The role

At Factorial, we're looking for a Team Lead Sales Account Executive (Product Specialist) for the Spanish market. Your mission will be to support, guide, and grow a high-performing sales team focused on driving expansion within our existing customer base.

This role is ideal for a Senior AE or an experienced sales professional who loves being right in the middle of the action-leading by example, coaching day-to-day, and actively supporting the team to close deals and deliver value to customers in France and Italy.

This is a hands-on leadership role: you won't just be managing from the sidelines; you'll be in the trenches with your team.

The Role: Lead, Coach, and Drive Team Performance

As a Team Lead, you'll be responsible for your group's performance, development, and motivation, focusing on team-level KPIs rather than individual sales targets.

You will combine active selling, coaching, and leadership, ensuring high execution standards while fostering a strong team culture built on trust, accountability, and collaboration.

What you'll do

Team Leadership & Hands-On Coaching

  • Lead a team of Sales Account Executives focused on the Spanish market.

  • Work side-by-side with your team: conduct daily coaching, join video calls whenever needed, and provide real-time feedback.

  • Lead by example through your own commercial activity and deal involvement.

  • Support team members through complex negotiations, objection handling, and sales strategy.

  • Create a safe, high-performing environment, managing different personalities while keeping the team aligned.

Team Performance & Strategy

  • Own team-level KPIs (rather than individual quotas).

  • Monitor pipeline health, deal progression, and forecast accuracy.

  • Proactively identify areas for improvement and implement clear action plans.

  • Collaborate with Sales Management to execute go-to-market and growth strategies in France and Italy.

Customer Engagement & Closing Support

  • Step into key negotiations when necessary to help drive deals over the finish line.

  • Help the team identify opportunities for upselling and cross-selling.

  • Ensure a top-tier customer experience and a value-based sales approach.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with Account Managers, Sales Leaders, and internal teams.

  • Share best practices, playbooks, and creative sales techniques across the organization.

  • Act as the bridge between high-level strategy and daily execution.
