Job Description

We’re looking to build a special team to help drive our international expansion into the 🇬🇧 team at Qobra, with the goal of reaching 2M ARR by 2025.

🎯 Your objectives:

We are seeking a highly motivated and results-driven account executive to join our growing team. As an account executive, you will be responsible for building and maintaining relationships with prospects and customers, understanding their business needs, pain points and positioning Qobra to drive success for them.

In this role, you will be responsible for meeting and exceeding sales goals. In addition, you will be responsible for meeting daily, weekly, monthly sales KPIs. You will execute a large volume of outbound calls, emails and social connections to customers and prospects to manage the entire sales cycle from initial contact to closing the deal.

International expansion might mean forcing you to a new target ICP (worldwide) and/or changing your outbound strategy such as a new market segment to optimize performance. You therefore must first and foremost have an entrepreneurial mindset, and be ready to face challenges you’ve never faced before. But that’s for the best, isn’t it?

  4. You are a product expert and you understand, every use case and how it solves our customers' business challenges and helps them achieve their corporate initiatives.
  5. You are able to make an optimal transition to Qobra's CSM teams for onboarding our customers.
  6. You worked closely with the French Sales Team, and contributed to the improvement of Qobra sales methodology, including educating the rest of the company about UK specificities.
  7. You worked closely with the Marketing & Product team, to identify specific needs related to the UK market.

🔍 Your profile:

  • 1+ year of consultative field selling experience in a SaaS environment.

  • Proven ability to close deals >10k€ ACV (average contract value) SaaS products.
  • You are coachable, eager to learn and willing to become a better version of yourself. Opening a new market in a big challenge, and you should be able to question yourself.
  • You are in the top 20% of performers among your team. You know what winning feels like.
