Your Mission
We’re looking for a Sales Director to lead our French sales team based in Barcelona. In this role, you’ll not only lead but actively drive sales — selling our services to solution providers in the French market while setting the standard for your team. This is your opportunity to make a real impact, work alongside passionate sales leaders across Europe, and thrive in a fast-paced, ambitious environment where leadership means leading from the front.
In this role, you will:
Drive French market sales growth through your own sales efforts and leadership (division roughly 50/50), leading from the front and closely collaborating with Sales Directors from other markets.
Open new customers, and further on build strong retention. You drive high performance culture by being an example and active on-the-job coach to the team.
Lead, coach, and inspire a team of sales managers to exceed ambitious targets, track and drive KPI’s.
Collaborate cross-functionally with product and customer success teams, bringing insights from the market, customers, and broader economic environment.
Report to Sales Director France in Berlin.
What We’re Looking For
5+ years in B2B sales leadership role with 5-10 direct reports from BRDs to AE’s, sales focused on the French market. You know how the market functions, how sales work is conducted, and how the B2B environment there works.
A strong network within technology and consultancy companies; a background in sponsorship sales for large-scale business conferences is a plus.
Strong business acumen with strengths in leading sales process, managing pipeline, accurate forecasting of team results, and reporting sales performance.
Excellent business level communication skills in French and fluent in English.
Experience with consultative, solution-based sales cycles.
What We Offer
Performance rewarded: You’ll receive an attractive compensation package with base salary, commission, and an additional starter bonus to support you as you ramp up and build your sales pipeline.
Growth and learning: From day one, you’ll benefit from a four-week onboarding program and continuous coaching through our international ME Academy, ensuring you’re always developing and moving forward in your career.
Career opportunities across Europe: As we continue to grow, you’ll have the chance to explore international opportunities. With offices in Helsinki, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Copenhagen, Berlin, Stockholm, Kuala Lumpur, and Barcelona, your career can take you anywhere.
Recharge & Thrive: We care about your well-being and want you to stay energized both inside and outside of work. That’s why you can earn up to 12 extra vacation days each year and enjoy local perks such as gym and massage discounts, along with other wellness benefits. Curious about the details in your location? Ask your recruiter to learn more.
We win together: Collaboration is our driving force, and every success is shared. That’s why we love bringing people together through company trips, international events, and local office celebrations — whether it’s hitting the slopes in Levi, running the Berlin Marathon together, or celebrating milestones across our offices in Europe.
Annual company trip: Every summer, all employees from our different offices come together in Finland for an exciting company trip - a mix of team building, knowledge exchange, and celebrations.
Global Community & Diversity: Diversity is part of our DNA. With colleagues from over 50 nationalities, you’ll join an international community where every culture, perspective, and background fuels innovation and success.
