The Vizzia Sales team is structured to win strategic deals and expand internationally. You'll join a Sales team of 40+ people (VP Sales, Sales Managers, AEs, KAMs, BDRs, Pre-Sales Engineers) and operate in a market where the demand is real - and the pipeline is yours to build. 🎯 Mission As an Account Executive , you will close €350K in ARR in year one and €700K in year two , while managing your French region end-to-end. The sales model is defined: 4-6-month cycles, €30k average deal size (customers typically pay 3 years upfront), 20-30% closing rate from first meeting to won. The playbook exists. What we need is someone who executes it at pace - and pushes past it when the situation calls for it. ➡️ What you'll be doing 1. Build the pipeline Generate 5-10 qualified meetings per week from month one, combining BDR-sourced leads with autonomous prospecting Map accounts with rigor: identify the right decision-makers (Mayor as ICP) and prioritize with discipline 2. Run full sales cycles Conduct discovery, diagnostic, and restitution meetings with multi-level stakeholders: technical services, elected officials, mayors Build project proposals sized to the real need - ambitious, not undersized out of caution Close deals autonomously on standard accounts; reach €350K ARR by month 12 3.

A "no" is a signal to reframe - not to disengage. Autonomous and organized: you manage your pipeline to hit current targets and anticipate what's coming next, not solely relying on BDR leads Scale-up mindset: resourceful, comfortable without a perfect framework, you find doors when the obvious one is closed Coachable: feedback lands and is quickly integrated Performance-driven: comfortable with ambitious targets, striving to exceed performance Driving license (Permis B) required Full professional proficiency in French & English Strong plus: public sector sales
