👐 About the team

For an Enterprise Account Executive, this is an opportunity to join a high-performing team at a pivotal moment: enterprise sales is becoming an increasingly important growth engine for Alma, and there is significant scope to shape our approach across Europe. You will work with some of the region’s most recognized brands, lead complex, high-value sales cycles, engage with senior decision-makers, and help define how Alma creates measurable value for large merchants.

Reporting to the Enterprise Sales Manager, you will lead strategic and complex enterprise sales cycles: partnering directly with our C-Levels on strategic accounts, collaborating with our key technology and advisory partners (PSP, CMS, Orchestrators, Consulting firms…), and coordinating across every department of the company (Product, Legal, Finance, Marketing, Account Management, Solution Engineering, Compliance, Risk/Fraud) to land deals from €500k to several million euros in ARR.

This position is a permanent role, based in Paris.
