Two reps on this team have moved into closing roles this year. You could be next.
About the business
A $200m+ global SaaS business with 700 people worldwide. Their AI-driven product analytics show companies what's working and what isn't, helping thousands of digital-first businesses drive adoption and retention. They're scaling fast across EMEA, with startup energy and enterprise stability.
The role
This is a first-line role - you'll own outbound into the French market from the ground up. You'll work alongside a sales leader with a track record of turning early-career reps into top performers, with daily coaching built in from day one. You'll prospect and qualify opportunities across France, engage French-speaking decision-makers in SaaS and tech, and run outbound across phone, email, LinkedIn, and events in both French and English. This isn't a "figure it out yourself" SDR job - it's structured, hands-on tech sales with a clear path up.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
