They've built an AI-powered platform that dramatically accelerates simulation and design workflows, turning what traditionally takes months into days.

• Lead commercial proposals, contract negotiations, and procurement processes for complex software agreements
• Coordinate cross-functionally with solution engineering, product, and technical teams around strategic opportunities
• Maintain accurate pipeline forecasting and disciplined opportunity management
• Represent our client at customer meetings, executive briefings, and industry events

What We're Looking For

• At least 5 years of successful enterprise software sales experience
• Deep understanding of how engineering software delivers value in product development within discrete manufacturing industries (automotive, aerospace, high-tech electronics)
• Broad knowledge of CAE, CAD, PLM, data platforms, and cloud infrastructure—this is a significant advantage
• Experience selling AI or emerging technology solutions is particularly relevant
• Proven ability to sell business transformation and measurable ROI to senior executives
• Track record leading complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles with technical and business buyers
• Demonstrated success closing large software agreements and consistently meeting or exceeding quota
• Strong new-business development and hunting skills
• Professional fluency in both French and English
