Sales Director - France

Our client is a well-established international B2B services organisation, known for supporting companies through solution-led commercial models designed to enhance performance, agility, and long-term growth.

They are looking to hire a Sales Director based in Paris to support commercial performance across France by working closely with the sales teams, strengthening day-to-day execution, and ensuring the effective implementation of the group’s commercial strategy locally.

Reporting directly to the Regional Sales Management, this is a highly operational and field-oriented leadership role. The successful candidate will not be expected to define the overall commercial strategy for France, which is led at group level, but will play a key role in translating that strategy into concrete actions, coaching sales teams, improving performance, and driving results on the ground.

This role will suit a hands-on sales leader who enjoys being close to the field, supporting managers and salespeople, challenging performance constructively, and helping teams convert opportunities more effectively.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead, support and develop the sales teams to improve performance, conversion rates and commercial discipline across France.
• Act as a field-oriented leader, staying close to day-to-day sales activity, client interactions, pipeline management and team performance.
• Coach and accompany sales managers and salespeople, helping them structure their approach, improve execution and reach their targets.
• Ensure the successful local implementation of the wider group commercial strategy, translating priorities into practical actions for the French market.
• Monitor sales performance through reporting, pipeline visibility, KPI tracking and conversion analysis.
• Identify areas for improvement in sales processes, behaviours and team effectiveness, and work with teams to drive measurable progress.
• Foster a culture of accountability, ambition and execution, while providing the right level of support, guidance and challenge.
• Work closely with internal stakeholders to ensure alignment around business priorities and customer needs.
• Remain connected to clients and market developments to help teams identify opportunities and respond effectively to evolving expectations.

Candidate Profile

• Fluent in both English and French.
• Proven experience in B2B sales leadership, ideally in fast-paced environments with short sales cycles.
• Strong track record in driving sales performance, improving conversion and developing high-performing teams.
• Hands-on leadership style, with the ability to stay close to the field and support sales teams in their daily execution.
• Strong coaching skills, with the ability to accompany, challenge and develop commercial teams.
• Comfortable working within an international group structure, where the broader commercial strategy is defined centrally and implemented locally.
• Results-driven, pragmatic and operational, with a strong ability to turn strategy into action.

Salary & Benefits

• Salary of up to €100,000 gross per annum, depending on profile and experience.
• Profit-sharing scheme and company performance-related bonus.
• Company health insurance and meal vouchers.
• Public transport contribution.
• Access to employee benefits and social activities.
• Additional RTT days on top of paid annual leave.
