About Chainels

Chainels is building the operating system for real estate. Our TenantOS helps property managers and landlords manage their residential properties, engage tenants, and demonstrate their impact. We're post-Series A, trusted across 20+ countries, powering 1,000+ communities and 500,000+ users, and on a trajectory to €10M ARR. AI is our way forward. It's not a buzzword. It's how we grow, and it's becoming how our platform thinks.

The team you'll be joining

You'll be joining a Go-To-Market team of 15 spanning Marketing and Sales. As a full-cycle Account Executive Residential, you own the full sales cycle for new business in the European residential segment. You'll be supported by RevOps, marketing, and partnership leads, but this is fundamentally a hunter role. You source, you run, you close.

You'll report to the Head of Sales and work closely with Account Management, Solution Engineering, Operations and Product. You're not an order taker — you're a builder of relationships and pipeline, with a direct line to how we grow our residential customer base.

This is a role for someone who wants to take ownership. The residential segment is one of our fastest-growing verticals. There's real whitespace, real pipeline to build, and real commercial upside for the right person.
