Drive a land‑and‑expand sales motion, maximizing new logo acquisition and expansion within existing accounts.

Adapt sales execution to the nuances of each market:

France: SMB, Mid‑Market, and Enterprise

Belgium: SMB and Mid‑Market

Luxembourg: highly relationship‑driven, PE‑focused ecosystem

Operate as a coach‑first leader, focused on developing high‑performing sellers rather than carrying a personal book of business.

Lead rigorous deal inspection, pipeline reviews, and forecast calls, ensuring consistent execution discipline.

Hire, onboard, and develop Account Directors capable of succeeding in a complex, multi‑market region.

Build a high‑accountability, high‑energy sales culture that balances structure with autonomy.

Drive revenue through direct and partner‑led motions, collaborating effectively with regional partners.

Act as a trusted regional leader, strengthening Diligent’s brand and presence across FRABELUX.

Required Experience & Skills

10+ years of sales experience, including leadership roles across Mid‑Market and Enterprise segments.

3–5+ years of people management experience, leading and scaling high‑performing sales teams.

Strong experience selling through or collaborating with partners.

Proven ability to drive forecast accuracy, pipeline discipline, and predictable revenue growth.

Deep understanding of recurring revenue / SaaS business models and value‑based selling.

Ability to lead through influence, coaching, and execution discipline, not micromanagement.

Comfortable operating across different market dynamics and cultures within the FRABELUX region.

Fluency in French and English.

Based in Paris (preferred), with regular travel across France, Belgium, and Luxembourg.

Willing and able to represent Diligent publicly with customers, partners, and at regional events.
