Key Account Executive (Europe)

<h2><strong>About CoLab</strong></h2> <p>At CoLab, we want to help mechanical engineering teams bring life-changing products to market years sooner.</p> <p>CoLab is a cloud based platform for engineering design review. We make it easy for subject matter experts (SMEs) across your business to access, evaluate, and comment on 2D drawings and 3D models. Our built-in AI peer checker, AutoReview, scans designs for common errors or non-compliance with your standards and guidelines. AutoReview creates markups and comments on your files, in context – just like a human checker.</p> <p>With CoLab, human SMEs and AI work together to help you make better decisions and improve designs faster. We automatically capture knowledge from across your global business that would otherwise be buried in emails, spreadsheets, slide decks, and unknown locations in Sharepoint or PLM. Then, we make sure every lesson learned and every design guideline is applied exactly when it matters.</p> <p>Companies like Johnson Controls, Komatsu, Schaeffler, and Polaris have launched products 40% faster, cut BOM costs by 50%, and reduced quality escapes by 15% in 1 year.</p> <h2><strong>About the role</strong></h2> <p>As a <strong>Key Account Executive (Enterprise Sales)</strong>, you’ll focus on CoLab’s largest accounts in Europe, engaging with senior engineering leaders in large enterprises.
