France is a key growth market for Perk, and we're looking for a Senior Sales Leader to take it to the next level. You'll lead a team of 15-20 Sales Executives across SMB, Mid-Market, and Enterprise, alongside 1-2 Team Leads or player-coaches, reporting to the Regional VP.

Your role will be to build a strong, repeatable sales approach for France, shaping the go-to-market plan, refining the ICP, improving pipeline conversion, and helping the team win consistently.

This is not just about executing an existing strategy. We're looking for someone who knows the French market deeply and can help define how we grow and win there.

• Lead and develop the France sales team, managing 15-20 Sales Executives plus Team Leads, with a clear focus on quota attainment, coaching, and career progression.

• Own the France go-to-market plan, including ICP definition, market segmentation, and ongoing adjustments based on what is actually converting.

• Build and improve multi-product sales playbooks, creating clear qualification frameworks and sales approaches across SMB, Mid-Market, and Enterprise.

• Own pipeline and forecasting, ensuring strong Salesforce hygiene, accurate forecasting, and clear accountability for the number.

• Coach the team through complex deals, including multi-stakeholder buying processes involving finance, procurement and senior decision-makers.

• Work closely with Marketing, SDR, Product and Customer Success to improve lead flow, positioning and handovers, and quickly address anything that is not working.

• Drive continuous improvement quarter over quarter, using pipeline, performance and win/loss data to identify where we need to improve our coaching, processes or product feedback.

• Shape how the team uses AI in the sales process, identifying useful tools for areas such as call intelligence, forecasting and coaching, and setting clear expectations around where human judgement and review are still needed.

AI at Perk
AI is embedded in how we work across every function. The tools you'll use day-to-day are AI-enabled so you can move faster and spend more time on the work that matters. In practice, that means using AI to research and prioritise accounts, draft and refine outreach, handle customer interactions more effectively, synthesise information, and cut through shadow work - the invisible tasks that pull people away from the work only they can do - so you can focus on relationships and outcomes.
