Strategic Account Executive (France)

Bloomreach is building the world’s premier agentic platform for personalization. We’re revolutionizing how businesses connect with their customers, building and deploying AI agents to personalize the entire customer journey. We’re taking autonomous search mainstream, making product discovery more intuitive and conversational for customers, and more profitable for businesses. We’re making conversational shopping a reality, connecting every shopper with tailored guidance and product expertise — available on demand, at every touchpoint in their journey. We’re designing the future of autonomous marketing, taking the work out of workflows, and reclaiming the creative, strategic, and customer-first work marketers were always meant to do. And we’re building all of that on the intelligence of a single AI engine — Loomi AI — so that personalization isn’t only autonomous…it’s also consistent.
