How to Apply for Entrepreneur in Residence (GTM) France (m/f/d)

at Green Fusion

🏢 About Green Fusion

Green Fusion is a climate tech startup that automates boiler rooms to maximize energy savings and reduce CO₂ emissions, directly addressing energy efficiency in buildings. Unlike generic energy companies, they focus specifically on boiler room automation with measurable impact on both costs and carbon footprint. Working here offers the chance to contribute to tangible environmental solutions while operating in the fast-paced startup environment of PropTech/Real Estate tech.

About This Role

As Entrepreneur in Residence (GTM) France, you'll be the operational right hand to the Regional Manager, translating go-to-market strategy into weekly execution across sales enablement, market research, pipeline generation, and partnerships. This role is impactful because you'll help build Green Fusion's French market presence from the ground up, directly influencing their expansion success in a key European market while gaining hands-on experience across all GTM functions.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your typical day might start with reviewing CRM pipeline updates and preparing materials for the Regional Manager's meetings, followed by localizing sales decks for French prospects based on recent market feedback. In the afternoon, you could be researching potential French partners in the contractor/installation space, then synthesizing competitive intelligence into actionable recommendations for the weekly GTM priorities review.

  • Showing limited understanding of the French market specifics or Green Fusion's niche in boiler room automation (not just generic energy tech)
  • Focusing too much on wanting to 'learn' without demonstrating how you'll immediately contribute to GTM execution and support the Regional Manager
