Job description

Swan is looking for a Senior Account Executive to hunt, convince and sign thousands of new customers in the upcoming years. You’ll be in charge of developing Swan in France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

Even though your core role will consist in selling Swan’s products, we’re not looking for the classic sales person! This is a key role that will give you the opportunity to shape the future sales & marketing organization at Swan.

Of course, we’re looking for someone with a strong business acumen, willing to make Swan grow over the long-term and excited by the challenges of selling. But we’re also looking for a strategic thinker, able to understand our customers’ needs and to perform consultative sales.
We need a curious person, willing to learn and comfortable with the technical aspects of our product.

Lastly, we’re looking for a team player who will partner with our product and compliance teams (among others) to ensure our roadmap entails the main asks of our top prospects, and to constantly improve our onboarding processes.

Here is a snapshot of some of the responsibilities you will have:

  • Be accountable for increasing revenue and new client acquisition at high rates of growth
  • Develop a consultative and solution-based sales approach to answer our customers needs
  • Help us define Swan’s sales playbook
  • Attend industry events to meet new prospects and spot new opportunities for Swan throughout France, Southern Europe and Benelux
  • Build Swan’s offer to tackle new verticals
  • Effectively work cross-functionally across the organization to shape Swan’s solutions to meet customer needs

Preferred experience

  • 3/4+ years of sales experience, preferably selling a technical product in a start-up / scale-up
  • Previous experience in an international / European environment
  • Professional proficiency in English
  • Passion for startups and new technology businesses
  • Strong interpersonal skills, excellent team player and fun to work with
  • Ability to understand and articulate technical concepts, and translate them into industry- or business-relevant terms
  • A good understanding of the Fintech ecosystem is a plus

What we offer

  • Attractive and fair salary
  • Strong product and tech culture
  • Be challenged and make a direct impact
  • Innovate within a fast-learning and international environment
  • Awesome, ambitious, skilled colleagues
  • Partial-remote working policy
  • Daily Swile lunch vouchers
  • 2 offsites / year with the whole Swan team (workshops, team building and lots of fun)

Recruitment process

  • A 30-min video call with Amélie, our Talent Acquisition Manager, to get to know you, understand your career expectations and answer your questions
  • An interview with Florent, our Chief Commercial Officer
  • An interview with Luka, our Chief of Staff
  • An interview with Nicolas, our CEO
