You'll be selling into agencies, brand owners, procurement and legal teams, representing a globally recognised, market‑leading brand with real credibility at enterprise level.

The client is a global, market‑leading design and technology company that sits at the intersection of creativity, branding and enterprise software. Its platform is used by some of the world's most recognisable brands to protect, manage and scale their visual identity, combining licensing, compliance and premium creative solutions.

With a strong enterprise customer base, international reach and long‑term partnerships, the business is trusted at board and legal level as well as by creative and brand leaders. It's well known in its space, commercially experienced, and now investing further in enterprise growth across international markets.

Description

Key Responsibilities:

• Own and grow new enterprise relationships across French‑speaking regions through a consultative, value‑led sales approach

• Build and execute strategic account plans across named enterprise accounts
• Engage senior stakeholders across creative, brand, legal, procurement and commercial teams
• Position a premium, market‑leading solution as a long‑term strategic investment rather than a transactional purchase
• Develop a strong pipeline through a mix of inbound demand and targeted outbound activity
• Identify opportunities where organisations are using competitors or operating without compliant solutions
• Collaborate closely with marketing, product and leadership to align on enterprise growth strategy
• Accurately forecast revenue and maintain high CRM and process discipline
• Represent the brand professionally at senior level, building long‑term trust and credibility with customers
  

Profile

The successful candidate will be a commercial, French‑speaking B2B sales professional who is motivated by complex, consultative enterprise sales and long‑term customer value rather than quick transactional wins.

• Fluent in French (spoken and written), with the ability to sell credibly across international markets
• Proven experience closing new business in a B2B environment, ideally within SaaS or a solution‑led model
• Ready to step up into enterprise‑level sales or already operating comfortably in longer, more strategic deal cycles
• Strong consultative seller who can uncover commercial, creative, legal and compliance drivers

• Curious, commercially sharp and able to position value rather than lead with price
• Structured, organised and disciplined with pipeline management and forecasting
• Self‑motivated, resilient and comfortable in a hunter role with high ownership and accountability

Above all, the successful candidate will be excited by the opportunity to represent a world‑leading brand, build long‑term enterprise partnerships, and grow within a business that values thoughtful, high‑impact selling.

• Competitive compensation with a strong base salary, uncapped commission and meaningful upside for high performers
• Structured onboarding, training and support to set you up for success from day one
