Since launching in France in 2023, we’ve seen rapid growth, and now we’re looking for experienced sales professionals who want to combine hands-on sales excellence with future leadership opportunities.

About the Role

We are hiring a Senior B2B Sales Manager to strengthen our French sales team. This is a hands-on sales role first, where you will:

• Go through our comprehensive sales onboarding program
• Run the full B2B sales cycle: from prospecting to closing, and account management
• Drive new customer acquisition while developing long-term relationships with senior decision-makers

We believe the best leaders lead by example. That’s why all future team leaders at ME first excel in the role of Sales Manager. Once you have proven strong results and shown leadership qualities, you will have the opportunity to grow into a Team Lead position, coaching and developing others while continuing to contribute as a sales professional.

What You’ll Do

• Own the sales cycle: Prospect, pitch, negotiate, and close deals with solution providers in the French market
• Develop accounts: Build long-term partnerships with key clients and expand opportunities across accounts
• Show leadership early: Mentor newer colleagues, share best practices, and act as a role model within the team
• Path to Team Leadership: With proven success, step into people leadership – coaching, supporting, and driving results for a growing sales team

About You:

• Experienced Seller: 3–6+ years of experience in B2B sales, ideally in technology, consultancy, or professional services
• Mentor Mindset: You may have managed or coached colleagues before, or you’re ready to step up into that challenge
• Strategic & Hands-On: Strong in building pipeline and closing deals, while also thinking about long-term account growth
• Communicator: Fluent in French and comfortable working in English
• Growth-Oriented: You’re ambitious, motivated, and excited to grow into leadership – but you know it starts with leading yourself first

What We Offer:

• Clear Leadership Path: Start as a Sales Manager, grow into a Team Lead role with people management responsibility
• Comprehensive Onboarding: Learn our sales model and get hands-on coaching from day one
• Career Development: Access to our Sales Academy and Leadership Academy to sharpen your sales and leadership skills
• Performance Rewards: Attractive base salary with an uncapped commission model tied to your performance
