Account Executive, Flourish (m/w/d) – Munich (German-speaking)
Where and How You Can Work
While Canva's global headquarters is in Sydney, Australia, Munich is home to Canva's growing enterprise presence in Germany. Canvanauts have a say in where and how they work.
Flourish is the world's leading data storytelling platform. Since joining the Canva family in 2021, Flourish has helped more than a million registered users turn raw data into beautiful, interactive graphics for newsrooms, corporations, NGOs, universities and government departments around the world.
As an Account Executive on the Flourish team, you'll build the relationships and close the deals that bring data storytelling to more organisations across Germany and the DACH region. You'll be selling to German-speaking customers, so fluency in German is essential.

•Preparing and delivering pitches and presentations, running a structured discovery process, and connecting customer challenges to Flourish's features
•Negotiating contracts and working closely with Legal and Security to get deals across the line
•Tracking every stage of your pipeline in the CRM, and handing over new customers to the Success team in great shape
•Partnering with Marketing on events and campaigns that drive new business, and sharing customer feedback that helps shape the Flourish product roadmap
You're Probably a Match If:
•You've got a few years of B2B sales experience, ideally managing a full sales cycle from prospecting through to close, with a track record of hitting or beating your targets
•You're comfortable initiating conversations with senior stakeholders and can hold your own in a room with multiple decision-makers
•You know how to turn a complex product into a simple, compelling story for the customer in front of you
•You're organised and can juggle a pipeline of opportunities without letting the details slip
•You're curious about data and storytelling, and excited to learn the ins and outs of a product like Flourish
•You've got the right to work in Germany and are fluent in both German and English (written and spoken), as you'll be pitching, negotiating and building relationships with customers in German
