Account Executive – New Business & Growth

Account Executive - New Business & Growth
SpeakCharlie | Stockholm, Sweden | Full-Time
Are you a natural relationship builder with a passion for language and culture?
Do you love finding new business, connecting with new people, building relationships and closing deals? Are you proactive, curious, persistent and not afraid to pick up the phone?

We're looking for an Account Executive who wants to help drive SpeakCharlie's growth. Someone who gets energy from reaching out to new companies, building a strong pipeline and creating business opportunities.
About SpeakCharlie - Our Why
Since 2014, we've helped international companies and professionals thrive through language training and cultural workshops. Over the years, we've partnered with more than 450 companies, helping people connect, communicate and feel at home - whether that's settling into a new country, gaining confidence to speak up, improving teamwork or strengthening collaboration across borders.

We're a close-knit office team of five, working together with a network of 80 expert language and cultural coaches. We all share a genuine passion for language, culture and people - and we hope you do too!

Some of the companies we've worked with include Spotify, Mojang, Scania and Hemnet.
Your Role
Your main focus will be winning new business and building pipeline. You'll take over a selected number of existing accounts, but most of your time will be spent finding and engaging new clients.

You'll:

• Identify and reach out to new companies and decision-makers.
• Build relationships and create new business opportunities.
• Build and manage a strong sales pipeline.
• Drive the full sales process, from first contact to closing.
• Develop existing accounts and identify new opportunities.
• Work closely with leadership to drive growth.
  

Who You Are

• A natural relationship builder who enjoys finding new contacts and opening doors.
• B2B sales experience and a proven track record of winning new customers.
• Self-driven, ambitious and motivated by results.
• Entrepreneurial by nature - comfortable working in an environment where not every answer or process is already in place.
• Someone who takes initiative, tests ideas, figures things out and makes things happen without waiting for instructions.
• Passionate about language, culture and people.
• Fluent in English and Swedish.

We believe you'll thrive here if you enjoy building something, rather than simply stepping into something that's already built.
Why Join SpeakCharlie?

• Make a real difference: Contribute to a more inclusive society by helping people connect, communicate and feel at home across cultures.
• Have a direct impact: Play an important role in our growth and help shape our future.
• Build something: Help develop our sales engine in an entrepreneurial environment.
• Great people and purpose: Work with a passionate team that believes in the power of language and culture.
• A great place to work: Enjoy our bright, modern office in central Stockholm - with a few four-legged colleagues around too!
  

Ready to Build?
Finding the right person is our priority, so we're flexible on the start date, ideally welcoming our new colleague no later than early 2027.

If you love winning new business, enjoy an entrepreneurial environment and want to sell something that genuinely makes a difference, we'd love to hear from you!
