About the Role:

This role bridges the responsibilities of acquiring new customers and fostering growth within an existing book of business across the France region. As a consultative, strategic advisor, the Enterprise Account Executive will leverage deep product knowledge, customer insights, and a results-driven approach to drive new business acquisition (70%) while ensuring customer retention and expansion (30%). The role amplifies Culture Amp’s mission by creating impactful partnerships and delivering measurable ROI to clients.

In this role you will:

New Business Acquisition (70%)
  • Proactively identify and engage potential customers through a mix of outbound calls, emails, LinkedIn, and attendance at marketing events (virtual and in-person).
  • Creation of specific points of view (POV’s) on their identified ‘lighthouse accounts’.
  • Run tailored product demonstrations for People Leaders, establishing credibility and highlighting Culture Amp’s competitive differentiators.
  • Build and manage a robust sales pipeline, expertly guiding prospects through the sales process from discovery to close.
  • Develop and present compelling business cases for prospects to adopt Culture Amp’s platform, leveraging insights and ROI calculations.
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders (e.g., legal, procurement, and security teams) to remove barriers and streamline deal closure.
  • Maintain accurate pipeline and forecasting data in Salesforce and other tools to meet quarterly new business quotas.
Customer Expansion (30%)
  • Serve as a trusted advisor for existing customers, driving retention by proactively identifying risks and implementing tailored mitigation plans.
  • Creation of tailored Account Plans that help serve as a north star for the GTM functions.
  • Conduct regular strategic reviews, leveraging data-driven insights to uncover expansion opportunities and optimize customer engagement with the platform.
  • Build a sustainable pipeline of upsell and cross-sell opportunities, converting them into closed-won deals to achieve expansion targets across a rolling 6 month period.
  • Establish multi-threaded relationships with key stakeholders, fostering deeper connections to ensure long-term loyalty.

You have:

  • 5-7+ years of sales experience (closing) with a focus on both new and expansion driven revenue targets.
  • Proven experience in the SaaS space, particularly within HR Tech or related fields.
  • Strong ability to identify and self-source both new and expansion opportunities, employing innovative strategies.
  • Exceptional executive presence with polished presentation and communication skills, particularly when engaging with VP and C-suite executives.
  • Experience building and navigating relationships within Enterprise environments.
  • Familiarity with sales methodologies, such as MEDDPICC, and a solid understanding of deal stage progression.

  • Skilled in assessing business opportunities and understanding diverse buyer personas.
  • Proven track record in orchestrating the closure of business deals with a clear understanding of customer needs.
  • Experience coordinating cross-functional teams (Solution Consulting, Security, Legal) through complex sales cycles.

Must have:

  • Fluency in French (ideally native) and English
You are:
  • Resilient. You maintain high activity and creativity despite rejection, and treat a stalled deal as a problem to solve, not a reason to move on.
  • Intellectually curious. You go beyond surface-level discovery, understanding business drivers and connecting problems to measurable impact.
  • Assertive and commercially in control. You lead the deal, challenge assumptions, create urgency, and drive clear next steps.
  • A skilled multi-threader. You read stakeholders and power dynamics, and tailor your approach across roles and levels within an account.
  • A team player who views enterprise selling as a team sport, collaborative with peers, cross-functional partners, and your sales leader.
