Job description

Hi! 👋I’m Ayrton, based in Amsterdam. Working in software sales has shown me how meaningful this field can be when the environment supports real growth. Over the past few years, WeTravel has built strong momentum across Europe, with successful expansion across markets like the UK, Ireland and Italy. France is one of our next major growth opportunities, and I’m building a team to help us accelerate our presence in the market. This role combines Account Executive and Business Development responsibilities. You’ll have support and best practices to lean on, but you’ll also be expected to figure things out, test ideas and adapt quickly to shape the market If you’re motivated by learning, committed to reaching your personal income goals, and willing to bring sustained energy to your work, you’ll fit well here. It’s a remote role with potential for long-term growth. It won’t suit everyone. It suits people who want to build something meaningful through consistent, thoughtful work. ***How We Work*** At WeTravel, our Sales team combines autonomy with strong collaboration. As an Account Executive, you'll own the full sales cycle — from initial outreach and discovery calls to product demos, closing deals, and smoothly handing off to onboarding.
