Who are we?

Penneo is a fast-growing RegTech (Regulatory Technology) SaaS company with headquarter in Copenhagen, Denmark. We effectively assist customers in industries like accounting, legal, and finance, enabling them to organize and automate their business-critical processes in a compliant, secure, and effortless way.

Following a successful IPO in 2020 and the listing on Nasdaq Copenhagen Main Market in April 2022, we are now, more than ever, in a position to execute on our strategy for European expansion. We are not only looking for new employees, we are looking to form new long-term relationships with people who resonate with our culture and values.

We now have the opportunity to look for a Key Account Manager to join our awesome and growing Enterprise Sales Team. We're on a mission to scale our operations and maximize value to existing and future customers.

Who are we looking for?

As our Key Account Manager you will be responsible for your own customer portfolio of existing customers in our Nordic markets, primarily in Denmark.

We are well-established in the Danish market, so an approximate 60/40 split between existing clients and new business is a likely scenario.

We expect you to have 3+ years of experience from a similar role. We would love you to have worked in a scale-up environment, but it matters more to us that you have a holistic approach to stellar customer experience.

We’re looking for someone who is motivated by:

• Managing existing and develop new relationships with strategic accounts, mainly within the Financial Services sector and AML (Anti Money Laundering) impacted industries.

• Spearheading best practices in integrated account management, client revenue growth and customer satisfaction (towards the top 500 companies in Denmark).

• Creating and maintaining opportunity pipeline and running consistent account specific activities.

• Acting as a sparring partner for strategic customers and supporting them in achieving higher adoption rates with Penneo's solutions.

• Developing business plans and ensuring that growth objectives set by the company are met (long-term).

• Representing Penneo at industry and client events.

• Promoting the adoption of services in key accounts.

The position is full-time and you’ll report directly to Therése Hategan, our Head of Enterprise Sales - Nordics. You'll be part of our Enterprise Sales Team, all based in our HQ in Copenhagen.

We are enthusiastic about educating ourselves in our customers' needs. We see ourselves not just as a commercial team - we are industry experts and sparring partners.

In your daily conversations with everyone from CFOs and Directors to lawyers and compliance managers, you'll strive to stay informed about your customers' respective businesses.

Working at Penneo means developing yourself, not in isolation, but with your team and your customers. It's a journey we all contribute to - and benefit from.

What makes you a great match?

We believe that the following traits and experiences are important for becoming successful in this role, and it is the basis upon which we assess candidates. However, we acknowledge that talent takes many forms and we would still like to hear from you, even if you don't think you match all the points below.

We expect you to:

• Hold min. 3+ years of experience from B2B SaaS solution sales.

• Display excellent stakeholder management skills, from systematically identifying stakeholders; evaluating their needs and expectations; to planning and implementing various engagement activities with them.

• Convincingly translate your experience from portfolio management and client revenue growth into Penneo's setting.

• Demonstrate capacity for exceeding sales quotas and ensuring positive net churn.

• Display excellent planning, collaboration and presentation skills, including communicating complexity in simple terms.

• Danish at near-native level and English proficiency.

Useful, but not essential:

• A background in financial services or from AML impacted industries.

• An interest for sales leadership and coaching.

How will this role progress?

It is important to us to be as transparent as even possible and to give you the opportunity to level expectations for the role. We therefore share our impact description in advance, and we would love your thoughts about it in your cover letter.

• Get comfortable with the day-to-day operations of the Enterprise Sales Team.

• Regularly gather insights from the market and feeding back information to the Enterprise Sales Team and Marketing.

• Be developing into an industry expert within our key segments, allowing you a deeper understanding of our customers and positioning you as a trusted advisor.

Within 12 months you will have:

• Proven yourself as a crucial member of our growing international commercial team that provides best in class SaaS solutions and senior consultancy to our clients.
