Business Development Representative (Paris) – French speaking

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential fintech client in their search for a Business Development Representative based in Paris. This is not a traditional lead-generation role—you will act as a strategic partner to the sales organization, leveraging deep industry knowledge and advanced research to open relationships with prestigious global brands.

Our client operates in the global payments ecosystem, and this position requires someone who can quickly master technical complexities while engaging stakeholders at every level. You will work in a fast-paced, high-performance environment where intellectual curiosity and results-driven execution are essential.

Responsibilities

• Develop deep technical understanding of payment solutions and global industry trends to serve as a consultant during merchant conversations
• Conduct strategic account mapping and research into organizational structures and competitive landscapes to identify high-value opportunities
• Execute advanced discovery calls that move beyond pitching to uncover genuine technical and business challenges
• Maintain a disciplined daily outreach rhythm while contributing to a culture of excellence and continuous improvement
• Partner closely with sales to advance deals through the pipeline, supporting follow-ups and maintaining momentum to closure
• Collaborate cross-functionally with solutions engineering, underwriting, and product teams to align stakeholders and accelerate sales cycles
• Leverage AI-driven systems (Salesforce, intent-data platforms) and analytics to optimize lead generation, territory planning, and pipeline accuracy
• Maintain rigorous data standards using qualification frameworks such as MEDDIC and ensure CRM integrity

What We're Looking For

• Business-level fluency in French is required
• Proactive ownership mentality with end-to-end accountability for territory outcomes and quarterly planning
• Intellectual curiosity and relentless drive to understand complex financial technology and market dynamics
• Exceptional communication skills across written, verbal, and in-person formats, with confidence engaging C-suite executives and internal product leaders
• Technical fluency and enthusiasm for leveraging AI tools and sales technology to improve efficiency
• Resilience and a fundamentally positive approach that maintains momentum through setbacks
• Coachability with a track record of seeking and implementing feedback for performance improvement
• High attention to detail combined with commitment to excellence in fast-paced environments
• Collaborative team mindset that contributes to a supportive, inclusive culture and shares feedback respectfully
