• Speak with Courage: We don’t wait for perfect decks — we start conversations.
• Lead with Curiosity: We share learnings fast, so we can iterate even faster.
• Work with Heart: Enterprise deals are complex — we embrace the chase.

You’ll be working side by side with the founders, product, and engineering, shaping Palm’s growth and leaving your fingerprints on the company we’re building.

How will you make an impact?

• Prospect, qualify, and run full-cycle sales with enterprise CFOs and treasurers.

• Work closely with BDRs to breed mutual success. We all win together.

Where we work

Palm is a remote-first company , with team members across Europe. We value flexibility and believe the best work often happens outside the office.

That said, this role is part of our founding sales team . To build playbooks, collaborate closely, and support each other in a high-growth environment, we’ll have regular in-person sessions (with the AE, BDRs, and founders). We’ll work together to determine the right cadence that supports flexibility.
