Are you a fluent French speaking sales professional looking for a new opportunity?

My client is expanding across global markets and they are looking for an ambitious, commercially driven Account Manager to lead their continued growth throughout France.

As their Account Manager, you’ll have the autonomy, support and resources to grow an established market while identifying new opportunities for growth.

• Supporting distributors with business development initiatives and growth plans.
• Conducting regular meetings with distributors and prospective partners.
• Monitoring account performance and proactively implementing improvement plans where required.
• Developing a deep understanding of the French market and customer expectations.
• Collaborating closely with the wider sales team to share insights and best practices.
• Representing the business at meetings, events and customer visits across France.

What are they looking for?

They are seeking a highly motivated sales/account management professional who combines commercial awareness with excellent relationship building skills.

You will need to be proactive, resilient and comfortable taking ownership of your own market territory. Most importantly, you’ll have the drive to identify opportunities, overcome challenges, and consistently deliver results.
