French Sales Manager

Sales Manager – French Market

Barcelona, Spain

Build a Business. Build a Team. Build Your Legacy.

We are looking for an ambitious, entrepreneurial Sales Manager to spearhead the expansion of our technology consulting and talent solutions business across the French market from our Barcelona hub.

This is not a traditional management role. It is a unique opportunity for a proven business developer who thrives on winning new clients, opening markets, and creating something meaningful from the ground up.

During the first year, your focus will be on building a successful commercial operation through hands-on business development. As the business grows, you will play a key role in recruiting, mentoring, and leading your own sales team, ultimately shaping and managing a high-performing commercial division.

If you are a hunter by nature, passionate about technology services, and excited by the prospect of becoming a future commercial leader, this opportunity is designed for you.

What You'll Be Building

Based in Barcelona, you will drive growth across France, developing strategic relationships with clients seeking expertise in:

• SAP
• Cloud Technologies
• Cybersecurity
• Artificial Intelligence
• IT Consulting & Digital Transformation

You will have the autonomy, support, and visibility to make a real impact while helping establish Barcelona as a key commercial hub serving the French market.

Your Mission

Drive New Business Growth

• Identify, target, and secure new clients across France.
• Build relationships with decision-makers within consulting firms, systems integrators, technology companies, and enterprise organisations.
• Understand client challenges and position tailored technology and consulting solutions.
• Manage the full sales cycle from prospecting through to negotiation and contract signature.
• Develop a strong pipeline of opportunities and consistently convert business.
• Generate revenue and margin growth through successful placements and project engagements.

Shape the Future Commercial Team

As the business gains momentum, you will play a pivotal role in building the future sales organisation.

• Participate in hiring and onboarding new business developers.
• Help define sales processes, performance metrics, and best practices.
• Coach and mentor future team members.
• Create a culture of performance, accountability, and commercial excellence.
• Contribute to the development of a scalable and successful sales operation.

Grow Into Leadership

This role offers a clear pathway into commercial leadership.

You will initially operate as a hands-on individual contributor while progressively taking ownership of team management, strategy, and market expansion as the Barcelona operation scales.

What We're Looking For

• Proven success in B2B sales, business development, account acquisition, or consulting services.
• Experience within IT services, technology consulting, recruitment, staffing, managed services, or digital transformation environments is highly valued.
• Strong new business hunting skills and a passion for opening doors.
• Experience managing complex sales cycles and negotiating commercial agreements.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to operate autonomously.
• Natural leadership qualities with a desire to build and lead teams.
• Fluent French is essential.
• Professional English is required.
• Spanish is advantageous but not essential.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Opportunity to build and own the French market from Barcelona.
• Clear progression into a leadership position with team-building responsibilities.
• High visibility with executive leadership.
• Significant autonomy and decision-making responsibility.
• Exposure to fast-growing technology sectors including AI, Cloud, SAP, and Cybersecurity.
• International environment in one of Europe's most attractive business hubs.
• Attractive compensation package with strong performance incentives.
• The opportunity to create and lead your own commercial team as the business grows.

Success in Your First 12 Months

• Secure and develop key client accounts across France.
• Build a healthy and sustainable sales pipeline.
• Deliver successful placements and commercial wins.
• Establish a strong market presence within the French market.
• Help recruit and onboard the first members of the future sales team.
• Lay the foundations for a thriving commercial hub in Barcelona.

For ambitious sales professionals looking to move beyond simply hitting targets and towards building a business, developing a market, and leading a team, this represents a genuine career-defining opportunity.
