Junior Account Executive
About Us
Compensation is more than a paycheck, and traditional approaches don't adequately reflect it or the way people work today.
We're on a mission to change that. We see compensation as everything a company gives its people in return for the work they do. It should be easier to understand, offer, manage and spend.
Long-term, we're working towards becoming the place where compensation happens and is managed by those who award and receive it. We're on our way to coining the term "Compensation-as-a-service".
We’re proud to be backed by leading European VC funds, having raised over €20 million.
About You
We’re growing fast in Italy, and to accelerate this growth, we’re looking for a Junior Account Executive to own the entire sales cycle, from prospecting to closing, focusing on meal vouchers for companies with up to 50 employees.
Must haves:
- You've previously worked as a top performer SDR/BDR in sales, ideally with 1–2 years of previous experience.
- You are comfortable with cold outreach, enjoy the thrill of the first “yes”, and don’t get discouraged by a “no”.
- You are hands-on, proactive and driven by results.
- You love working in a startup environment: fast, messy, learning every day.
- You care about what you sell and the problem it solves.
- You are able to conduct exploratory lead research and transform that lead into a concrete opportunity.
- You’re always finding a new way to open a window if the main door has been closed.
- You are a go-getter and self-driven when it comes to improving things.
- You are not afraid of the competition.
- Fluent Italian (C2 or equivalent) and fluent English (internally, we communicate exclusively in English).
Nice to haves:
- Worked in HR tech, welfare, fintech or similar industries.
- Previous experience in the benefits market is a plus.
- Experience with HubSpot.
- Experience selling to small businesses.
- Curious about employee benefits and wanting to shape the future of work.
The Role
This role is a step between a classic BDR and a full Account Executive: you’ll generate your own opportunities, occasionally manage inbound leads, and handle deals end-to-end — until the company makes its first meal voucher payment.
You’ll be part of a small, high-energy, early-stage team in Italy. You’ll talk to founders, HR managers, and office managers.
Your target will be mainly based on the volume of revenue generated.
Main responsibilities:
- Own the full sales cycle: from first contact to deal closing.
- Identify and reach out to new potential customers.
- Run discovery calls and product demos (no script-reading here).
- Close deals with a consultative but pragmatic approach.
- Keep our CRM and pipeline clean and accurate.
- Share feedback to improve our product, pricing, and positioning.
What we offer
- On-Target Earnings (OTE) between €35,000 and €45,000, with a 70/30 fixed-to-variable ratio.
- Uncapped commission structure – no limit to what you can earn.
- Additional benefits include welfare, meal allowance, stock options and other perks.
- Full flexibility: remote-first, work from anywhere within Italy.
The stages for this hiring process are:
- CV Screening;
- Pre-interview quiz;
- Technical interview with Hiring Manager;
- Interview with People;
- Quick chat with Country Manager;
- Final chat round with CEO.
Equal opportunity employer:
Coverflex is an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered and analysed regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, or disability status.
