Accurat wants to change the way decision making is done by providing real-world behaviour insights. We heavily rely on big data & machine learning.

We are a fast growing company, working for brands including Delhaize, Lidl, Brico, Hubo, Telenet, Aveve, X2O, Clear Channel amongst others.

Continuing our rapid growth in Belgium & the Netherlands and since very recently Germany we're happy to step on the gas in France. Therefore we are looking to grow our sales team locally. Along with the team based in the Gent, Belgium HQ you will take a leading role in expanding our success in France. This includes activating your network and convincing retailers and restaurant owners to demo and finally buy our solutions.

This is a new business role, bringing on board new customers. It has an international focus targeting initially mainly customers in France.

  • Execute the sales priorities and activities for France including direct prospecting
  • Nurture & follow-up generated leads 
  • Assist in the content creation for both inbound and outbound campaigns

  • Prequalify needs and demo our solutions in a face-to-face or digital meetings 
  • Focus on the full sales cycle, including onboarding, new business and account management

  • At least 3+ years of experience in a retail-sales environment with a proven track record of business development success
  • Within the French retail market you possess a (substantial) network
  • As you're based in France you will work towards your KPIs individually most of the time
  • The others within your team are based in Gent, BE & The Netherlands. As you're a team player you know how to overcome the challenges of being part of a remote team 💻
  • You're a good listener, know how to understand customer needs but are fluent expressing how our solutions could benefit them
  • You're eager to learn about location technology and the retail industry
  • You don't mind to work hard, reach goals and catch a deadline
  • You want to go fast, go all the way and enjoy the fact tomorrow might be completely different from today
  • Fluent in French & English
  • Prior startup experience is a plus, having grown a startup (together) a major asset

What do we offer?

  • All the tools you need to be a high performer, the expertise and support to make you grow
