SimScale is a cloud-native simulation platform empowering engineers with fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetics, and multiphysics analysis capabilities. The platform allows for real-time collaboration and integrates AI to enable faster, more efficient simulations without the need for special hardware. It serves industries such as architecture, automotive, electronics, and more, providing a cost-effective, scalable solution for engineering simulations.

📋 Description

• Own the commercial growth agenda for SimScale's top-tier EMEA accounts : build and execute Account Growth Plans that expand SimScale's footprint in annual revenue, product breadth, and organizational reach. • Drive cross-sell of SimScale's Engineering AI and Physics AI capabilities : introduce and commercialize our AI product line to engineering leaders and technical decision-makers who are already SimScale simulation users. • Open new doors within existing organizations : identify and engage new business units, departments, engineering teams, and executive sponsors who are not yet part of the SimScale relationship. • Build executive-level partnerships : establish yourself as a trusted strategic advisor at C-level and VP-level, positioning SimScale as a long-term partner in customers' engineering innovation and digital transformation strategies. • Coordinate a high-performing internal team : collaborate with CSMs, Application Engineers, AEs, SDRs, and CS/Sales leadership to deploy SimScale's full capabilities in service of account growth. • Generate and manage your own pipeline : conduct structured outbounding within customer organizations, qualify expansion opportunities, and drive deals from first contact to close. • Lead Executive Business Reviews : facilitate strategic EBRs that position SimScale's roadmap and AI capabilities against customers' engineering ambitions, cementing multi-year partnership value. • Articulate a compelling cross-product value proposition : tell the story of CAE simulation and Engineering AI together; make the case for why SimScale is the platform for the future of engineering, not just a tool for today.

🎯 Requirements

• 7+ years in a quota-carrying commercial role in SaaS, technical software, or engineering solutions sales (CAE, PLM, CAD, EDA, or comparable). • A proven track record of growing existing accounts, not just hunting new logos. • Strong background in simulation, PLM, CAD, or adjacent engineering software : you understand the value of simulation in product development and can engage credibly with Heads of Engineering, VP R&D, and Chief Engineers. • Experience as a strategic account farmer : you know how to build relationships across large customer organizations, identify whitespace, and open new commercial conversations where others see a closed door. • Demonstrated success selling or introducing a second product line to an existing customer base : you understand multi-product expansion mechanics and can tailor your narrative to different buyer personas. • Executive presence and communication mastery : you can present with confidence and conviction in front of senior audiences, simplify complex technical or AI concepts for non-technical buyers, and write compelling commercial proposals. • Sales discipline and Salesforce excellence : you maintain a clean pipeline, forecast accurately, and generate your own opportunities through structured outbounding and relationship-driven discovery. • Team-selling mindset : you thrive working alongside CSMs, AEs, Application Engineers, and SDRs in a coordinated commercial motion, and you know how to influence internal stakeholders to unlock resources for your accounts. • Hunter instinct inside the installed base : you don't wait for expansion conversations to come to you; you engineer them through proactive outreach, insight-led engagement, and strategic relationship building. • Willingness to travel for on-site executive meetings with key accounts: estimated 20–30% travel.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive compensation : base salary + variable component tied to expansion ARR quota attainment, plus comprehensive benefits tailored to your EMEA country (health coverage, pension, paid time off, and more) • Flexible, remote-first working setup : work from anywhere in the EMEA region with the autonomy to structure your own engagement cadence. • Professional development : access to online learning platforms, industry certifications, internal tech talks, and direct exposure to some of the world's most innovative engineering organizations. • A multicultural, inclusive team : colleagues from 35+ countries, unified by curiosity, ambition, and a genuine belief that engineering simulation should be accessible to everyone.
