What it’s like to work at Topsort

At Topsort, we communicate openly and move fast. We say things as they are, challenge each other early, and embrace feedback with curiosity—it’s how we build better, faster. Every experiment has a purpose, and every outcome helps us make the next decision smarter. There’s no single formula for success here; we find what works, improve it, and scale it.

We’re collaborative internally and competitive externally—never the other way around. The pace is quick, sometimes a 100‑mph kind of fast, and that’s what keeps it exciting. We act with intent, lift each other up, and turn bold ideas into real results. No endless meetings here—if it can be done today, it gets done today.

What Is This Role Like?

Topsort is looking for a fluent French‑speaking Account Executive based in Barcelona to help accelerate our growth across the EMEA region. We’re not looking for someone who just wants to “manage accounts.” We want smart, ambitious, commercially hungry people who want to build, win, grow fast, and operate in a high‑performance environment.

This role is for someone excited by ownership, challenges, and the opportunity to work closely with leadership while selling a highly technical and fast‑growing product in the retail media space. You’ll work directly with retailers, marketplaces, and commerce platforms, helping them modernize how they monetize their ecosystems through Topsort’s API‑first retail media infrastructure.

In this role, you will:

• Build outbound pipeline across EMEA markets through strategic, high‑volume prospecting and relationship‑building.
• Research target accounts deeply — understanding their business model, monetization strategy, organizational structure, and buying signals before outreach.
• Own full sales cycles from first touch through discovery, demos, negotiation, and close.
• Communicate Topsort’s value proposition clearly across both business and technical stakeholders.
• Learn and confidently sell complex concepts around retail media, marketplace monetization, APIs, and ad infrastructure.
• Build trust with senior stakeholders across monetization, product, engineering, and executive teams.
• Continuously test and improve messaging, positioning, and outbound strategies based on market feedback and conversion patterns.
• Use AI tools and modern sales tooling to create leverage across research, prioritization, outreach, CRM hygiene, and pipeline management.
• Maintain disciplined forecasting, clean pipeline management, and strong operational follow‑through in HubSpot.
• Represent Topsort at client meetings, conferences, and industry events across the region. Travel is part of the role.
• Operate with urgency, adaptability, and high ownership in a fast‑moving startup environment.
• Treat rejection as feedback and continuously refine how you communicate, sell, and execute.

What We Think You Need to Be Successful

• Fluent in French and English, based in Barcelona
• 1+ years of experience in sales, business development, partnerships, or customer‑facing roles
• Strong communication skills with the ability to build trust quickly
• High ownership mentality and strong execution skills
• Commercially driven, proactive, and resilient
• Comfortable operating in fast‑paced and ambiguous startup environments
• Curious and excited to learn technical products and complex business models
• Strong organizational and pipeline management skills
• Collaborative mindset and ability to work cross‑functionally
• Willingness to travel regionally and internationally when needed

What We Value

• Deep dive into details: Professionals who are not content with superficial answers and dive deeply into the details to uncover root causes and optimal solutions.
• Team first: A low need for individual recognition, always prioritizing collective results over personal credit.
• You thrive with ambiguity: Exceptional ability to tackle open‑ended problems in unstructured environments, turning chaos into structured innovation.
• Adaptability: Willingness to learn, mentor, lead, and follow as the situation demands, fostering growth at all levels.
• Urgency: A disproportionate sense of urgency in execution, while keeping scalability and the creation of replicable processes in mind to ensure long‑term success.
• Curiosity: Genuinely curious individuals who can quickly learn difficult concepts and apply them effectively.
