While our tech-powered platform connects over 1,000,000 top-tier freelancers with 100,000+ companies, the Dutch Enterprise sector presents a massive, untapped frontier. This market is dominated by complex, multinational corporate structures with deeply entrenched procurement protocols that are ripe for disruption.</li> <li data-path-to-node="6"><strong data-path-to-node="6" data-index-in-node="0">The Task:</strong> We are not hiring you to manage an existing portfolio or farm warm leads. You are being brought in to architect and own the zero-to-one enterprise acquisition strategy for the DACH region. Operating as the "founder" of your territory, your mandate is to systematically penetrate massive global accounts, navigate labyrinthine procurement structures, and secure highly scalable, multi-country Master Service Agreements (MSAs) that will cement Malt's dominance in the German-speaking market and beyond.</li> <br><strong>Key Responsibilities ✨</strong><br><div> <p data-path-to-node="8"><strong data-path-to-node="8" data-index-in-node="0">Pillar 1: Strategic Territory Architecture &amp; Hunting</strong></p> <li data-path-to-node="9,0,0"><strong data-path-to-node="9,0,0" data-index-in-node="0">Action:</strong> Map out complex, global enterprise accounts within the DACH region, aggressively designing and executing surgical prospecting strategies to breach heavily fortified multi-stakeholder environments (Procurement, HR, and independent Business Units).</li> <li data-path-to-node="9,1,0"><strong data-path-to-node="9,1,0" data-index-in-node="0">Output:</strong> A localized, highly qualified pipeline of net-new DACH Enterprise logos and concrete, multi-threaded stakeholder maps.</li> <li data-path-to-node="9,2,0"><strong data-path-to-node="9,2,0" data-index-in-node="0">Metrics of Performance:</strong> Enterprise GSV Pipeline Generated and CRM forecast integrity.</li> <p data-path-to-node="10"><strong data-path-to-node="10" data-index-in-node="0">Pillar 2: Deal Orchestration &amp; RFP Command</strong></p> <li data-path-to-node="11,0,0"><strong data-path-to-node="11,0,0" data-index-in-node="0">Action:</strong> Run rigorous, in-depth discovery utilizing the full MEDDIC framework to validate severe business pain, identify the true Economic Buyer, and aggressively lead end-to-end RFI/RFP processes alongside our Bid Management and technical teams.</li> <li data-path-to-node="11,1,0"><strong data-path-to-node="11,1,0" data-index-in-node="0">Output:</strong> Compelling, ROI-driven business proposals and precisely engineered enterprise pilot programs designed to prove undeniable platform value.</li> <li data-path-to-node="11,2,0"><strong data-path-to-node="11,2,0" data-index-in-node="0">Metrics of Performance:</strong> RFI/RFP Win Rate and Pilot-to-MSA Conversion Rate.</li> <p data-path-to-node="12"><strong data-path-to-node="12" data-index-in-node="0">Pillar 3: Heavy-Weight Negotiation &amp; Scalable Revenue Activation</strong></p> <li data-path-to-node="13,0,0"><strong data-path-to-node="13,0,0" data-index-in-node="0">Action:</strong> Command ruthless, complex negotiations for global Master Service Agreements involving tight friction with Legal, Finance, and Procurement across multiple countries.
