## About the role:
As a founding Enterprise Account Executive for Iberia, you will own a book of 13-25 Enterprise accounts across Spain and/or Portugal, running full-cycle deals from discovery to close in 3-9 months. You'll sell value directly to operative buyers, with new-logo generation as a core part of the role as we grow Cresta's brand across the region.
As part of the founding Iberia team, you'll work alongside a 10-person Madrid-based org (SDR, SC, and Customer Success) and help shape the region's go-to-market strategy from the ground up.
## Responsibilities:
• Manage a portfolio of 13-25 Enterprise accounts in Spain and/or Portugal
• Generate your own pipeline — Cresta drives strong inbound, but Enterprise AEs are expected to self-source roughly 50% of pipeline
• Own full sales cycles end-to-end, from discovery through close, typically 3-9 months
• Sell value directly to operative buyers, building and delivering your own product demos and business cases
• Prioritize new-logo generation as a key part of growing Cresta's brand and footprint in the region
• Partner closely with Product, Marketing, Customer Success, and Engineering to deliver an exceptional customer experience
## Qualifications We Value:
• 5+ years of B2B SaaS closing experience as an individual contributor, with consistent quota overachievement in at least 2 of the last 3 years
• Track record closing deals of €80K-€400K ARR on 3-9 month cycles, running multiple parallel deals end-to-end with limited overlay support, including self-sufficient demos
• New-logo-first motion, with demonstrated logo velocity rather than an account-management/expansion quota
• Disciplined outbound pipeline generation — proven self-sourced pipeline alongside SDR/marketing support, with multichannel cadences in Spanish
## Nice-to-Have:
• Direct experience selling CX/contact center software (CCaaS, QA, agent assist, virtual agents) to CX/Operations buyers
• Early-stage or market-launch experience — comfortable operating without brand pull, playbooks, or local marketing support
• Salesforce + Gong fluency and strong forecast hygiene
• Catalan or Portuguese a plus for broader Iberia coverage
## Language & Travel:
• Native or negotiation-grade Spanish, fluent English; Portuguese is a strong plus
• Madrid-based, with travel across the Iberian Peninsula expected
## Perks & Benefits:
We offer a comprehensive and people-first benefits package to support you at work and in life:
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with plans to fit you and your family
• Flexible PTO to take the time you need, when you need it
• Paid parental leave for all new parents welcoming a new child
• Remote work setup budget to help you create a productive home office
• Monthly wellness and communication stipend to keep you connected and balanced
## Compensation at Cresta
Cresta’s approach to compensation is simple: recognize impact, reward excellence, and invest in our people. We offer competitive, location-based pay that reflects the market and what each individual brings to the table.
The posted base salary range represents what we expect to pay for this role in a given location. Final offers are shaped by factors like experience, skills, education, and geography. In addition to base pay, total compensation includes equity and a comprehensive benefits package for you and your family.
This role is variable target compensation eligible. There is potential to exceed target earnings when goals are surpassed.
OTE Range: TBD (comp benchmarking in progress) + Offers Equity
