Industry research shows that women and those in traditionally underrepresented groups generally don't apply to jobs unless they check all the boxes for the role. If you feel strongly that you have what it takes for this role but don't check 100% of the boxes - that's okay - we encourage you to apply anyway and highlight what you can bring to the table!

Role Overview

This is a high-impact individual contributor role at the heart of Botify's South EMEA growth engine. You will own a territory of mid-market accounts across France and Southern Europe, taking full ownership of the sales cycle — building pipeline from scratch, running discovery, and driving deals through to close. You'll work alongside a BDR and in close partnership with a Solutions Consultant to win new logos in a market that is actively waking up to the AI visibility problem.

The best candidates for this role aren't just closers — they're genuinely curious. They ask better questions than their competitors. They care about understanding a customer's business deeply enough to connect it to outcomes that matter. That curiosity is what makes the difference between a transactional rep and a trusted commercial partner.

What you'll do:
  • Take full ownership of the mid-market sales cycle — building pipeline from scratch, running discovery, and driving deals through to close

  • Generate a minimum 3x self-sourced pipeline alongside BDR-sourced opportunities, running disciplined outbound across your account set

  • Lead executive-level discovery conversations that get to the root of how a brand's AI visibility strategy — or lack of one — is affecting revenue

  • Apply MEDDPICC rigorously to qualify, progress, and forecast opportunities accurately; maintain clean Salesforce hygiene at every stage

  • Build multi-threaded relationships across Marketing, Digital, eCommerce, and C-suite stakeholders within target accounts

  • Develop and present compelling business cases that connect Botify's platform to measurable commercial outcomes

  • Leverage AWS and GCP co-sell relationships and Marketplace listings to accelerate pipeline and access new accounts

  • Collaborate closely with Solutions Consulting and Customer Success to ensure a seamless handoff and strong customer start

  • Bring market intelligence back to the team — sharing what's working, what you're hearing from prospects, and what the competition is doing

Who you are:

You are a commercially driven, endlessly curious mid-market SaaS seller. You don't wait for inbound. You study your accounts before you pick up the phone. You ask second and third-level questions in discovery because the first answer is rarely the real one. You know that the rep who understands the customer's business best usually wins, and you act accordingly.

You live in AI tools. Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity — you use them to research accounts, sharpen your messaging, prep for calls, and move faster than the competition. You don't wait to be told to use new tools; you're already experimenting

You thrive in a category that's moving fast. You can explain a complex, technical product in plain language and connect it to what a CMO actually cares about. You take your forecast seriously and you close what you say you're going to close.

What we're looking for:
  • 3-6 years of closing experience in a mid-market SaaS environment, with a consistent track record of quota attainment

  • Experience running the full sales cycle independently — from self-generated pipeline to signed contract

  • MEDDPICC-trained or equivalent; you use it as a thinking tool, not a checkbox

  • Strong discovery skills — the ability to ask questions that surface real business pain and build urgency

  • Comfortable selling into Marketing, Digital and eCommerce functions; experience with martech, analytics, or digital experience platforms is an advantage

  • Proficient in AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity or similar) as part of your everyday working practice

  • Clean Salesforce discipline and accurate, well-reasoned forecasting

  • Native or bilingual French required; professional English required; Spanish and/or Italian a plus

Why Botify
  • You're joining at a pivotal moment — agentic commerce is not a future trend, it's happening now, and Botify owns the infrastructure layer

  • Active co-sell relationships with AWS and GCP give you access to partner pipeline, Marketplace deals, and field collaboration that most SaaS companies can't offer

  • Competitive OTE with uncapped commission and equity options

  • Strong French benefits: GEREP health mutual (50% covered by Botify), 25 days holiday + RTT, Meal Voucher (10€/day), Access to sport and culture subsidies through the Botify CSE, Moka.care wellbeing platform, Bravely coaching, €500 travel stipend, and more

  • A tight-knit, high-performance South EMEA team with real camaraderie and a coaching culture

We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences. If you don’t meet every requirement but believe you could succeed in the role, we would still love to hear from you.

Salary:

65,000€ - 85,000€ base salary per year + variable

What we offer:

To keep our employees happy and motivated, we are always assessing the benefits/perks we offer to ensure we are competitive. Here are some we’d like to highlight:

  • Location: brand new offices in the center of Paris (7 rue de Madrid 75008 Paris, straight out of Gare Saint-Lazare)

  • Hybrid remote policy

  • Attractive Remuneration Package with BSPCE (for Permanent full-time role - CDI)

  • Fun office culture & regular outings such as Team Off-Sites, Annual Kick-Off, Quaterly Team Lunch, Thirsty Thursdays etc. 

  • Lunch vouchers, 50% of transportation reimbursement, fitness classes, generous CSE advantages etc. 

  • Compelling growth perspectives 

Start date: as soon as possible
