Senior Account Executive

We aim to grow from €3.5M in ARR by end of 2025 to €10M by end of 2026. To achieve this challenge, our commercial development on the "Safety" product is critical. Today, 95% of Vizzia's ARR comes from the Waste product. By mid-2027, we want it to be a 50/50 split.

This role will join the Sales team, made up of 40+ people: VP Sales, Sales Managers, Account Executives, KAMs, BDRs, BDR Managers, Partnership Manager, Pre-Sales Engineers, and a Pre-Sales Engineering Manager.

The goal of the role will be to close €350K in ARR in the first year and then €700K in the second year, while also helping structure the sales methodology and commercial messaging for the Safety product.

To do so, you will need to:

• Discovery & prospecting: Complete the first 100 meetings in 3 months to help the team identify the right pitch, the right stakeholders, and key pain points, and generate qualified leads.

• Closing & complex sales: Sign around 7 contracts to reach €350K in ARR, i.e. €50K per contract. Master 6 to 12-month sales cycles.

• Structuring: Improve the Vizzia Safety sales playbook together with your manager: messaging, sales methodology, prospecting sequences, and field learnings, to lay the foundations for a scalable team.

Expected results:

• After 1 month: strong command of the product and the existing playbook.

• After 3 months: perfect mastery of the product, pitch, and objection handling. 100 discovery/prospecting calls completed. Strong pipeline, with closing prospects within 1 to 2 months.

• After 6 months: first contracts signed.

After 1 year:

• €350K in ARR closed.

• A strong, well-managed pipeline to reach €700K ARR the following year.

Vizzia grew from 20 employees in November 2024 to 90+ today. Our €16M Series A aims to:

• Scale the Waste solution across France

• Launch the Safety product

• Expand internationally for both products (Europe and the US)

To make this happen, we'll need the people joining today to help open new countries and/or take on management roles within the Sales teams.

• Proven success in complex SaaS sales

• Autonomous and fully proficient in SaaS sales techniques, from prospecting to closing

• Driving license (Permis B) required

• Professional proficiency in English

• Exceptional energy & interpersonal skills: able to adapt and engage any type of stakeholder.

• Performance-driven: comfortable with results pressure and motivated to exceed targets.

• Resilience and eagerness to learn: able to sell and differentiate the product in a competitive environment. Willing to continuously improve, iterate on the pitch and methods, and raise the bar for the team and Vizzia.

• Entrepreneurial experience or go-to-market experience is a plus.

• Experience selling to local authorities is a plus.
