Account Executive (Fluent in English & French)

Scaled Agile, Inc., (SAI) is a global training and enablement platform equipping enterprises with the capabilities needed to compete in an era defined by rapid change, digital complexity, and AI-driven work. Through SAFe®, the world’s most trusted system for enterprise agility, and a growing portfolio of enterprise AI education and enablement programs, we help organizations make better decisions, accelerate value delivery, and build adaptable, high-performing teams.

Job Description

This role is built for multi-lingual sellers who know how to change customer thinking and move deals forward—not wait for perfect alignment or hide behind process. As an Account Executive, you will manage the entire sales cycle for enterprise and upper mid-market customers in Europe, including partners collaboration, new deals and expansion opportunities with current customers. You’ll close transformation deals with a clear path for ongoing growth and expansion. You’ll sell Scaled Agile’s enterprise solutions by challenging how customers approach Agile, AI adoption, Lean Portfolio Management, and organizational change. Your work will help leaders move from stalled intent to decisive action. This is a high‑autonomy role for someone who thrives in messy buying environments, where urgency must be created, value must be quantified, and decisions rarely arrive fully formed.

What You’ll Do

• Lead insight‑driven sales conversations — Teach customers something new about the risks of the status quo and the opportunity cost of delaying enterprise change.
• Expand accounts intentionally — Actively engage with your designated strategic accounts to deeply understand their business needs and deliver a personalized SAFe experience, ensuring their satisfaction, success, retention, and growth.
• Own the full deal lifecycle — Prospect, qualify, advance, negotiate, and close opportunities with discipline and urgency.
• Create momentum in mid‑sized enterprise deals — Drive opportunities forward when buyers are uncertain, divided, or overloaded.
• Navigate real buying groups — Engage directors, VPs, and executives across technology, product, finance, and transformation roles—aligning stakeholders without waiting for consensus.
• Build business cases that resonate — Translate Agile and AI transformation into economic, operational, and leadership outcomes that buyers care about.
• Collaborate across teams — Work closely with marketing, partners, and delivery to ensure deals close cleanly and customers launch successfully.
• Represent Scaled Agile externally — Engage in industry events and conversations where credibility and point of view matter more than product demos.

Qualifications

What You Bring to the Table

• Fluent in French, English, and possibly another language (written and verbal).
• 2+ years of quota‑carrying experience in B2B sales, ideally in technology, services, or transformation‑focused offerings.
• 2+ years of account management experience, leveraging existing contacts to build a substantial book of business.
• End‑to‑end sales cycle management, owned the entire sales process from prospecting and qualifying leads to closing new business and growing existing customers.
• Proven success closing decently sized deals involving multiple stakeholders (deal sizes equivalent to $50k‑$200K USD).
• Comfort leading conversations with directors, VPs, and executive sponsors.
• Strong discovery and qualification skills — you know when an opportunity is real.
• Ability to create urgency without being pushy.
• Experience collaborating with external partners or internal specialists to advance deals.
• Consistent record of meeting or exceeding targets.
• Familiarity with Agile, AI, or organizational change concepts (you don’t need to be an expert—you need to be credible).
• Confidence, curiosity and stellar communication skills.
