About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Due to business growth and the objectives for 2026, we are opening new Account Executive positions on the firm side to join the Medium team focused on accounting firms.
Your mission will be to understand the accounting and management challenges faced by SME leaders and by accounting firms, and to identify what Pennylane can bring to both groups. Once you’ve done that, you will be responsible for a region of France and your objective will be to win over the Medium firms in your territory.
You will hold meetings, remotely or in person, during which you will engage with accounting firms to:
- Understand their firm and the challenges they face in meeting the needs of their teams and clients
- Present Pennylane and demonstrate how it would change their day-to-day work
- Close the sale with the firm, encouraging them to keep the accounting for a significant portion of their portfolio on Pennylane
After the sale is closed and the first files are managed by the accounting firm, you will support the firm over time to:
- Retain and grow the number of files managed on Pennylane. Drive growth across your portfolio of firms
- Coordinate support teams to ensure the service delivered meets the firms’ expectations
- Develop a network of promoter firms that can refer other peers
Other responsibilities include:
- Interacting with client-side commercial teams to ensure the firm-client virtuous cycle operates smoothly
- Conducting targeted prospecting (emails, hot calls, participating in events…) for firms with potential
- Analyzing your performance, learning from other team members, and sharing your techniques to improve the team’s performance

Requirements

You are eager to learn and progress in your sales career and are proactive in proposing solutions to the problems you encounter.
