Enterprise Account Executive - France & Southern EMEA

About Qevlar AI

Qevlar is a B2B SaaS scale-up on a mission to boost the productivity of cybersecurity teams with Artificial Intelligence. We build an AI platform that transitions Security Operations Centres from reactive to proactive units through autonomous security alert investigations.

In just three years, we have:

• Raised a total of $44m in series-A & seed rounds from EQT Ventures, Forgepoint Capital and Partech

• Deployed our solution with major Enterprises such as Sodexo and GlobalConnect, and leading MSSPs like Orange Cyberdefense

• Expanded to the US market with a growing North American presence

• Ended 2025 with a strong multi-million dollar ARR and ambitious goals for 2026

What You Will Do

• Own your territory end-to-end. Build the account plan for France, Italy, Spain and Benelux enterprise accounts (€1B+ revenue). Segment, prioritize, and execute.

• Generate pipeline. You'll work closely with SDRs and Marketing, but the best reps at Qevlar always run their own outbound motion in parallel.

• Lead complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles. 3–6 month cycles involving CISOs, Heads of SOC, SOC architects, procurement, legal, and security review committees. Run them with MEDDPICC discipline.

• Deliver compelling product stories. Work with Sales Engineers to run demos, POVs and technical validation. You hold the business case; your SE holds the deep tech.

• Co-sell with our channel partners. Orange Cyberdefense, Atos, Almond, Nomios and others are actively selling Qevlar. You'll turn those relationships into joint pipeline in your region.

• Negotiate and close. Six-figure to seven-figure ACVs, multi-year contracts, enterprise security and legal reviews. You run it cleanly.

• Forecast accurately. Weekly pipeline review, clean CRM hygiene (HubSpot), honest calls on commit vs. best case.

• Feed the org. Bring field insights back to Product, Marketing and Leadership. Shape the playbook as we scale.
