Résumé du poste

CarOnSale is seeking a field-oriented Sales Director for France to own targets from the Paris-Strasbourg corridor and eventually roll out nationwide. You will start in the field, meeting dealers, onboarding them to the platform, and guiding their first sales on CarOnSale.

You will hire and lead a team of up to six sales reps, coordinate with our French partner, and connect the French market with Berlin teams for product, operations and marketing support.

Qualifications

• At least three years of disciplinary leadership of a sales team, with people of very different profiles.
• Background in French automotive retail, ideally as a site manager, dealership director, or sales director in a dealer group
• A strong network among French dealers and used-car professionals
• Working knowledge of the French used-car market: registration, taxation, and regulation
• You like building from scratch, and you have the resilience and patience a market launch needs
• French at C2 level, English at B2 level or above for working with our teams in Berlin
• Driving license (category B) and willingness to travel regular

Responsabilités

• You own the sales targets for France, first in the region between Paris and Strasbourg, then nationwide.
• In the first months you sell in the field yourself: you meet dealers, sign the first customers, and take them through their first sales on the platform.
• You hire and lead a team of up to six sales reps (field and inside sales) and steer them on clear KPIs.
• You work with the teams of our French partner to bring the dealers in their network onto CarOnSale.
• You connect the French market with our teams in Berlin (Product, Operations, Marketing): you bring in what French dealers need and explain our processes to your customers.
• You set up clean processes from day one: customer onboarding, KYC and opportunity management in Salesforce.
• You represent CarOnSale at trade fairs, in trade media, and at industry events.
