• Building strong relationships with key decision makers and stakeholders, identifying opportunities across departments, subsidiaries, and international teams

• Managing contract renewals and negotiations to demonstrate value, strengthen client loyalty, and secure long-term partnerships

• Managing the sales pipeline and revenue forecasts, maintaining accurate CRM records and providing timely sales reports

• Collaborating with Client Success, Marketing, Sales Operations, and Product teams to drive successful program adoption, client satisfaction, and account growth

What You’ll Offer

• 5+ years of experience in B2B sales or key account management, with a track record of achieving sales targets and growing existing client accounts

• Strong consultative selling, negotiation, and closing skills, including experience in upselling, cross-selling, and contract renewals

• Excellent relationship-building and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to develop long-term partnerships with international clients and senior decision-makers

• Experience with strategic account planning and structured sales methodologies, such as MEDDICC, to qualify opportunities, navigate complex sales processes, and drive revenue growth

• Fluent English and French with the confidence to communicate effectively with international clients

• Strong organizational and analytical skills, including proficiency in CRM systems, sales pipeline management, revenue forecasting, and sales reporting

What We Offer

• Work-Life Balance: Benefit from our remote work from home culture, with options to collaborate with colleagues in regional offices (if applicable). Enjoy generous paid time off including public and personal holidays and two company-wide days off per year to recharge

• Learning & Development: Access to language learning, masterclasses and professional development opportunities with a culture of coaching and constructive feedback

• Community Events: Make new friends and connect with colleagues at virtual wellbeing sessions, team-building activities and informal social clubs
