About the team
The Iberia Sales team is responsible for expanding Stripe’s footprint across Spain and Portugal. We focus on both winning net-new logo accounts and driving strategic growth within high-potential existing customers. We move with urgency, operate with focus, and pride ourselves on delivering strong commercial results through disciplined outbound execution, strategic account management, and high-quality customer engagement.
What you'll do
As an Account Executive for Iberia, you will drive revenue expansion across the Spanish and Portuguese markets. Whether acquiring net-new logos or driving deep adoption and cross-sell strategies within key existing accounts, you will act as a trusted advisor to senior business leadership. You'll execute long-term sales strategies, engage internal and external stakeholders, align on technical and business requirements, build value in competitive situations, and lead commercial negotiations to close.
Responsibilities
- Drive commercial revenue growth across Spain and Portugal by winning new accounts, expanding current partnerships, or both.
- Own the full sales cycle—from prospecting and pipeline generation to account planning, upselling, and closing complex transactions.
- Partner closely with cross-functional teams, including SDRs, Product Sales specialists, Solutions Engineering, Account Management, Risk, and Legal.
- Develop and execute strategic account plans to increase product adoption and unlock new revenue streams within target business units.
- Lead deal strategy, account mapping, and commercial negotiations for large, high-impact business opportunities.
- Collaborate with Regional Partnerships and Marketing to build pipeline, boost brand awareness, and deepen regional market penetration.
