Sample interview questions
I start by segmenting accounts by fit, revenue potential, urgency, and buying complexity. I create account plans for priority targets, align outbound activity with marketing and partner motions, set pipeline-coverage targets, and review conversion metrics regularly to reallocate effort toward the strongest opportunities.
In a previous enterprise cycle, I mapped the economic buyer, technical evaluators, operational champions, security stakeholders, and procurement early. I built a mutual action plan with clear business outcomes, coordinated solution consultants and leadership for targeted sessions, and maintained executive alignment through each approval stage until close.
I would combine targeted account-based prospecting, relevant industry messaging, executive outreach, partner relationships, and marketing programs. I would prioritize the stated verticals—airlines, betting and gaming, travel, and telco—using customer-service automation use cases tied to measurable cost, resolution, and customer-experience outcomes.
I forecast from verified buyer actions rather than optimism, including confirmed business pain, access to the economic buyer, technical validation, procurement status, and an agreed close plan. I document risks, next steps, and close-date assumptions in the CRM, then communicate both upside and downside clearly to leadership.
I conduct regular account reviews to understand adoption, realized outcomes, new business priorities, and adjacent teams with similar needs. I turn whitespace into a quantified business case, secure internal champions, and run an expansion process that connects additional use cases to the customer's strategic goals.

About the Role
Ada is looking for a seasoned Enterprise Account Executive to take command of our DACH & Nordics territory — a high-visibility seat for someone who wants real ownership over how a region scales, not just a quota to hit. You’ll run the entire sales motion end to end: generating your own pipeline alongside our SDR team, navigating complex, multi-business-unit enterprise cycles, and both winning new logos and expanding the accounts already in your book. This is built for a seller who has already operated at the executive level and wants the latitude to build — orchestrating cross-functional deal teams, partnering with Customer Solutions Consultants on high-stakes demos, and reporting directly into Sales Leadership on quarterly forecasts. Expect to be in the room with clients across the region roughly 30% of the time, with periodic trips to collaborate in person with our London team.
About You
- 5+ years of experience as an Account Executive selling B2B SaaS
- Proven enterprise sales experience across DACH and Nordics
- Track record managing a $1M+ ARR new-business territory
- Consistent history of exceeding quota
- Demonstrated ability to prospect and build pipeline in competitive markets
- Strong sales acumen and executive presence
- Effective time management and organizational skills
- Open to approximately 30% travel for client visits
Outcomes
- Build and execute a territory plan that drives $1M+ in new-business ARR, with quota attainment as your core measure of success.
- Build and maintain a sales pipeline at 4.5x coverage, partnering with marketing, partnerships, and product to fuel it across the region.
- Grow existing accounts by surfacing whitespace and new use cases, and by closing renewal and expansion opportunities as they arise.
- Open up key enterprise segments — Airlines, Betting & Gaming, Travel, and Telco — through executive outreach, marketing initiatives, and strategic partnerships.
- Deliver accurate weekly forecasts that give Sales Leadership a reliable read on quarterly results.
The expected salary range for this position is €190,000 – €230,000 OTE. Actual pay will be determined based on several factors such as past experience and qualifications, geographic location, and other job-related factors permitted by law.
