Enterprise Account Executive (f/m/x)

About lemon.markets 🍋

Our mission is providing better opportunities to invest in capital markets. By empowering FinTechs and Banks to offer investment products, we help create financial well-being for their customers. In pursuit of this goal we strive to open 100 million securities accounts within Europe in this decade.

lemon.markets builds infrastructure for financial services and technology companies powering the next generation of investment products. From enabling a FinTech to launch their first investment product, over allowing e.g. a Neobank to embed investing into their product to bringing investing into a completely new context. Our API-first infrastructure makes launching an investment product customer-centric and compliant. We abstract all complexity for our partners through a well documented API, a self-service customer operations portal and operating in a clear regulatory framework. Enabling partners to launch in weeks, not months.

We have experienced first hand that brokerage infrastructure is broken. Building an investment product used to be highly expensive, challenging and cumbersome. We ease this pain by shielding our partners & their customers from the underlying complexity - and with that we make investing more accessible to everyone. Because that’s exactly what we enjoy, going to places nobody else dares and solving hard problems. This not only creates tons of value when done right, but attracts the smartest minds - because outlier companies are built by exceptional (& diverse) people like you.

Your Mission:

Your mission is to help us land key partnerships to scale lemon.markets. Owning the execution of our Go-to-market strategy by closing, onboarding and sustaining future partners. As part of the Group Operations Unit you will join the GTM Function and complement our existing team with your experience. Thus, playing a crucial role in establishing lemon.markets as the go-to-provider for launching investment products in Europe.

Building the infrastructure for companies to enable their customers to buy and sell Stocks, ETFs or Funds, means we have a vast amount of potential use cases. Given the early stage we are in, we need to further validate which segments to focus on and find the right sequencing for our GTM - because our most scare resource is time and our greatest asset is focus. This requires not only a strategic mindset but also being pragmatic - balancing short term opportunities with our long term strategy.

At lemon.markets we value ownership a lot. Meaning you have a lot of autonomy in shaping your area. This is your opportunity to develop & execute a Sales & GTM strategy that resonates with our partners, making launching an investment product customer-centric and a straight forward experience.

You will:

• Develop, manage & nurture partner relationship end-to-end from understanding their use cases, over bringing them on board and to being a consistent partner in building their product.
• Own the end-to-end sales process, from prospecting over contract closing to go-live. Proactively, driving all sales activities across the entire funnel for your opportunities and be ready to go extra mile to hit your targets.
• Classify, group and prioritise companies towards the respective use cases and guide the GTM team towards the best suited opportunities.
• Work hand-in-hand in our GTM team. Thus, the team will be measured by the amount of new partners we are able to acquire and ultimately revenue we will be able to book.
• Run discovery processes to identify new segments, find new use cases and constantly stay up to date about the evolving brokerage landscape in Europe.
• Qualify, calculate and evaluate business cases to help leadership decide on the right partnerships.
• Collaborate closely with Product, Brokerage and Operations to further improve our product and services to find even stronger product market fit.
• Embrace a strong writing culture & help us deepen our understanding by sharing your knowledge & partner insights proactively.

You will be successful in this role if:

• Growing investing opportunities excites you. Our mission resonates with you, because you have either worked in the financial sector (i.e. Brokerage or Banking) or in the technology sector (i.e. FinTechs or API-first companies).
• You always play the long game with partners. You are not only great at creating excitement & closing deals, but also excel at building strong, lasting partnerships & understanding our partners ambitions.
• You have extensive experience developing enterprise sales strategies. Not only do you build your own sales funnel, but you come up with winning account strategies yourself.
• You have a track record of leading E2E Sales processes on the German Market. From prospecting to closing deals - you know how to bring complicated & long deals over the finish line.
• You don’t stick to one playbook. If your approach doesn’t resonate, you are not too proud to admit failure. Instead, you get creative and explore new strategies to reach your targets.
• You create multiplier effects. In order to see demand skyrocketing you don’t require a variety of tools to drive numbers - you achieve success through automation, standardisation and clear prioritisation.
• You have a bias for action over discussion. To avoid getting stuck in discussion, you collect new feedback, try out a different approach or gather data with a proof of concept because you trust the process.
• You thrive on ownership: “This is not my job!” is not part of your vocabulary - you are intrinsically motivated to deliver value by taking initiative and challenging the status quo.
