Your Job

Your mission is to uncover and conquer the 'Hidden Gems' of the French Web. You are responsible for expanding Sparteo’s market share by acquiring Tier 2 (Mid-Market) publishers.

Your goal is to leverage your network and hunting skills to identify high-potential independent media, convince them to upgrade their monetization infrastructure, and close deals with velocity for our exclusive products: Actirise and Viously .

Strategic Prospecting & Network Activation

• Hunt for High Potential: Proactively scout the web to find independent publishers, vertical media, and forums (Tier 2) that are currently under-monetized.

• Pipeline Management: Build and maintain a massive pipeline of prospects. Your success relies on keeping a high level of activity and constant deal flow.

• Smart Qualification: Quickly assess a publisher's technical setup and traffic potential to ensure they fit the "Impact B2" profitability criteria.

Pitching & Closing

• Evangelization: Simplify complex Adtech concepts (Header Bidding, CMP, Core Web Vitals) for publishers who often lack large technical teams. You act as a trusted advisor.

• Short-Cycle Closing: Drive the sales process with urgency. Your objective is to move from "First Contact" to "Signed Contract" quickly by demonstrating immediate revenue uplift.

• Negotiation: Secure standard contracts by focusing the negotiation on value (RPS increase) rather than technical customization.

Market Intelligence

• Feedback Loop: As you are in direct contact with the heart of the market, report specific needs and objections to the Product team to help us stay competitive.

• Competitor Monitoring: Keep a close eye on "traditional" ad networks and low-tech solutions that currently hold this market share, and master the arguments to displace them.

Your profile for this job

• Proven track record in adtech business development, with an established portfolio of small to medium-sized web publishers in DACH region.

• Expertise in sales cycles and negotiation within B2B environments.

• Strong analytical mindset to craft and communicate data-backed strategies.

• Language Skills: Native French is mandatory to engage with the local market. Fluent English is required for internal communication.

• Hunter DNA: You have the grit to pick up the phone, handle objections, and close deals repeatedly. You prefer the chase to the farming.

Your mind set to share our adventure

• 🚀 You want to make an impact and move things forward collectively. Does hearing phrases like "Yes, but we've been doing it this way for years..." make your hair stand on end? We feel the same way: progress is made by questioning what already exists.

• 🧠 You solve problems pragmatically and analytically.

• 🏃‍♂️ You're looking for a fast-moving environment where your agility will be an asset. The 80-20 (Pareto) principle holds no secrets for you.
