About this role
Paris-based (open to Europe for the right profile) | Full-time | Early teamFounded in 2025 by Lydia Bellahouel (CEO) and Camille Epitalon (CTO), Verso is backed by Hexa (eFounders), the pioneer European startup studio behind 40+ companies including Front, Aircall and Spendesk.Consumer research has been slow and expensive for decades.
We are building the company that changes that, and we need our first commercial hire: the person who brings our product to enterprise customers, closes our first flagship accounts, and helps define how Verso sells.About Verso and who we areVerso is an AI-native consumer research platform.
Our AI designs the study, interviews real participants one to one over video in any language, and turns those conversations into a structured, evidence-backed report you can interrogate in chat.
Days instead of weeks, at a fraction of the cost of a traditional agency, without trading rigor for speed.We sell to insights, marketing and innovation teams at global brands, with a strong pull from large CPG, beauty, telecom, retail, and the strategy consultancies that serve them. Early clients include Orange, Michelin, Europcar and dsm-firmenich.
We are a small team with high standards and one clear thesis: qualitative research is high-signal and badly broken, and AI is finally good enough to fix it.We start with AI-moderated qualitative research and are building for each client a system of consumer intelligence: every study compounds into a living understanding of their consumers that their teams, and their own AI, can draw on over time.Lydia spent 7 years at BCG leading AI-powered transformation for consumer brands and knows the buyer's pain from the inside.
Camille is an AI expert and a pioneer in agentic systems. Together they built Verso to turn consumer understanding into a real-time advantage for the brands we serve.The roleWe are hiring our Head of Sales, the first dedicated commercial hire at Verso.This is a hands-on, full-cycle role, and you work h
