Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've shipped growth in B2B SaaS and own the full funnel—paid acquisition, email nurture, conversion optimization, not just one piece
  • You're analytical but also a builder: you can audit LinkedIn campaigns AND design ABM playbooks AND ship landing pages
  • You thrive with cross-functional complexity: Sales alignment, Product collaboration, content production, and budget management all happening at once
  • You're motivated by climate impact and sustainability but won't sacrifice rigor for mission—data drives your decisions
  • You're fluent in English, ideally multilingual, and can navigate a Paris-based role with European expansion on the horizon
Won't Work If
  • You're a specialist (paid media OR content OR ops only) without full-funnel accountability—this role demands breadth and ownership
  • You require remote flexibility; this is on-site Paris only
  • You need a 10-person team on day one—you're building a lean, high-execution team that grows with you
  • You're allergic to LinkedIn: it's a core channel today, even though diversification is a key mandate
