About Us:

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge.

We've been working on this together since 2016, and have customers like OpenAI, Toyota, Figma, Ramp, and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.

  • Conduct comprehensive discovery sessions to understand client needs and present tailored solutions.
  • Prepare and deliver compelling presentations and product demonstrations to prospective clients.
  • Negotiate contract terms and pricing structures to secure profitable deals.
  • Maintain accurate records of all sales activities and pipeline management using CRM tools.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders, including C-suite executives, to ensure customer satisfaction and long-term partnerships.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with internal teams, including Marketing, Product, and Customer Success, to deliver exceptional value to clients.

  • Extensive field-based enterprise software sales experience, selling solutions into large enterprise accounts.
  • Proven ability to sell into C-Level and work with stakeholders across various lines of business.
  • Experience in complex solution sales and consistently closing large figure deals.
  • Exceptional communication and presentation skills in both French and English.
  • A builder mentality who thrives in collaborative environments.
