    About this role

    We are entering a new era of work — one where AI agents collaborate alongside people to plan, act, and deliver outcomes at a scale and speed that wasn't possible before. At Asana, we call this Agentic Work Management: the orchestration of humans and AI agents toward shared goals, with full clarity on who is responsible for what, every step of the way. As a Corporate Account Executive, you will be at the forefront of this shift. You won't just be selling software — you'll be helping DACH organisations understand and solve their most pressing work management challenges, and guiding them toward a future where their teams and AI agents move together with purpose and trust.

    This role is based in our Munich office with an office-centric hybrid schedule. The standard in-office days are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Most Asanas have the option to work from home on Wednesdays. Working from home on Fridays depends on the type of work you do and the teams with which you partner. If you're interviewing for this role, your recruiter will share more about the in-office requirements.

    • Surface Real Pain: Ask the questions that reveal deep operational challenges—not just the stated need—so that solutions you propose are anchored in what actually matters to the business.
    • Map Stakeholder Motivations: Map stakeholder motivations from frontline teams to the C-suite, identifying where the greatest leverage lies for transformative change.
    • Drive Customer Outcomes: Manage a portfolio of co
