Your role:
You own the French market on the sales side. You'll build and lead a high-performing AE team from the ground up – hiring, ramping, coaching and holding the bar on day-to-day execution.
You stay close to the front line: running deals yourself when it matters, jumping into demos and discovery calls, and setting the standard for how we sell in France.
You own the French sales number – monthly and yearly targets – and you're accountable for a reliable forecast . You work hand in hand with Marketing on lead-gen for the FR market and with Customer Success on clean handoffs.
You translate what works in DACH into the French context, feed learnings back to the leadership team, and shape how the whole French sales motion scales.
What's waiting for you:
- Market ownership: Full responsibility for fonio's sales performance in France.
- Team building:
Hire, ramp and coach the French AE & SDR team as we scale.
- Player-coach: Lead from the front – stay in deals and demos, not just dashboards.
- Quota ownership: Clear monthly and yearly targets for the FR market - you´re setting it up for the team.
- Cross-functional impact: Close collaboration with Marketing, Customer Success and the founders.
- Build, don't maintain: Shape the French sales motion in a fast-scaling startup.
