We’re looking for a commercially driven Account Executive to join Statista’s New Business (Hunting) Sales team. In this role, you will be responsible for acquiring net-new customers by selling Statista’s data, insights, and research solutions to decision-makers across a wide range of industries.

You will lead a consultative sales process focused on Statista’s subscription-based licenses, multi-seat agreements, and enterprise-wide access to data, reports, and custom insights.

This role is ideal for a true hunter who thrives on outbound prospecting, building pipeline, and closing new logos.

Your Tasks

• Own the full new business sales cycle for net-new logos—from outbound prospecting and discovery through proposal, negotiation, and close

• Sell Statista’s core products, including platform licenses, seat-based subscriptions, and multi-year agreements, with a focus on long-term customer value

• Identify and engage decision-makers across Marketing, Strategy, Insights, Finance, Consulting, and Executive leadership

• Conduct structured discovery to understand client use cases (e.g., market sizing, competitive

analysis, consumer insights, pitch support) and position Statista as a must-have intelligence partner

• Deliver tailored demos and presentations showcasing Statista’s data breadth, global coverage, and analytical capabilities

• Build and manage a strong pipeline to consistently meet or exceed monthly, quarterly, and annual new business targets

• Partner closely with SDRs, Marketing, and Sales Enablement to drive outbound campaigns and event follow-up

• Accurately forecast and manage pipeline using Salesforce and other sales tools

• Stay up to date on Statista’s product enhancements, premium content, and custom research offerings

What Success Looks Like

• Consistent achievement of new logo and revenue targets

• Strong outbound activity with high-quality discovery conversations

• Closing multi-seat and multi-year licenses that expand Statista’s footprint within new

organizations

• Effective navigation of complex buying groups and longer sales cycles

• Trusted advisor relationships with prospects prior to close

What You Bring

• 2–6+ years of B2B new business sales experience, ideally in data, SaaS, research, or subscription-based products

• Proven success closing net-new logos and managing full-cycle sales

• Comfort selling value, not just price—especially in consultative, insight-led sales motions

• Strong executive presence and ability to sell to senior stakeholders

• Experience with outbound prospecting and pipeline generation

• Familiarity with CRM systems (Salesforce preferred) and modern sales tools

Nice to Have

• Experience selling data, insights, market research, or intelligence platforms

• Exposure to global or multi-market customers

• Knowledge of MEDDICC, Challenger, or similar sales methodologies

• Experience closing multi-year or enterprise license agreements
