Malt is scaling up fast and recruiting for our top-performing Sales team in order to accelerate our growth. Our Account Managers are in charge of acquiring and nurturing long-term partnerships with mid-market companies, especially industrial PME/ETI and the most promising scale-ups of the French Tech.
This is a challenging “full-stack” sales role, including prospection and development on selected Mid market accounts.
Here at Malt we have a clearly defined career path to accompany our teammates in their professional growth.
The Sales team is organized into Business Units that correspond to the industry sectors of our clients.
The team consists of different levels of seniority: AM, KAM, Senior KAM, Practice Leader, BU Manager.
You also have the opportunity to develop as an individual contributor or team leader: you will join an adventure where much is still to be done and where taking initiative is highly valued (organizing events, actively participating in conferences, internal training with our peers, etc.)
Key responsibilities ✨
- Build from scratch your portfolio of cold companies
From a list of identified cold accounts, your goal is to validate the business potential of those accounts through meetings obtained through prospection (cold call, mail, LinkedIn, events). Then, you’ll need to understand how the company works to develop the use of Malt. This may involve signing a contract.
Identify relevant prospect to reach
Set up action plans and sales strategies, specific to each portfolio company, in order to maximize impact and business opportunities
Run intense prospection activities through different channels (call, linkedin, mail)
Book discovery meetings to understand better those companies’s challenges
Qualify in relevant companies, understand their challenges and convince them of the benefits of using a platform built on an open model that federates the leading community of freelancers in Europe
Transform prospects into clients and accompany them so that freelancing becomes key to tackle their challenges
When relevant, negotiate framework agreements with the company to position Malt as a key partner for them
Once your prospects become clients, develop freelancing within the company
After a few months, the aim is to have no more than around fifteen customer accounts that willmake up your Account Manager portfolio.
Hold a “trusted advisor” position and establish a long-term support relationship with your clients : Identifying new needs in advance, for a fast and qualitative response in the proposal of new expert profiles

Conduct meetings (regular or ad-hoc) and present deliverables on an ongoing basis: contractual follow-up points, production of external analyses and benchmarks, optimization of the customer experience, sharing of sector analyses, sharing of freelance feedback
Adopt our winning “Mid Market” spirit
Be a strong team player
Bring your smile and every day motivation
Be resilient : mid market companies go through frequent ups and downs. You’ll have many wins and many losses all the time and should not be afraid of starting from scratch again. Mid market companies always require a strong prospection push, even our closest clients
