How to Apply for Regional Manager France (Sales & Business Development) (m/f/d)
at Green Fusion
🏢 About Green Fusion
Green Fusion is a specialized tech company that automates boiler rooms to maximize energy savings and reduce CO₂ emissions, targeting the industrial and real estate sectors. Unlike generic energy management solutions, they focus specifically on boiler optimization through automation technology, offering tangible environmental impact and cost reduction for clients. Working here means contributing directly to sustainability goals while building a market from scratch in France.
About This Role
As Regional Manager France, you'll be responsible for opening the French market from zero—conducting market research, identifying target customers, building partnerships, and closing the first reference deals. This role involves creating and executing the entire go-to-market strategy for France, making it highly impactful as you'll establish Green Fusion's presence and scalable sales processes in a new territory.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day involves conducting market research on French industrial or real estate companies, reaching out to potential partners or leads, and refining the go-to-market strategy. You might spend time analyzing competitor offerings, preparing sales pitches tailored to French stakeholders, and collaborating remotely with the German team to align on processes and goals.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Green Fusion Is Looking For
- Has 5+ years in B2B sales/business development with complex products (SaaS, tech, industrial, or energy), ideally in PropTech, real estate, or energy sectors.
- Demonstrates a startup mindset—comfortable with ambiguity, able to build processes from scratch, and thrive in incomplete structures.
- Native French speaker with C1 English and preferably B2/C1 German, understanding the stakeholder landscape in French industrial/real estate markets.
- Has experience in market entry or building business from the ground up, with a track record of closing deals in new territories.
📝 Tips for Applying to Green Fusion
Highlight specific experience in opening new markets or building sales pipelines from zero, especially in France or similar EU regions.
Emphasize your understanding of complex B2B sales cycles in tech/industrial sectors, with examples of dealing with long sales cycles or multi-stakeholder decisions.
Showcase your startup adaptability—mention instances where you created processes, worked with limited resources, or thrived in unstructured environments.
Tailor your resume to include keywords like 'market entry,' 'go-to-market strategy,' 'partnership development,' and 'boiler room automation' or related energy tech.
If you have German language skills (B2/C1), explicitly mention them, as it's a plus for collaborating with the likely German-based HQ.
