What you can expect:

Following the successful acquisition and integration of OTRS, EasyVista is entering the next phase of its growth journey in the DACH region and is looking for a Vice President Sales – DACH to lead the commercial transformation of one of its most strategic markets.

The VP Sales (f/m/d) DACH will take full ownership of regional sales performance and commercial execution across new business, upsell, cross-sell, renewals, forecasting, pipeline management, partner development and sales execution.

The role will initially lead a team of six, including Account Executives and Inside Sales, with the organization expected to grow to approximately ten over the next 18 months. The VP will work closely with dedicated Pre-Sales, Customer Success, and Channel resources aligned to the DACH business.

The successful candidate will inherit an established OTRS customer base while simultaneously building the go-to-market strategy for EasyVista’s broader AI-enabled IT Operations platform. The opportunity is therefore to create two complementary growth engines: developing the existing customer base while expanding EasyVista’s broader platform offering across the DACH market.

Initially reporting directly to the CEO and working closely with the SVP Sales Europe, this is a highly visible leadership role with significant influence on the company’s commercial direction.

Leadership Style

We are looking for an entrepreneurial and pragmatic leader. You have the authority and presence to lead a sales organization, but you do not need hierarchy to establish credibility. You are confident enough to challenge existing thinking, but open enough to listen and change your mind when the facts support it. You bring structure without creating bureaucracy and hold people accountable without losing the human side of leadership. You are hands-on when needed. You will review a forecast, join an important customer meeting, coach an Account Executive or challenge a sales process yourself rather than simply delegate. Above all, you are authentic, commercially driven and comfortable taking ownership.
