Sr. Account Executive | Jobs at Penneo

Sr. Account Executive
Permanent employee, Full-time · Copenhagen
Is this you?
Are you a true sales hunter with a passion for SaaS and a talent for closing complex deals? Are you motivated by building relationships and leading high-value sales processes? If so, we’d love to hear from you!

About Penneo
At Penneo, we build technology that helps businesses operate with trust in an increasingly complex world. What started as a digital signing solution in Copenhagen has grown into secure, compliant workflows used across Europe. With new forms of tech- and AI-driven fraud emerging fast, our mission to protect the integrity of digital business is more important than ever!

Penneo is a Certified Trusted Service Provider - we were actually the very first private company in Denmark to achieve this certification. Something we’re very proud of!
This means we’re not “just another SaaS company”. Rather, we operate critical digital trust infrastructure under the eIDAS regulation, building products that businesses across Europe rely on for identity, signatures, secure data handling, and compliance.

If you want to join a talented team and help expand the use of meaningful products that define the future of trust in a digital society, Penneo might just be the perfect fit for you.

Your role & impact
We’re looking for a Sr. Account Executive with proven SaaS experience. In this role, you will play a key part in continuing Penneo’s growth by generating new business in Denmark. This includes driving full sales cycles, navigating enterprise buying processes and closing high-value deals.

We need your business acumen to succeed as a trusted advisor to prospects. You need to understand their workflows, compliance needs and the regulatory environment around digital trust.

You will sit in a team consisting of five talented sales professionals and report directly to our Sales Director. We work with a high pace and best-in-class tools such as Salesforce, Clari, Clay, and Lemlist to maximize selling time and minimize admin work. If you are passionate about leveraging new tools that make us work faster and better, you’ll fit right in!

This role is based in our Copenhagen office in Carlsberg Byen. We love to see our colleagues in the office, but we have a hybrid-set up as we want to foster a healthy work-life balance.

• Build and grow a strong pipeline of enterprise opportunities.
• Drive the entire sales cycle from discovery and product demos to negotiations and closing.
• Engage and influence key stakeholders across large Danish organisations.
• Build a deep understanding of Penneo’s products, use cases, and regulatory landscape.
• Act as a trusted advisor for prospects on both technical and compliance-related topics.
• Maintain strong CRM hygiene in Salesforce to ensure accurate forecasting and smooth handovers.

What makes you a great match?
Our next colleague is an ambitious SaaS sales professional with proven success. In addition, we imagine you bring:

• Demonstrated B2B SaaS sales experience with consistent quota achievement.
• Experience closing large, complex enterprise deals (1M+ DKK is a plus).
• Strong communication and presentation skills and the ability to engage stakeholders at all levels.
• A consultative mindset seeking to understand customer needs before selling.
• Experience building business cases, managing negotiations, and handling commercial discussions.
• A proactive, structured, and customer-centric approach.
• A can-do attitude and team player mentality.
• Fluency in Danish and strong English proficiency.

What's in it for you?
It’s an exciting time to join Penneo. The world around us is changing fast, and so are we. We’re building a team of driven, passionate and curious individuals who stay on top of industry trends and emerging technologies. At Penneo, you’ll have the support to grow and develop your skills and a whole team cheering you on!

In addition to great colleagues and culture, we also offer:

• Hybrid work environment with the flexibility to adapt to your lifestyle.
• Paid parental leave for all new parents.
