Job description

Shape the future of smart workplaces in Switzerland - Are you a driven sales professional who thrives on building new business and making a visible impact? Do you want to be the person who brings a global leader’s vision to life in your home market? At Planon, we’re not just looking for another account executive, we’re looking for a pioneer.

Why this role is different
Planon is a world leader in smart workplace and building management software, trusted by organizations like Swiss Post, Swiss Re, AIA and ETH Zurich. Backed by Schneider Electric, we’re expanding rapidly and investing in Switzerland as a strategic growth market. This is your chance to be our dedicated New Business Sales Executive in Switzerland. Someone who will shape our presence, open doors, and set the standard for success.

You’ll have the autonomy to build your own strategy, the support of a high-performing DACH team, and the credibility of a company recognized by Gartner as a global leader. You’ll work with innovative solutions, a strong customer base, and the freedom to make your mark.

What you’ll do

  • Identify and pursue new business opportunities with strategic enterprise accounts in Switzerland.
  • Follow up on all generated leads, demo requests, and contact forms to maximize every opportunity.
  • Meet and exceed individual sales targets for each product category.
  • Represent Planon proactively at industry events, conferences, and on social media, expanding our reach in both existing and new market segments.
  • Manage your pipeline and deals according to approved pricing and contract terms, keeping everything up to date and accurate in Salesforce.

Profile

At Planon, we believe our people are the key to our success. We’re looking for someone who’s not just skilled, but passionate about building relationships, driving results, and making a real impact in the Swiss market. If you’re ready to take ownership and help shape our future, you’ll fit right in.

You have:

  • Swiss nationality or deep roots in Switzerland, with strong knowledge of the local market (Zurich area preferred)
  • Fluency in Swiss German (German and English required; French is a plus)
  • At least 5 years of successful new business software sales experience, ideally in facility/asset management or related sectors
  • A strong network and proven ability to build relationships with enterprise clients in Switzerland
  • A self-starter mindset: independent, ambitious, and eager to deliver results quickly as part of a collaborative team

We offer

A healthy work-life balance and the possibility of working hybrid. We encourage a collaborative and learning work environment, which is why we offer constant learning and meaningful training opportunities. In addition, we offer challenging projects with world-leading clients and extraordinary experiences. 

Join us on our journey to become the recognised world leader in Smart Sustainable Building Management software solutions. How we do this? By putting our people at the heart of our company and creating an inspiring and safe environment that allows all of us to work, learn, live, and play.
