About Shufti Pro:
Shufti Pro is a global leader in AI-powered identity verification (IDV) and compliance solutions. We are on a mission to make the digital world safer for businesses and their customers.

We are building the sales engine to bring our category-leading technology to every business in Europe that needs it.
Role Overview: Own the European SMB Market
We are seeking a Sales Account Executive with strong IDV and B2B SaaS sales experience. You will be responsible for the full, end-to-end sales cycle: from prospecting in your territory to conducting value-based demos and closing deals. You will leverage a proven sales playbook and a rich tech stack to engage with founders, product managers, and compliance leaders at SMBs, demonstrating how Shufti Pro can be a competitive advantage for their business. Your success will be measured by your ability to consistently hit and exceed monthly and quarterly sales targets.
Key Responsibilities:
Full-Cycle Sales Execution:
- Hunt & Prospect: Proactively generate your own pipeline through targeted outbound efforts (email, social, calls) using Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, and other tools, while also converting inbound marketing-qualified leads.
- Qualify & Demo: Conduct rapid, effective discovery to understand prospect pain points and qualify opportunities using a structured methodology like MEDDPICC or SPICED. Deliver compelling, tailored product demonstrations that focus on business outcomes.
- Negotiate & Close: Own the entire negotiation process, from pricing discussions to contract signing, focusing on landing new logo customers and establishing a foothold for future growth.
Territory & Pipeline Management:
- Build and maintain a robust, accurate sales pipeline in Salesforce, ensuring a consistent flow of new opportunities to meet and exceed quarterly quotas.
- Develop a deep understanding of the European SMB market, including regional regulatory nuances and competitive landscapes.
- Provide accurate weekly forecasts and clearly communicate the state of your business to sales leadership.
Cross-functional Collaboration:
- Work closely with Sales Development Representatives (SDRs) to strategize on top-of-funnel generation for your territory.
- Partner with Solution Engineers on more technically complex demos or proof-of-concepts.
- Act as the voice of the SMB customer, providing feedback to Product and Marketing on market trends and feature requests.
Who You Are: The Ideal Profile
- Current SMB Account Executive, top-performing BDR ready for promotion, or Inside Sales Rep with a proven record of thriving in fast-paced, transactional sales environments.
Mandatory Experience & Skills:
- IDV (Identity Verification) experience is a must.
- 2–4 years in a full-cycle closing role (or a high-performing BDR role with demonstrable closing experience) within B2B SaaS, with at least 1+ year specifically in Identity Verification, KYC/AML, or Fraud Prevention.
- Proven quota attainment: consistently meeting or exceeding sales targets in a high-velocity environment.
- Sales tech stack proficiency: Salesforce (or similar CRM), Sales Navigator, and sales engagement platforms like Outreach or Salesloft.
- Familiarity with a structured sales process and qualification framework.
- Language skills: Fluent in English. Proficiency in German, French, Spanish, or Italian is a significant advantage.
Core Competencies:
- Relentless Hunter: Driven to self-generate pipeline and identify new opportunities.
- High Velocity & Agility: Manage a high volume of activities and move deals efficiently through the cycle.
