Job description

A French-speaking Enterprise Account Executive role selling a high-value SaaS subscription and premium enterprise solution for a world-leading global design brand, focused on new business across France, Benelux and Francophone Africa. You'll be selling into agencies, brand owners, procurement and legal teams, representing a globally recognised, market-leading brand with real credibility at enterprise level.

Client Details

The client is a global, market-leading design and technology company that sits at the intersection of creativity, branding and enterprise software. Its platform is used by some of the world's most recognisable brands to protect, manage and scale their visual identity, combining licensing, compliance and premium creative solutions.

With a strong enterprise customer base, international reach and long-term partnerships, the business is trusted at board and legal level as well as by creative and brand leaders. It's well known in its space, commercially experienced, and now investing further in enterprise growth across international markets.

Description

Key Responsibilities:

Own and grow new enterprise relationships across French-speaking regions through a consultative, value-led sales approach
Manage the full sales cycle end-to-end, from first conversation through negotiation and close
Build and execute strategic account plans across named enterprise accounts
Engage senior stakeholders across creative, brand, legal, procurement and commercial teams
Position a premium, market-leading solution as a long-term strategic investment rather than a transactional purchase
Develop a strong pipeline through a mix of inbound demand and targeted outbound activity
Identify opportunities where organisations are using competitors or operating without compliant solutions
Collaborate closely with marketing, product and leadership to align on enterprise growth strategy
Accurately forecast revenue and maintain high CRM and process discipline
Represent the brand professionally at senior level, building long-term trust and credibility with customers

Profile

The successful candidate will be a commercial, French-speaking B2 B sales professional who is motivated by complex, consultative enterprise sales and long-term customer value rather than quick transactional wins. They will be confident operating in senior-level conversations and comfortable navigating multiple stakeholders with differing priorities.

You'll likely identify with the following:

Fluent in French (spoken and written), with the ability to sell credibly across international markets
Proven experience closing new business in a B2 B environment, ideally within SaaS or a solution-led model
Ready to step up into enterprise-level sales or already operating comfortably in longer, more strategic deal cycles
Strong consultative seller who can uncover commercial, creative, legal and compliance drivers
Confident engaging with senior stakeholders such as brand leaders, procurement, legal teams and agency partners
Curious, commercially sharp and able to position value rather than lead with price
Structured, organised and disciplined with pipeline management and forecasting
Self-motivated, resilient and comfortable in a hunter role with high ownership and accountability

Above all, the successful candidate will be excited by the opportunity to represent a world-leading brand, build long-term enterprise partnerships, and grow within a business that values thoughtful, high-impact selling.
