Job description

Since 2015, papernest has been transforming the way people manage their contracts, making subscription, management, and switching simple through one smart, intuitive platform.

We have supported more than 2 million customers across France, Spain, and Italy. Along the way, we have continued to invest in new verticals, establishing papernest as a high-performing, innovative, and competitive scale-up in a fast-growing market.

With over 900 employees, we are strengthening our position as a European market leader. 

The Sales Lab Lead is responsible for identifying and unlocking the next levers of growth for papernest. This role acts as a growth engine within the sales organization, testing new approaches, markets, and strategies to drive scalable revenue opportunities.

You will own the full experimentation cycle: from identifying potential growth opportunities, defining strategies to capture them, executing tests, and analyzing results to determine scalability.

This role also includes managing a small team of sales professionals and ensuring strong execution of growth initiatives.

  • Conduct post-mortem analyses to extract insights and determine scalability.

Team Leadership

  • Manage and coach a team of 2 sales representatives.

  • Ensure strong execution, accountability, and learning within the team.

  • Ownership: Ability to take full responsibility for initiatives from idea to execution and evaluation.

  • Creativity: Capacity to think outside the box and test unconventional growth strategies.

  • Business Sense: Strong commercial intuition and ability to quickly assess what can scale and drive revenue.

Your profile : 

  • 3–5 years of total experience, ideally in sales or business development.

  • Sales experience (SDR or SMB) with strong outbound skills: cold calling, email outreach, pipeline generation.

  • Startup experience (1–2 years minimum) in a fast-paced environment.

  • Some management experience, even short-term (a few months managing a small team).

  • Fluent in English and French or Spanish.

Thrive in an international and inclusive environment: everyone has a place at papernest. With over 46 different nationalities, it’s not uncommon here to start a sentence in English and finish it en français or en español ¡
