Account Executive – New Business France
We usually respond within three days
At Dolead, we align marketing, sales, and data to turn media investment into real pipeline. In short: we launch paid campaigns faster, integrate data with confidence, and deliver sales-ready leads at a fixed cost.
We already support 200+ clients across 15 countries with a team of 70+ experts from 13 nationalities, split between our offices in Paris, Boston and Madrid... and we keep growing!
Our obsession: making performance marketing measurable and scalable for our clients.
👉 We’re now looking for an Account Executive – New Business to help us open the next growth opportunities for our French Hub.
This role is designed for someone who already knows how to sell and build a pipeline, but wants to move one step further: more ownership, more complex opportunities, direct exposure to the Head of French Hub, and a real role in developing new markets for Dolead.
Your missions
Reporting directly to our Head of French Hub, you will own the full New Business cycle across markets such as insurance, energy, telecom and other high-volume acquisition verticals.
Build your pipeline
Generate new business opportunities through outbound prospecting, networking, referrals, events and account-based approaches
Identify and engage the right decision-makers within your target accounts
Build your network across the categories you cover and maintain a structured, reliable pipeline
Understand and qualify the right opportunities
Run strong discovery meetings to understand your prospects’ acquisition strategy, business model, CAC, volumes and conversion challenges
Assess the real economic potential of an opportunity before investing heavily in it
Develop a strong understanding of your markets: key players, competitors, pricing and client expectations
Identify the partnerships that can become meaningful and scalable revenue streams, rather than simply adding contracts to the CRM
Share market insights and contribute to identifying the next categories worth developing
Close and launch
Build tailored commercial proposals and business cases
Own the sales cycle through negotiation and signature
Work closely with our Account Management and Performance Marketing teams to ensure the deals you sign can perform and scale
Ensure a smooth handover and stay close to the first stages of the partnership
As you ramp up, you’ll progressively take ownership of a broader share of our French New Business scope.
Your profile
B2B New Business: solid experience in an Account Executive or similar full-cycle sales role
Hunting: proven ability to create pipeline without relying entirely on inbound leads or SDR support
Discovery: strong curiosity and the ability to understand how a client makes money before pitching a solution
Business acumen: comfortable discussing CAC, ROI, conversion rates, volumes and simple business projections
Commercial judgement: able to distinguish a promising, scalable opportunity from a deal unlikely to create long-term value
Stakeholder management: comfortable engaging senior decision-makers and navigating several stakeholders
Ownership: autonomous and structured in the way accounts, priorities, pipeline and CRM are managed
Sales tooling: comfortable with modern prospecting, sequencing and CRM tools
Learning agility: motivated by discovering new markets, testing assumptions and finding where the strongest opportunities are
Experience in lead generation, performance marketing, digital acquisition or AdTech is a plus, but not a requirement.
What matters most is a strong commercial foundation, curiosity and the ability to understand the economics behind a client’s acquisition model. At Dolead, the challenge is not simply to sign a deal, but to understand whether it can become a successful and scalable partnership.
French fluency is required, along with a professional level of English.
Why join Dolead?
A real New Business scope: help open markets where Dolead still has significant room to grow
Direct exposure: work closely with the Head of French Hub, who owns the French P&L
Business beyond closing: understand markets, identify where the opportunity is and decide where to invest your time
Strong ownership: autonomy over how you structure your market, accounts and pipeline
Room to grow: take on broader commercial ownership as the French New Business organisation develops
