About the job

Our Mission

At Planday, a part of Xero, we believe scheduling goes beyond just filling shifts; it’s about creating an environment where businesses can thrive while employees achieve the ideal work/life balance.

Our innovative use of Agentic AI is set to revolutionize the way managers allocate time, enabling them to focus on what truly matters for their teams and businesses. We are committed to transforming the shift work experience into something human-centered, making work/life balance attainable for all.

Since our inception in 2004, we've been headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, and have supported hundreds of thousands of users worldwide in crafting perfect schedules. Planday became part of the Xero family in 2021.

Your Role

As a Senior Account Executive, you will spearhead new business development by managing and expanding your territory. You will navigate complex sales processes from start to finish, gaining a deep understanding of the challenges faced by mid-market and enterprise clients while clearly demonstrating the operational value Planday brings to their organizations.

Expected to work autonomously, you will take charge of pipeline creation, deal progression, and forecasting accuracy, providing insightful perspectives on how Planday generates value for its customers.

Responsibilities

  • Take ownership of your territory with a focus on increasing Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR).
  • Develop and advance your pipeline through proactive outreach and strategic account planning.
  • Lead comprehensive sales cycles involving multiple stakeholders and extended decision-making periods.
  • Conduct high-quality discovery sessions to identify customer challenges and articulate clear value propositions.
  • Facilitate customer discovery, deliver customized product demonstrations, and lead negotiations to provide tailored solutions.
  • Ensure strong pipeline management and maintain rigorous forecasting standards.
  • Adopt a collaborative, low-ego approach to work across teams, prioritizing opportunities and enhancing execution.

What We Seek

  • Demonstrated success as a Senior Account Executive in the B2B SaaS sector.
  • A proven track record of successfully closing new business and driving growth.
