Account Executive France

Are you prepared to fuel the growth of an exciting scale-up that's transforming the logistics industry? Do you thrive on building strategic relationships and close deals? If so, we might have the perfect opportunity for you!

Logistics? Maybe not what you dreamed of as a kid. But building a fast-growing international SaaS scale-up that’s transforming how some of the world’s largest industrial companies operate? That’s a different story.

Peripass is a tech company at heart. We build software that digitises and automates complex logistics environments for companies like Bridgestone, Alpro and Arcelor Mittal. These companies have hundreds of trucks (un)loading every month, and our SaaS platform helps them orchestrate that whole process. Peripass is a high-impact SaaS platform used in international enterprise environments.

Want to be part of this adventure? As an Account Executive France within the Sales Team,

you will have a front-row seat to the growth of an international SaaS scale-up and play a key role in expanding our presence in the French market.

• Own the full sales cycle: You will be responsible for selling our SaaS solution and independently managing qualified sales opportunities from initial engagement through signed contract. This includes identifying and qualifying prospects, conducting discovery conversations, developing business cases, managing stakeholders, negotiating and closing deals.

• Build our presence in France: Identify target accounts and create new business opportunities through strategic outbound prospecting and personalised outreach across relevant industries. Work closely with our BDR team to open conversations with new prospects and build awareness of Peripass in the French market.

• Pipeline momentum and sales velocity: Proactively collaborate with internal stakeholders and customer champions to maintain momentum, reduce sales cycles, and improve win rates. This involves consistent follow-ups, addressing blockers, and aligning on goals.

• Existing customer growth: Identify opportunities for cross-selling and selling to additional sites within existing customer accounts, in close collaboration with Customer Success and other relevant teams.

• Deal negotiation and closing: Take commercial leadership in deal negotiation and closure, ensuring alignment with the prospect's needs while achieving company revenue and margin goals. This includes handling objections and finalising contracts.

• Travel across France: the role involves travelling approximately two to three days per week within France to meet prospects and customers.

• Work from our new French office: We are soon opening a new office in Paris.

• Visit our Ghent HQ approximately every six weeks to connect with your colleagues. To get you fully acquainted with your colleagues, you'll also get an in-depth onboarding at our HQ during your first two weeks.
