Description

  • Develop and own the mid-market go-to-market strategy for France and Germany, including segmentation, channel plays, and local legislative considerations.
  • Lead, coach, and hold accountable a team of first-line sales managers and account executives.
  • Design and execute MVP strategies, test assumptions quickly, and adjust based on data and feedback.
  • Drive team operating cadence across pipeline generation, forecast accuracy, and enablement rhythms.
  • Own recruitment and onboarding for the sales team.
  • Partner with product, marketing, and enablement to adapt global programs for local market needs.
  • Report performance, risks, and opportunities to VP-level stakeholders with transparency on forecast and productivity metrics.

Requirements

  • Proven experience in a second-line sales leadership role within a mid-market SaaS environment.
  • Track record of building and scaling go-to-market motions in European markets, especially France and/or Germany.

  • Comfort with regular travel across the region for team and customer-facing activities.
  • Based in or willing to relocate to Paris or a major German city, with regular travel to the UK.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop first-line managers and run the business through leading indicators such as activity metrics, pipeline coverage, and ramp attainment.
  • Bias for operational rigor and the ability to build systems that do not depend on heroics.
  • Comfort working in ambiguity and building an MVP strategy with limited data.
  • Strong ability to reframe the conversation and displace incumbents rather than competing on features.
  • Experience coaching managers who over-index on individual deals and shifting behavior without losing talent.
  • Strong hiring instincts across cultures and the ability to recruit, assess, and land strong candidates.

Benefits

  • Above-market total compensation with base salary, performance-based bonus/variable pay, and equity for eligible roles.
  • Opportunity to earn differentiated compensation for top performance.
  • Flexible, employee-led remote work model.
  • Professional development stipend.
  • Comprehensive health plans.
