Vacancy
As Head of Sales France, you are responsible for leading Orbisk's expansion into French markets and growing the customer base. You are both strategically and operationally responsible: you help to set the strategic direction of Orbisk's growth into France and you use your local relevant network to bring in new key accounts within the food services and hospitality sector. Additionally, you set up the necessary structures to grow the local sales team in the coming years.
You will work together with an Account Manager (also a new hire) in your team in France and the CCO (based in the Netherlands). The Customers Success team (based in the Netherlands) is responsible for managing specific active locations and the onboarding and you will work closely together with them. When a chain is active, you will be responsible for the contact with HQ and further building the number of active locations within those chains.
If you are excited at the idea of spearheading the expansion of Orbisk into French markets, contributing to a sustainable goal, and starting a team from scratch, then this is a job for you.
