Who we are, what we do and why:

Dext is a fast-growing fintech transforming bookkeeping through AI and machine learning. Founded in London, we now operate across Europe, North America, and APAC, with a presence in six countries and over 400 employees worldwide. Our platform empowers accountants, bookkeepers, and businesses to simplify accounting processes and make smarter, more timely financial decisions.

In 2024, Dext joined the IRIS Software Group, further strengthening our ability to deliver end-to-end accountancy solutions. We’ve achieved 99.5% data accuracy, saved over 35 million hours of manual data entry, and are trusted by 12,000 firms and 700,000 businesses globally. With integrations across major accounting software and over 11,500 financial sources, we’re proud to be at the forefront of innovation in the accounting space.

We’re looking for a driven, strategic, and results-oriented Senior Account Executive ready to own the full sales cycle and drive outbound growth in the French market. 🚀

The role - what you’ll do:

As a Senior Account Executive, you’ll drive new business growth by identifying potential partners and converting them into successful partnerships. Working closely with our SDR and Marketing teams, you’ll own and manage  the full 360° sales cycle (from out-reach, demo to closing) while aligning with the Head of New Business to support our strategic goals.

The day-to-day:

  • Proactively build and nurture a healthy sales pipeline by identifying and targeting high-potential accounts using a mix of outbound strategies (cold calling, LinkedIn outreach, webinars, events) and inbounds.
  • Develop & demonstrate consultative selling techniques.
  • Act as a trusted advisor to prospects, understanding their needs and challenges, and tailoring solutions to demonstrate the value and impact of our product in a competitive and evolving market.
  • Contribute to the evolution of the sales process by sharing best practices, improving internal workflows, and supporting the team with coaching and peer learning -  becoming a reliable go-to person within the sales team.

Goals & Objectives:

  • Meet the targeted revenue goal each month.

About you - what we are looking for:

We’re looking for a proven Account Executive with solid years of full-cycle sales experience, ideally in SaaS / Tech / FinTech.

  • You bring an entrepreneurial mindset to your prospecting. You're not just here to close, you're here to build, test, and improve the entire approach. You build your own pipeline from scratch, finding smart, creative ways to engage prospects.
  • Strong outbound sales experience, including both digital and in-person prospecting (cold calling, LinkedIn outreach, events, webinars, etc.)
  • A solid grasp of structured sales methodologies (ex: MEDDIC or similar), with the ability to coach and inspire others.
