Ă€ propos

At Sillage, we believe sales should feel human again - built on context, timing, and meaningful conversations. To spread this vision, we’re hiring in our sales team. We recently launched and are growing fast.

We’re two repeat founders backed by top operators and investors (Deel, Salesforce, Datadog, Contentsquare, Sequoia & a16z scout funds, Kima, Drysdale) and we’re assembling a small team of exceptional people.

Descriptif du poste

You will join a commercial team of 4 and work directly with the CEO to accelerate Sillage development.

1. Lead Generation & Prospecting

  • Identify and qualify target accounts using our proprietary tools and ICP criteria

  • Research prospects (LinkedIn, news, tools, etc.) to detect relevant signals

  • Build high-quality prospect lists and prepare personalized outreach

2. Outbound Execution

  • Write and send multi-channel outbound messages (email, LinkedIn, calls)

  • Conduct first discovery calls and assess the prospect’s fit

  • Iterate on messaging based on performance and real-time insights

3. Sales Operations & Pipeline Support

  • Maintain accurate CRM records

  • Analyze conversion metrics and propose improvements

  • Collaborate with founders on optimizing playbooks, ICP, and outbound strategy

4. Full-cycle sales

  • Once you're comfortable with outbound and discovery calls, you will be in charge of closing SMB deals end-to-end, from discovery to closing.

🌱 What You Will Learn

Working closely with the founders, you will learn:

  • How modern B2B SaaS sales works (from ICP definition to closing)

  • How to write effective, personalized outbound messages

  • How to run qualification and discovery calls

  • How to use cutting-edge sales tools and AI assistants

  • How an early-stage startup builds and iterates on its GTM strategy

You’ll leave this role with a strong set of skills and capable of joining any top sales team.

Profil recherché

You might be a fit if you:

  • Are energetic, curious, and comfortable talking to people

  • Communicate clearly in French (fluent) and English (intermediate). The job will be done on the French market, but you will have American colleagues.

  • Are proactive and organized

  • Want to learn how to sell and how startups grow

  • Are excited about AI, SaaS, and the startup ecosystem

Prior sales experience is not required - motivation and desire to learn matter more.

Process de recrutement

  1. First meeting (15mn) to assess your motivation, goals, and the fit with Sillage

  2. Practical exercise (30mn) - prospecting simulation

  3. Closing call (15) to discuss package etc.
