Head of sales, dach & eastern europe

Join to apply for the Head of Sales, DACH & Eastern Europe role at ClearBank

We do things differently around here. We built ClearBank on the belief that banking infrastructure would no longer slow down progress. Instead, it would be a catalyst that unlocks the potential to innovate and adapt to different needs so a new era in financial services could begin. We’re here to challenge the status quo in banking.

What You Can Expect: ClearBank is a place where you can do things differently and challenge the status quo. We offer a high level of autonomy and transparency, and you will have the responsibility to make the right decisions for the bank. If this excites you, join our European Sales team as a Head of Sales, DACH and Eastern Europe. You will report to the EU Chief Executive Officer and Group Chief Revenue Officer and focus on creating sustainable revenue growth through top-grade sales execution.

In This Position You Will:

• Devise and gain senior management approval for a sales plan, including targets and KPIs, to drive growth of ClearBank Europe in the DACH and Eastern Europe regions, positioning the company as a long-term partner to clients and creating momentum for change.
• Implement the approved sales plan to achieve short, medium and long-term revenue growth and other KPIs.
• Lead sales campaigns and own the end-to-end sales cycle—marshal internal resources, drive consensus for change and negotiate client contracts to achieve objectives and maximize revenues.
• Embed and manage world-class processes (forecasting, pipeline management, territory management, account planning, etc.) to support growth in the DACH and Eastern Europe regions.
• Develop senior-level contacts with major clients, potential clients and partners to drive market traction.
• Develop and manage the partner ecosystem to enhance ClearBank Europe’s sales effectiveness.
• Recommend pricing and sales strategies to the leadership team to maximise long-term value.
• Contribute to the overall leadership of ClearBank Europe and work with cross-functional teams to manage existing clients and provide market feedback and input into product development.
• As needed, build, develop, coach and lead a top-class sales team capable of driving the business forward, providing strong leadership and a high-performing culture.

What You’ll Bring

• B2B sales and client management experience in Banking or Fintech, with experience selling and managing high-value, complex solutions to multi-stakeholder buyers and long sales cycles.
• Experience in sales strategy development and executing plans to achieve revenue goals and KPIs.
• International experience, preferably across Europe.
• Language skills: excellent English and German; fluency in another European language is a plus.
• Proactive leadership mentality with an inclusive, collaborative approach; a self-starter who engages with the wider team and drives initiative.
• Energy, dynamism, and a positive, action-oriented mindset.
• Drive and ambition to succeed and challenge the status quo.
• Resourcefulness and flexibility, ability to work autonomously, manage momentum, and thrive in a fast-changing environment; data-driven and commercially focused.
• Personal qualities: organized, reliable, trustworthy, high integrity, detail-oriented, resilient, determined, open, transparent, and calm.
