Summary:

We are looking for an French Speaking Business Development Representative to join our growing Sales team in EMEA. This role is based out of our Dublin hub, with occasional international travel for meetings and events.
This role is for an experienced outbound seller who thrives in a high-velocity environment and is ready to take the next step in their sales career. You are a natural hunter: you go after new logos, open doors with senior decision-makers, and turn a firm "no" into a real conversation. You bring the sales finesse to consult prospective clients on Clio's Suite offerings across all segments, from Velocity to Mid-Market, building relationships while staying sensitive to each prospect's needs.
What your team does
Our Business Development team is a critical part of the engine that drives interest in Clio's product offerings across our prospective customer base.

We create high-quality sales opportunities for our Account Executive teams that directly impact Clio's revenue growth.

What you'll work on

• Proactively hunting and opening new logo accounts across Velocity to Mid-Market segments;
• Running targeted, multi-channel outbound campaigns across phone, email, LinkedIn and events;
• Engaging and multi-threading with senior stakeholders, including managing partners and practice leaders;
• Handling complex objections with confidence, uncovering the real business pain behind them;
• Running discovery conversations that qualify deeply on need, budget, authority and timing before handing over to Account Executives;
• Building and owning your own territory and account plans, using market research to prioritise high-value targets;
• Partnering closely with Account Executives on pipeline strategy and deal handover;
• Understanding customers' practice areas, competitive differentiators and technical requirements, and positioning Clio's value proposition against competitors;
• Sharing best practice and supporting the development of SDRs on the team;
• Reporting on pipeline contribution and performance, and documenting all activity in Salesforce.

What you may have

• Native or fluent French and professional fluency in English, both written and spoken is required.
• 1–2+ years of outbound B2B sales experience, ideally as an SDR or BDR, with a proven record of hitting or exceeding targets;
• Strong objection-handling skills and the resilience to stay persistent through rejection;
• A hunter mentality: self-driven, competitive, and motivated by winning new business;
• Confidence engaging senior decision-makers and holding commercial conversations;
• Knowledge of and passion for technology and cloud-based products;
• A continuous improvement mindset, including a keen interest in improving your craft by using AI.

Serious bonus points if you have

• Sales experience and training at a leading tech/IT company;
• Experience selling SaaS, ideally into professional services or legal;
• Experience prospecting into Mid-Market accounts.
