The posting

At Kpler, we are dedicated to helping our clients navigate complex markets with ease. By simplifying global trade information and providing valuable insights, we empower organisations to make informed decisions in commodities, energy, and maritime sectors.

Since our founding in 2014, we have focused on delivering top-tier intelligence through user-friendly platforms. Our team of over 850 experts from 69 countries works tirelessly to transform intricate data into actionable strategies, ensuring our clients stay ahead in a dynamic market landscape. Join us to leverage cutting-edge innovation for impactful results and experience unparalleled support on your journey to success.

About the role

This is a rare opportunity to build and lead Kpler’s growth across Continental Europe’s defense and intelligence community. You will own the full sales cycle, from first conversation to signed contract and beyond, working with ministries, agencies and public sector institutions where our data directly supports national security and policy decisions.

If you are a natural hunter who thrives on complex, high-value deals and wants your work to matter, this role offers real ownership, visibility and impact.

What you will do

  • Win new business. Own the end-to-end sales cycle, identifying, pursuing and closing high-value opportunities across government accounts.
  • Grow what we have. Manage strategic existing accounts, uncovering upsell and cross-sell potential.
  • Navigate the public sector. Lead us through tenders, RFPs and long procurement processes to win and retain contracts.
  • Build lasting relationships. Become a trusted partner to senior decision-makers across ministries, agencies and institutional clients.
  • Drive regional growth. Deliver ambitious revenue targets and shape our strategy for the region.
  • Work as one team. Partner with Customer Success, Marketing and Product so clients get the most value from Kpler’s solutions.
  • Keep the pipeline sharp. Maintain accurate pipeline and forecasts in the CRM to support data-driven decisions.
  • Be the face of Kpler. Represent us at industry events, conferences and client meetings.

What you bring

  • Experience in SaaS/DaaS/data platform sales to government institutions is a plus.
  • A proven track record of hunter-style sales, consistently meeting or exceeding revenue targets
  • Deep knowledge of government procurement, including tenders and RFPs
  • A strong professional network you can put to work from day one
  • Experience managing large, strategic accounts in multi-stakeholder environments
  • A consultative approach to selling, paired with a competitive, results-driven mindset
  • The ability to juggle multiple complex opportunities in a fast-paced, high-growth setting
  • Fluent English and at least one other major European language (e.g. French, German, Spanish, Italian)

Kpler is committed to providing a fair, inclusive and diverse work-environment. We believe that different perspectives lead to better ideas, and better ideas allow us to better understand the needs and interests of our diverse, global community.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
