own discovery calls.
- Maintain a healthy top-of-funnel of 50–100 active prospects. Move deals quickly through the pipeline without sacrificing quality.
- Conduct compelling demos, effectively communicating product features and benefits to property managers across diverse European markets.
- Feed critical frontline insights back to EMEA leadership and product teams to shape regional strategy.
- Work collaboratively with your international sales colleagues — sharing what's working, solving what's not, and supporting a culture of excellence.
- Navigate time-zone differences through strong documentation and async communication to maintain momentum while keeping a largely Europe-based schedule.
Deal profile
- Segment: SMB & commercial STR operators across EMEA, managing 30–250 properties
- Deal size: $5k–$30k ACV, increasing 2–3x with services add-ons, usage-based API access, and secondary data products
