Upvest is a fintech infrastructure company on a mission to democratize investing across Europe. Founded in 2017 and backed by €280M in funding from top-tier investors including BlackRock, Tencent, and Sapphire Ventures, Upvest powers investment-as-a-service for Europe's leading fintechs and financial institutions like Revolut, N26, DKB, and Raisin. With over 270 employees across 70+ nationalities, the company is scaling rapidly following a €105M Series C in March 2026.
As an Associate Account Executive in the Growth team, you will drive sales for Upvest's Investment API, working directly with the Director of Business Development for the DACH region. Your primary focus will be winning and delighting large financial institutions—banks, wealth managers, and brokers—by helping them digitize their investing propositions. You'll own the full sales cycle from discovery through contract closing, managing complex, high-value relationships with multiple stakeholders.
Key responsibilities include: owning cross-functional sales cycles to meet or exceed targets; taking a consultative approach to understand client needs and develop compelling commercial propositions; building and maintaining strong relationships through regular calls and industry networking; contributing to sales enablement and process improvement by sharing client insights; and enabling seamless onboarding through collaboration with implementation teams.
You bring 1-3+ years of sales experience, ideally in investments, banking, wealth management, or B2B SaaS with API-based products. Alternatively, you may have 1-3+ years at a specialized financial services consultancy focused on IT infrastructure for investment services. You have strong understanding of B2B sales methodologies (solution/consultative selling), excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, demonstrated negotiation abilities, and hands-on project management experience. Industry knowledge of investments, securities trading, and software-as-a-service is essential.
It's a plus if you have experience selling to banks or wealth managers, deep knowledge of investment industry trends and competitive landscape, and a strong professional network in the sector. German fluency (C2) and Berlin-based location are preferred.
Upvest invests in its people with €20,000/year AI tool budgets, 30 days annual leave, sports benefits, professional coaching, remote work flexibility (up to 183 days/year abroad), personal development budgets, and UpRest—a fully paid one-month sabbatical after every 4 years.
