The Role

This is a strategic enterprise sales role focused on winning new customers in the French market.

You will own the full sales cycle — from identifying and developing opportunities through negotiation and closing — working with some of France’s largest organizations.

This is not a high-volume transactional AE role. Our sales cycles are complex, multi-stakeholder and often span several months. You will need to build relationships at C-level, navigate large organizations, create internal champions and demonstrate clear business value.

You will also play an important role in shaping how we win in the French market.

What You'll Do

- Own a portfolio of strategic enterprise accounts in France.
- Build and execute account plans to identify, develop and close new business opportunities.
- Prospect proactively across your territory and create your own pipeline.
- Develop relationships with C-level executives and senior business, HR, Internal Communications, IT and Digital stakeholders.
- Lead complex, multi-threaded sales cycles involving multiple decision-makers and departments.
- Develop compelling business cases and articulate the ROI and strategic value of LumApps.
- Run executive-level discovery, presentations, workshops and negotiations.
- Coordinate internal resources across Pre-Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, Product and Partners.
- Manage RFP/RFI processes and competitive evaluations.
- Navigate competitive situations and position LumApps effectively against other Employee Experience, Intranet and Digital Workplace solutions.
- Maintain rigorous pipeline management, forecasting and CRM discipline.
- Build strong relationships with strategic partners and system integrators.
- Identify opportunities to expand relationships from an initial business unit into broader enterprise deployments.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for an experienced enterprise seller who combines commercial drive, strategic thinking and strong execution.

You have:

- 7+ years of B2B SaaS / technology sales experience, ideally selling into large enterprises.
- A proven track record of winning complex new-business deals.
- Experience managing sales cycles with multiple stakeholders and decision-makers.
- Strong C-level selling skills and executive presence.
- A hunter mentality — you know how to create pipeline, not just manage inbound opportunities.
- The ability to build relationships across HR, Internal Communications, IT, Digital and business functions.
- Strong discovery and consultative selling skills.
- Experience selling against established competitors and navigating competitive processes.
- Strong commercial and negotiation skills.
- Excellent forecasting discipline and the ability to clearly articulate deal strategy, risks and next steps.
- Fluency in French and English.

Even better if you have:

- Experience selling Employee Experience, Intranet, Digital Workplace, Collaboration or HR technology.
- Experience selling to CAC 40 / SBF 120 / large multinational organizations.
- Experience with long, strategic sales cycles and €100K+ ACV opportunities.
- Experience working with system integrators and strategic partners.
- Experience selling AI-enabled SaaS solutions.

The Mindset We're Looking For

You create opportunities. You don't wait for them.

You sell value, not features. You can connect technology to business outcomes and build a compelling case for change.

You multi-thread. You understand that enterprise deals are won by building relationships across the organization — not by relying on a single champion.

You are commercially rigorous. You know your numbers, your deal strategy, your competition and your next step.

You are curious about AI. AI is fundamentally changing the Employee Experience market, and you will be expected to understand the technology, the use cases and how to have credible conversations with customers about it.

You act like an owner. You take responsibility for your territory, your pipeline and your results.

Why Join LumApps?

- Join a high-growth French SaaS company with a global footprint.
- Sell a platform at the intersection of AI, Employee Experience and Digital Workplace.
- Enjoy a collaborative team culture, clear career progression pathways, and competitive uncapped compensation.
