Job description

As Culture Sales Manager, your mission is to execute and scale a predictable, repeatable and measurable sales engine across markets.
You’ll report to the Head of culture sales and work closely with Growth, Marketing, RevOps, and Product.

Your responsibilities:

  • Execute the entire sales strategy: team structure, territories, playbooks, KPIs

  • Scale lead generation: design outbound & inbound workflows, implement tools (e.g., Salesloft, Apollo, HubSpot)

  • Monitor and optimize KPIs across the full funnel (MQL > SQL > closed)

  • Contribute personally to the global sales process and be a strong performer in new signing

  • Oversee CRM hygiene, pipeline velocity, forecasting accuracy, and win rate optimization

  • Work cross-functionally with Marketing and RevOps to ensure data-driven decisions

  • Report on performance with clear dashboards and insights for the C-suite


Preferred experience

  • Deep understanding of sales performance metrics, dashboards, and attribution

  • Mastery of lead generation tools and workflows (e.g., Lusha, Surfe, HubSpot, LinkedIn)

  • Strong analytical mindset: ability to turn data into decisions

  • Hands-on leadership: you’ve closed deals, built playbooks, and coached reps directly, and you’re ready to continue doing it

  • Fluent in English and French (German is a plus), experience in international markets is highly valued

  • Strong interest for the cultural industry

  • A collaborative and growth mindset with a strong sense of ownership


Recruitment process

  • Intro Call – 30 min
    A first conversation with our CEO or Head of People to get to know each other. We’ll talk about your background, the role, and answer any initial questions.

  • Deep Dive – 60 min
    A detailed interview when we’ll discuss your past sales experience, your approach to KPIs, pipeline management, lead generation strategies, and scaling teams.

  • Business Case
    You’ll receive a short case study (max. 2–3 hours of work). This helps us see how you approach GTM strategy, team structure, and sales metrics. You’ll then present it in a live session.

  • Team Interviews
    You’ll meet key team members (Marketing, RevOps, Product, SDR/AE leads). This is about alignment, collaboration, and culture fit.

  • Final Interview – 45 min
    A wrap-up with the founders. We’ll cover strategic vision, expectations, compensation, and next steps.

  • Offer 🎉
    If we’re a mutual match, we’ll make an offer and look forward to welcoming you aboard!
