    About this role

    Everpure (NYSE: P) has evolved from storage pioneer to data platform, closing fiscal 2026 with $3.7 billion in revenue, its first billion-dollar quarter, and accelerating growth into FY27. Our strategic agenda spans the companies defining the next era of technology - hyperscalers, AI labs, the AI hardware supply chain, data platform providers, and the broader AI ecosystem.

    This type of work—work that changes the world—is what the tech industry was founded on. So, if you're ready to seize the endless opportunities and leave your mark, come join us.

    THE ROLE

    As a Senior Account Executive, you’ll help us grow with some of the largest banks and insurers in Germany. You’ll own a focused portfolio of enterprise Financial Services accounts across the country, a mix of established Everpure customers and new logos, and lead the full sales cycle from first conversation to close.

    Banks and insurers are modernising core systems, scaling AI and analytics, moving workloads to the cloud and strengthening cyber resilience, all while meeting strict regulatory requirements such as DORA and BaFin supervision. You’ll get to know those challenges inside each customer’s business and show how Everpure’s data platform helps solve them. You’ll work closely with partners and internal teams, build early success by growing existing customers, then expand into whitespace, including the cooperative and savings bank sectors.

    WHAT YOU’LL DO

    Own a focused portfolio of enterprise banking and insurance accounts and run each one like a business, with clear multi-year account plans.
    Grow existing Everpure customers by uncovering new projects, teams and use cases, and win new logos in whitespace accounts.
