    About this role

    Who we are:

    At OpenUp, we believe mental well-being should be as accessible and normal as going to the gym. Our mission is simple but ambitious: to make mental well-being available to everyone.

    We partner with companies to support their employees and families through proactive, practical mental health services. Our platform brings together 1:1 check-ins, courses, content, group sessions, and mindfulness practices - all supported by a dedicated network of experts. We take a holistic view, connecting mental and physical well-being through lifestyle coaching focused on sleep, nutrition, and exercise.

    Today, we support over 1,500 companies and 500,000+ employees globally, including Rituals, Deloitte, Decathlon, KPMG, and McDonald’s. Recognised as a Top 3 LinkedIn Startup in 2023, 2024 and 2025 - and we've got big plans to keep growing our client-base, which is where this role comes into play.

    Your opportunity:

    We’re growing our presence in the DACH market and are looking for entrepreneurial, purpose-driven Account Executives to help build this market with us.

    In this role, you own the full sales cycle end-to-end - from identifying opportunities and opening conversations, through to closing deals and building long-term relationships. This is not a “plug-and-play” sales role; it’s an opportunity to shape how we grow in DACH.

    You’ll work closely with our Business Development, Customer Success, and Marketing teams as part of a collaborative, international commercial team.
