What you will do

About the Card-Linked Team

The Card-Linked team helps retailers acquire and retain customers by offering in-store offers to our 5M+ users, leveraging banking data to personalize each offer. We partner with around 100 top-tier French retailers (including Carrefour, Decathlon, Leroy Merlin, and Sephora) and have achieved 4× growth over the past three years.

About the Role

As Account Management Lead (Card-Linked), you will play a pivotal role in driving the growth and success of our existing partnerships.

You’ll report to and work closely with the VP Card-Linked, collaborating cross-functionally with Marketing, Business Operations, Finance, Product, and Data teams to ensure strategic alignment and sustained growth.

To achieve this, you will:

• Team leadership: hire, train, and develop a high-performing Account Management team. You will set clear goals, provide ongoing coaching, and foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and excellence.

• Commercial excellence: support your team by taking part in key negotiations with our top partners; build strong and long-lasting relationships with our partners (CMOs and senior marketing stakeholders across retail and e-commerce).

• Performance tracking: define and own the team’s revenue targets and OKRs. Partner with the VP Card-Linked to build quarterly plans and collaborate with internal teams (marketing, product, ops, data) to drive execution.

• Revenue operations: ensure we have all the right processes in place (revenue forecasts, CRM management, etc.) to keep growing with the right fundamentals; optimize cashed-in revenue. Work closely with Business Operations and Finance teams to develop and implement these processes.

• Strategic projects: lead cross-functional initiatives to improve our partner value proposition, pricing models, and internal efficiency.

• Preferred experience: at least 6-8 years of experience in business roles (client-facing roles in a startup or in the tech industry, in finance or in consulting), preferably in Sales or Account Management.

• Education: You have graduated from a top-tier business or engineering school.

• Entrepreneurial Spirit: A passion for starting from scratch, embracing challenges, being hands-on, ambitious, and an effective problem-solver.

• Independence: Capable of autonomous project management from inception to completion, setting and exceeding high standards, and ensuring project success.

• Business sense: A keen ability to quickly grasp people's needs, surpass goals, and close deals.

• Analytical skills: You love analyzing data and making informed decisions.

• Energy: You thrive on connecting with new people. Your strength lies in active listening and crafting solutions to tackle challenges.

• Efficiency: You are fond of productivity tools and able to deliver on time on projects with many stakeholders.

• Mindset: You like challenges, you welcome feedback and you love constantly learning and getting better. You have a strong capacity for adaptation, organization, and autonomy. You always go the extra mile.

• Languages: You are fluent in French and English, written and spoken.

• Managerial experience is a strong plus.

• Knowledge of the media & adtech ecosystem is a plus.

• This role is based in Paris.
