Account Executive, Nordics - Startups

Who you are

You have a proven track record in sales, ideally with experience in the startup ecosystem, either as a founder or operator in a fast-scaling company. Your superior verbal and written communication skills enable you to effectively engage with founders and stakeholders. Fluency in Swedish, Danish, or Norwegian is an advantage, allowing you to connect with a broader range of clients in the Nordics. You are interested in business models and monetization, understanding how to help startups leverage Stripe's solutions for their growth. Your prior experience in payments or a customer-facing role at a high-growth technology company has equipped you with the skills needed to thrive in this position.

What you'll do

In this role, you will create partnerships between Stripe and the founders of the most innovative and fastest-growing startups in Europe. You will help them understand how Stripe’s financial infrastructure and solutions can support their growth ambitions and create a competitive advantage for their businesses. You will run the full sales cycle, from identifying new opportunities to onboarding clients and realizing revenue. Your ability to thoroughly understand the needs of startups will be crucial in advising them on how to maximize the benefits of Stripe’s growing product suite. You will collaborate closely with the EMEA Startups team, leveraging subject matter expertise to win top venture capital-backed startups in Europe. Your role will involve not only selling but also building long-term relationships that foster trust and collaboration.

What we offer

At Stripe, you will have the opportunity to work in a dynamic environment where your contributions directly impact the growth of startups across Europe. You will be part of a team that is dedicated to increasing the GDP of the internet, providing you with a sense of purpose in your work. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't match every requirement, as we value diverse backgrounds and perspectives. You will receive competitive compensation and benefits, along with opportunities for professional growth and development within the company.
