Wakeo provides a SaaS platform to bring real-time visibility on intercontinental transportation.

Using AI-based technology, we help shippers and logistics providers build a resilient and sustainable supply chain 🌍

We already work with global leaders such as Uniqlo, Michelin, Corteva, Air Liquide, Rhenus or Hartrodt with users in more than 180 countries and we are rapidly growing our network.

And we do not plan to stop there! We just raised €18 million with Statkraft Ventures and our historical investors Promus Ventures, 360 Capital, 50 Partners and Techstars, to give even more visibility to worldwide transport actors. 🚀

As our new Strategic Account Executive you will be responsible for new business development and revenue growth, with Enterprise prospects.
 

Your Missions :

• Even though we have an SDR team to help you, you will manage the entire sales cycle from finding a potential client to securing a deal: identify new logo, hunt new strategic clients, educate prospective customers on the business value that our visibility platform can unlock and has already delivered to our clients, foster trust, build long-term relationships, negotiate and close the deals.
• You are responsible for Wakeo’s global sales target: you develop detailed sales plans and sales forecasts with the team, execute the sales plan and manage the sales forecast and opportunity lifecycles to consistently meet and exceed quarterly and annual targets. You collaborate with the sales team through best practices and tools to achieve both individual and collective goals.
• You are proactive and creative to lead sales strategy: drive active sales cycle while building new sales business pipeline through prospecting new logo, networking with market references and influencers, leading innovative campaigns, planning business meetings, acting as a speaker during events, etc.
• You are an expert of Wakeo’s solution and market: understand and present the business value that our visibility platform can bring, develop a deep understanding of the business cases and impacts on the ROI, identify and explain Wakeo’s added value compared to its competitors according to client’s need.

Ideal Profile :

• You have between 5 and 8 years of experience in complex B-to-B enterprise sales, preferably in a Saas company. Experience in supply chain is a plus, at least genuine interest.
