About the Job

Neptune Software is the SAP-native application development platform: we turn SAP business logic into the Business Applications, Process Orchestration, and AI Agents people use to get work done. Native on SAP and connected across the enterprise, Neptune closes the execution gap between what SAP manages and how work actually happens. With Naia, teams move from AI-assisted development to full pro-code without ever starting over. Founded in Oslo in 2011, Neptune is trusted by 850+ enterprises and 4 million users worldwide, fast-growing company on a mission to Make Work Flow.

We are growing our presence in France and are looking for an ambitious, Senior Account Executive to join our French sales team. You'll work alongside our Regional Sales Manager to expand Neptune's footprint in the French enterprise market — hunting new strategic customers and building long-term relationships with large organizations.

This is a pure new-business hunting role: you'll own a portfolio of target accounts across our priority industries, build your own pipeline from the ground up, and be the driving force behind new logo wins in France. You'll also be flexible to wear multiple hats — supporting marketing campaigns, representing Neptune at industry events, and feeding market insight back into the France go-to-market plan.

Location

Paris – Remote

Responsibilities

• Build and manage a high-quality pipeline of new-logo enterprise opportunities in France.

• Own and develop a personal portfolio of target accounts among large French corporations.

• Lead proactive outreach activities (calls, emails, LinkedIn) to generate executive-level meetings and new opportunities — true hunter mentality, not account farming.

• Develop and execute account strategies to win business with large, strategic customers.

• Partner with Marketing on targeted campaigns and represent Neptune at major French industry events and trade shows.

• Build trusted, long-term relationships with decision-makers across multiple functions and levels, up to C-level.

• Deliver compelling product demonstrations with Solution Consulting support, tailored to customer priorities.

• Own the full enterprise sales cycle — from discovery through negotiation to closing — applying MEDDPIC or a similar sales methodology.

• Provide customer and market feedback to refine our go-to-market approach, and contribute to the France regional business plan alongside the Team Lead.
