Account Executive / Account Executive

German & French Speaking Account Executive

We are currently collaborating with a manufacturing company that supplies clients across the UK, Germany, and France. As part of their expansion, they are enhancing their commercial team to strengthen relationships with their German and French-speaking client base.

The Role

We are seeking a bilingual (German and French) Account Executive who will be responsible for managing and nurturing relationships with our existing clients in Germany and France. This role is not sales-based, as you will be working exclusively with long-established clients. You will serve as the primary point of contact for a portfolio of manufacturing sector clients, focusing on driving revenue growth, managing the full sales cycle, and ensuring long-term customer satisfaction.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and grow a portfolio of accounts across the DACH, France, and Benelux regions.
• Oversee the full sales cycle: prospecting, qualification, proposal, negotiation, and closing.
• Build strong, long-term relationships with procurement, engineering, and operations stakeholders at manufacturing clients.
• Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities within existing accounts.
• Prepare and deliver product presentations, quotes, and proposals in German, French, and English.
• Collaborate with production, logistics, and technical teams to ensure accurate delivery timelines and specifications.
• Track pipeline activity and forecast accurately using CRM tools.
• Negotiate contracts and pricing in line with company margin targets.

Requirements

• Fluent in German and French (written and spoken) with professional working proficiency in English.
• 1-2 years of experience in account management, customer service, or sales.
• Strong negotiation, presentation, and relationship-building skills.
• Comfortable working with technical products and translating specifications for non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience with CRM software and sales forecasting.
• A self-starter with strong organizational skills and the ability to manage a multi-country pipeline independently.
