    About this role

    Realize your potential by joining the leading performance-driven advertising company!  

    The France Enterprise Advertiser team is looking for an eager, results-driven Sales Manager to pursue, negotiate and close deals, bringing in high-profile clients and expanding our footprint in one of the region's most exciting and fast-moving markets. We're looking for a hunter. Someone who doesn't wait for opportunities to land in their lap, who picks up the phone, gets in the room, and closes. If your instinct is to chase, pitch and win, and you have the track record to prove it, this role is for you.

    The successful candidate will identify, engage and cement large brand and performance partnerships, and work with major media agency networks across the region. Displaying a consultative style, you must be an exceptional communicator, comfortable presenting to senior stakeholders across clients and Taboola teams, but make no mistake: this is a sales role, and results are what count.

    To thrive in this role, you'll need:

    • Extensive experience in sales in the digital space 
    • Good knowledge of the French digital advertising space.
    • Experience selling to top 100 French Brands and/or big 6 agencies
    • Native French speaker
    • Experience in structuring and negotiating deals within the digital media space
    • A true passion for online content, and a strong sales drive
