Job Detail

2 billion! That is the number of employees on earth that are currently disconnected from their organization. We strive to connect them - fast. Crazy ambitious goal, right? If it is too crazy for you, Beekeeper is not the right company for you. But if this sounds like a once in a lifetime opportunity to think big and deliver impact, then continue reading. It is only getting better.

As an Account Executive with a product that delivers massive value by transforming workplaces, the world is your oyster of opportunities waiting to be turned into business. While digitalization has picked up momentum over the last years, we are still in the early days. For you, this means that there is a plethora of companies out there that value a professional, consultative expert explaining them the benefit of using one single platform to engage their entire workforce on any device.

Of course, we are a team and you will have all the support necessary, but those deals are your deals and you are responsible for bringing them home.

You will talk to and consult manufacturing companies, hotels, retailers and many other industries – from HR over Communications, Operations, IT up to C-Level. This requires you to be proactive, creative, likeable, persuasive and be willing to walk the extra mile on strategically chosen initiatives. Our technology is turning our clients´ internal communication and HR processes upside down. So you will succeed when you truly understand your prospects challenges and their internal structure while establishing a strong relationship and trust in you as the solution provider.

Nonetheless, you are also comfortable to switch gears and lead negotiations to finalize an agreement and stand up for Beekeepers interests.
