You’ll run complex, multi-level sales cycles from 6 to 18 months, build both the business case and the technical win alongside your Solutions Consultant, and drive long-term land-and-expand strategy while continuing to bring in new logos. As part of the founding Iberia team, you’ll work alongside a 10-person Madrid-based org (SDR, SC, and Customer Success) and help shape the region’s go-to-market strategy from the ground up. ## Responsibilities: * Manage a portfolio of 8-12 top strategic accounts in Spain and/or Portugal * Generate your own pipeline — Cresta drives strong inbound, but Strategic AEs are expected to self-source roughly 50% of pipeline * Orchestrate complex, multi-level sales cycles (6-18 months) across buying committees, procurement, legal, and security * Build the business case and the technical win in partnership with your Solutions Consultant and extended team * Drive land-and-expand strategy with a long-term vision for each account, while continuing to prioritize new-logo acquisition * Partner closely with Product, Marketing, Customer Success, and Engineering to deliver an exceptional customer experience ## Qualifications We Value: * 8+ years of enterprise SaaS sales experience, including at least 4 years as a quota-carrying individual contributor selling into large Spanish enterprises (IBEX35 or equivalent: banking, telco, insurance, utilities, travel) * Verified track record closing deals of €500K+ ARR / €1M+ TCV, including at least one deal exceeding €1M TCV at an IBEX35-caliber account * New-logo hunting as your primary motion — majority of attainment historically from net-new logos rather than installed-base expansion * Experience navigating complex 6-18 month cycles, including RFPs, buying committees, and procurement/legal/security review in regulated industries * Existing C-level/VP network within Spanish enterprise accounts ## Nice-to-Have: * CX / contact center / conversational AI domain exposure (CCaaS, WEM, analytics, virtual agents) * Experience opening a market or territory from zero for a hyper-growth vendor * Experience co-selling with SIs and channel partners (e.g. Accenture, Telefónica Tech, Sabio-type ecosystem) * Familiarity with Ley SAC and Spanish regulatory drivers in customer service * MEDDPICC (or equivalent) formally trained ## Language & Travel: * Native or negotiation-grade Spanish, fluent English; Portuguese is a strong plus * Madrid-based, with travel across the Iberian Peninsula expected ## Perks & Benefits: We offer a comprehensive and people-first benefits package to support you at work and in life: * Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with plans to fit you and your family * Flexible PTO to take the time you need, when you need it * Paid parental leave for all new parents welcoming a new child * Remote work setup budget to help you create a productive home office * Monthly wellness and communication stipend to keep you connected and balanced ## Compensation at Cresta Cresta’s approach to compensation is simple: recognize impact, reward excellence, and invest in our people. We offer competitive, location-based pay that reflects the market and what each individual brings to the table. The posted base salary range represents what we expect to pay for this role in a given location. Final offers are shaped by factors like experience, skills, education, and geography. In addition to base pay, total compensation includes equity and a comprehensive benefits package for you and your family. This role is variable target compensation eligible. There is potential to exceed target earnings when goals are surpassed.
