Your Job

  • This is a full-cycle, outbound individual contributor sales role
  • Achieve and exceed monthly and quarterly sales targets by developing and executing effective sales strategies and tactics
  • Generate new business through outbound prospecting efforts such as cold calling, email campaigns, and social selling
  • Conduct product demos and presentations to potential clients to effectively communicate the value of Statista’s products and services
  • Stay up to date on Industry trends and competitive landscape to effectively position Statista’s offerings in the market
  • Utilize Salesforce to execute activities, pipeline, and forecast accurately

Your Profile

  • Bachelor’s degree required
  • Minimum 5 years of B2B sales experience as a salesperson
  • SaaS or Subscription based sales experience preferred
  • Strong communication, presentation, and negotiation skills
  • Full sales cycle experience – from prospecting to closing deals
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team environment

Your Team

The Americas Hunter team is a six-person team of Account Executives and an SDR within Statista’s Core Revenue organization. We win new business for Statista’s data platform, Consumer Insights, and Statista Connect, our data solution for companies building products, AI tools, and benchmarks on licensed data.

We don’t wait for inbound. We build pipeline through signal-led outbound: researching what’s actually happening inside an account, finding the moment where our data matters, and starting conversations that feel like insight, not a pitch. Discovery runs on SPICED, deals move on mutual action plans, and every week we look at our own patterns to figure out what’s working and scale it.

AI is part of how we work every day. We build and use agents for account research, prioritization, and deal preparation so our time goes to thinking and selling, not admin.

You’ll join a team that’s coached, not micromanaged, where ownership of your pipeline is expected and growth is the point. Team members are based in the US and work remotely or from Statista’s New York office.

What we offer

In addition to our great team, culture, and our shared goal of empowering people with data, there are many other things that make Statista a great place to work! Join us and benefit from:

  • Work from abroad up to 30 calendar days a year
  • Hybrid work and flex-time
  • International team and social events
  • Subsidized urban mobility and access to fitness and wellness options
  • Free access to Langdock and all its amazing functionalities
  • Career & training opportunities
  • Attractive locations and modern offices
  • Mental health support with OpenUp

Some of the benefits listed here apply only to the German entity and to Junior-level roles or above.
