Job description

The role is about starting conversations from scratch with French companies, mostly by phone, to find the people who own customer operations and turn interest into qualified opportunities for the sales team. A strong candidate is disciplined, curious about how businesses run, willing to learn a technical product, and keeps going through rejection. Building account lists, testing outreach messages, and feeding what prospects say back to the team are core parts of the work.

How it fits the AI era

The product itself is AI voice agents, so the role sits close to a fast moving category where companies are learning to handle customer conversations at scale. AI can help draft outreach and organize account research, but the real work of reaching people, listening, and judging whether a problem is urgent stays human. The person who can explain a technical product clearly in conversation will matter more as the market grows.

How it builds AI experience

Working here means learning how AI voice agents are built, deployed, and improved for large consumer facing companies, which is useful ground for anyone moving toward AI sales or solutions work. That knowledge is built by talking to prospects about their customer operations and by testing outreach with AI tools. The posting asks for willingness to learn a technical product rather than prior AI experience.

Worth showing

• French and English fluency
• Daily outbound prospecting
• Clear first conversations
• Discipline through rejection
• Fast message testing
