- des rituels managériaux réguliers (Javelo),
- des recrutement collaboratifs (Recruitee),
- un suivi des collaborateurs efficace (Kiwi).

Tout ça pour quoi ? Pour recruter efficacement, échanger un feedback objectif et individualisé Et permettre à chacun de s'épanouir dans un environnement de travail sain !

C'est ça l'ADN de Tellent : beaucoup de feedbacks et de transparence pour permettre à chacun d'évoluer et atteindre nos objectifs ambitieux ! Le tout dans une entreprise qui a a coeur de maintenir un environnement de travail sain et convivial :) Job Description

As an Account Executive in the French market, you will be responsible for driving new business growth and owning the full sales cycle, from prospecting to closing.

As part of the Sales team, you will report directly to our Head of Sales for France. With more than 1,000 customers already using our products in France, our ambition is to continue this strong momentum and double both our revenue and customer base in the coming years.

Your 12-month journey as a Senior Account Executive

Your first three months - you will be fully onboarded and certified on Tellent's product and sales process. You will start running your own discovery calls and demos independently and begin building your pipeline through outbound efforts and closing your first deals.

By the six-month mark - you will consistently achieve your monthly activity, pipeline creation and ARR targets, while running multiple self-sourced opportunities and engaging with different stakeholders across your accounts. You will also demonstrate forecast accuracy and actively contribute to knowledge-sharing within the team.

By the end of your first year - you will be exceeding your annual quota, have built strong reference customers in your territory, and be recognized internally as a top performer.

- Own the full sales cycle, from prospecting to closing, with a focus on new business acquisition.
- Build and manage your pipeline through outbound activities and by leveraging marketing- and partner-generated leads.
- Run complex sales cycles (3-6 months) involving multiple stakeholders across Finance, HR, and C-level.
