France is home to some of the most iconic retail and consumer operators in the world — hypermarket pioneers, luxury and beauty houses that set the global standard, and a new generation of digital-native champions. Think Carrefour, Leclerc, Auchan,, Intermarché, Decathlon, L'Oréal, LVMH, La Redoute, Showroomprivé, etc. Companies running active digital channels, high purchase frequency, and wide catalogs across multiple banners and geographies. The data they generate every day is extraordinary. The gap is acting on it fast enough to matter.
This is a zero-to-one role. No inherited pipeline. No playbook handed to you. No one warming the seat. You'll be the first GTM in France — prospecting, closing, building a team, and defining how Hilbert wins the market that matters most.
Own revenue end to end: Everyone starts as an individual contributor. You thrive owning a full sales cycle — navigating complex enterprise environments from outbound to close six-figure contracts
Augment our partners: We win only when our partners win. We will teach you enough growth engine knowledge to help partners get to value fast. As revenue scales, you will be accompanied by top forward deployed Engineers and Growth success managers to ensure our partners expand with better queries, sharper insights and actions that compound.
Run every motion: Outbound prospecting, inbound pipeline, partnerships, events, partner expansion— you own the sequencing and build the playbook..
Expand and deepen. Identify new use cases within accounts across departments and geographies. Translate growth into case studies and proof points with the product teams. Feed market intelligence back into the product roadmap — your proximity to the action is a direct input into how Hilbert evolves.
Shape the strategy.Partner with the founding team on pricing, positioning, and what winning in France looks like. Build the forecasting discipline to make it repeatable.
You've closed real enterprise revenue. Not assisted. Not SDR-sourced and AE-closed. You owned the deal.
You've built something from scratch — a market, a team, a territory with no warm leads
You communicate with executives without flinching — and earn trust fast
You operate like a founder: self-sourcing, self-managing, making calls without being asked
Resilience that comes from building, not coasting. Complex, ambiguous deals energize you.
You think in growth engineering terms — RFM, cohort analysis, payback periods, retention curves. This should be your natural language, not something you look up.
You've sold into or worked inside retail, grocery, FMCG, or e-commerce. French-market experience is a strong plus.
You show up publicly. LinkedIn, X, in-person — you're in the arena, learning in public, engaging in the conversations that matter. We expect our GTMs to be curious, share what they learn, and push market intelligence back to the team.
You're agentic by design. You already use Claude, Gemini, OpenAI to run your GTM workflow — research, outreach, pipeline management. Comfortable with agentic infrastructure, or hungry to be. This is how we operate.
We are genuinely passionate about this problem — not because it's a market opportunity, but because we lived it. Over a decade, across nine countries and hundreds of millions in budget, we ran growth systems in some of the most demanding B2C environments on earth. Data scattered, teams misaligned, insights stuck in dashboards, decisions always late. We didn't come from academia. We built Hilbert because the infra didn't exist — and we were tired of working without it.
Most growth tools tell you what happened. Hilbert tells you what to do next — and then does it. Built on deep learning, not prompts. What sets us apart isn't the technology alone — it's that we've sat on the other side of the table. We know what "messy data" really means. We know what a CDO needs on a Monday morning.
We want to be in this adventure with long-term, good people. We believe this is a generational company, and the road has to be uncomfortably exciting. We want captains, not passengers. People who are as passionate about the problem as they are about the ride.
