Sales Executive (France)
About the role
As a Senior Sales Executive (France), we are looking for a person to develop new business opportunities for Witboost, a platform that enables companies to manage data products through automation, governance, and interoperability.
This role is intended for a person with experience in enterprise sales, capable of opening new opportunities, selling complex solutions, and building long-term value. You will own the French market, working closely with Pre-Sales to land a small number of high-impact, strategic enterprise deals.
This is not a volume sales role. It is a position for someone who wants real ownership, influence on go-to-market strategy, and the opportunity to shape how a market is built.
In this role, the Sales Executive is expected to bring entrepreneurial drive to operate in a new market segment, work with new partners, and explore this new territory as a self-service country lead.
How you’ll make an impact at Witboost
As a Sales Executive, you will:
Own new business development in France, with full responsibility for building pipeline and closing enterprise deals
Proactively open conversations with C-level and senior stakeholders (CDO, CIO, Heads of Data, Architecture)
Lead complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles from first contact to closing
Work closely with Pre-Sales to shape solution narratives, demos, POCs and MVPs
Proactively engage prospects to clarify uncertainties, remove roadblocks and keep momentum high throughout the sales cycle
Position Witboost as a strategic platform, not a point solution
Build trusted relationships based on credibility, not feature selling
Collaborate with partners and resellers where relevant
A day in the life
You'll report to the Head of GTM and typically:
Open new enterprise accounts and expand your executive network
Run discovery sessions focused on organizational and architectural challenges
Shape opportunities and deal strategy together with Pre-Sales
Coordinate demos, workshops and POCs with clear objectives
Drive internal alignment on proposals, pricing and deal structure

10–15+ years of experience in enterprise B2B software sales
A strong background selling complex platforms (data, analytics, infrastructure, governance, or similar)
A proven track record in new business / hunter roles
An established network in large enterprises and the French data / IT ecosystem
Experience closing high-ACV, long-cycle deals with multiple stakeholders
You are
Enterprise hunter focused on opening new opportunities and selling complex solutions
Comfortable owning a territory and shaping go-to-market choices
A curious person interested in how organizations work, not just how tools work
An autonomous, structured, and accountable person
At ease working with architects, platform teams and executives
Fluent in French and English
Willing to travel as needed
