Sales Lead Western Europe

Finance and marketing rarely agree on what drives growth — we help them find a common language. As our first commercial hire, you'll take that message to the executive committees of large European companies, win our flagship accounts and design how 40folds sells for years to come.

Apply for this role

Your mission

  1. 01Lead opportunities from first meeting to signature with CFOs, CMOs and growth leaders across Western Europe.
  2. 02Open doors in France, Benelux, DACH, the UK and Southern Europe, starting from our founders’ network.
  3. 03Translate client challenges into business cases: drivers, ROI, risk and investment choices.
  4. 04Co-design pilots and proposals with our data scientists so every promise is backed by the model.
  5. 05Set up our pricing, offers and sales process together with the founders.
  6. 06Build relationships with consultancies and agencies that can bring us into accounts.
  7. 07Bring back what the market tells you so it shapes the product.

You likely have

  • A solid record of enterprise deals won with senior executives, ideally in analytics, consulting or marketing technology.
  • Comfort with long, multi-stakeholder sales cycles.
  • The ability to speak credibly with both a CFO and a CMO in the same meeting.
  • Fluent English and French; any further European language helps.
  • Energy to build the sales machine while you are running it.

Bonus points

  • You have sold marketing mix modelling, attribution or other advanced analytics.
  • A few years in strategy consulting.
  • Existing relationships with finance or marketing leaders in large European companies.

Probably not the right move if…

  • You rely on a well-known brand and a steady flow of inbound leads.
  • Your next step is managing a team, not personally closing deals.
  • You prefer to leave the technical story to someone else.
  • Regular travel across Europe is a deal-breaker.
