Enterprise Account Executive, EMEA, Bilingual French

Description

Professional Services firms are under pressure to do more with less - faster delivery, better utilization, stronger margins, happier clients. Kantata is the leading cloud platform built to solve exactly that. Over 2,500 customers in 100+ countries use us to plan resources, manage projects, and unlock AI-driven insights that transform how they run their businesses.

We're scaling fast - well-funded, expanding globally, and investing heavily in AI and enterprise sales. If you love winning complex deals, opening new markets, and becoming a trusted advisor to executive buyers, we want to talk to you.

The Opportunity

This isn't a territory-maintenance role. You'll own a strategic Enterprise patch (1,000+ employee organizations) - hunting new opportunities, engaging C-level executives, and running full sales cycles from first call to close. You'll be backed by top-tier Solution Engineers, Customer Success, Marketing, and Executive Leadership, with real autonomy and real investment behind you.

Why Sellers Join Kantata

• Greenfield territory - most enterprise accounts are still underpenetrated, meaning real whitespace to build and win big.
• A mission-critical platform - not a point solution. Kantata drives profitability, utilization, forecasting, and delivery outcomes that matter to the C-suite.
• Expert partners - sell alongside Solution Engineers and leaders who know enterprise buying cycles and are invested in your success.
• A company built for the long haul - well-capitalized, growing, and investing in product, AI, and enterprise sales - not just defending market share.
