Founding Account Executive (f/m/x)

Permanent employee, Full-time · Mindfuel Munich, Remote

ABOUT THE ROLE
This is your opportunity to play a key role in Mindfuel’s next growth phase toward Series A and beyond.
As our Founding Account Executive and the first AE at Mindfuel, you will join an early, ambitious commercial team with real traction. Your focus will be to take a working sales motion and help turn it into a scalable revenue engine.
You are joining at a moment where your impact truly matters. It is early enough that you can shape how we sell, but grounded enough in what already works so that you can build on a strong foundation.
You will collaborate closely with a small and motivated GTM team, including our CEO, our SDR and our product leadership. Together, you will expand and professionalize our sales approach, while independently driving your own opportunities and bringing your experience into how we evolve our commercial strategy.
This role combines ownership, influence and momentum. If you want to help shape a growing Data and AI SaaS company from an early stage and directly influence Mindfuel's trajectory, this is the right moment to join.

About us
Mindfuel was founded on a simple idea: data and AI initiatives don’t fail because of technology – they fail because of poor strategic alignment, unclear value, and unstructured management. We’ve seen how even the most promising use cases get stuck in backlogs, spread across slides, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems, as well as duplicated effort because of a lack of transparency.
At Mindfuel, we believe that data and AI teams should be able to demonstrate measurable business value from their initiatives and not act as reactive service providers with no clear impact. So we built Delight – a platform designed to help them manage their portfolio with purpose. Managing AI shouldn’t require ad hoc workflows or only responding to the loudest voice in the room. Teams need a better way to intake, prioritize, and track use cases – one that puts business value front and center.
Our mission is to enable enterprises to be structured, transparent, and focused on outcomes by enabling them to collect and prioritize high-value initiatives, align and communicate with stakeholders, and demonstrate business impact. By replacing fragmented tools and manual processes with a single source of truth, connecting all use cases and data products, we empower data teams to manage their portfolio with clarity, efficiency, and strategic focus from day one.
Headquartered in Munich and serving enterprise clients globally, Mindfuel is on a mission to help organizations get more out of their data and AI investments – not by scaling effort, but by scaling focus.
