Account Executive France (Waste)
Vizzia
Posted about 5 hours ago
🚀 Context
We aim to grow to €10M ARR by the end of 2026, and target €100M ARR by 2029. The Waste product is the engine of that growth: today, 200+ local authorities across France rely on Vizzia to ensure cleaner and safer public spaces.
The Vizzia Sales team is structured to win strategic deals and expand internationally. You'll join a Sales team of 40+ people (VP Sales, Sales Managers, AEs, KAMs, BDRs, Pre-Sales Engineers) and operate in a market where the demand is real — and the pipeline is yours to build.
🎯 Mission
As an Account Executive, you will close €350K in ARR in year one and €700K in year two, while managing your French region end-to-end.
The sales model is defined: 4-6-month cycles, €30k average deal size (customers typically pay 3 years upfront), 20-30% closing rate from first meeting to won. The playbook exists. What we need is someone who executes it at pace — and pushes past it when the situation calls for it.
➡️ What you'll be doing
1. Build the pipeline
Generate 5-10 qualified meetings per week from month one, combining BDR-sourced leads with autonomous prospecting
Map accounts with rigor: identify the right decision-makers (Mayor as ICP) and prioritize with discipline
2. Run full sales cycles
Conduct discovery, diagnostic, and restitution meetings with multi-level stakeholders: technical services, elected officials, mayors
Build project proposals sized to the real need — ambitious, not undersized out of caution
Close deals autonomously on standard accounts; reach €350K ARR by month 12
3. Navigate institutional decision-making
Adapt to public sector timelines without losing deal momentum
Structure the next step at every touchpoint — don't wait for the prospect to come back
Build trust with signed clients to generate referrals among other mayors in the region
4. Keep the machine running
Keep the CRM up to date and the pipeline clear at all times
Follow the Vizzia sales process; contribute to sharpening it
✅ Requirements
Track record in complex SaaS sales: cycles of 4–6 months, multiple stakeholders, deals that require selling a solution the prospect hasn't seen before
Commercially assertive: you are curious, drive the meeting, challenge, and structure the next step before leaving the room. A "no" is a signal to reframe — not to disengage.
Autonomous and organized: you manage your pipeline to hit current targets and anticipate what's coming next, not solely relying on BDR leads
Scale-up mindset: resourceful, comfortable without a perfect framework, you find doors when the obvious one is closed
Coachable: feedback lands and is quickly integrated
Performance-driven: comfortable with ambitious targets, striving to exceed performance
Driving license (Permis B) required
Full professional proficiency in French & English
Strong plus: public sector sales
