Senior Account Executive job description

About Gladia

Gladia builds the audio AI infrastructure behind the new generation of voice products. Our mission is to give every voice platform true conversational intelligence — the audio infrastructure that understands every conversation, turning voice into the world's most valuable data layer.

Our API turns real-world conversational audio into accurate, structured, real-time output — powered by our proprietary Solaria ASR, across 100+ languages, with industry-leading latency.

Hundreds of companies build their voice products on Gladia — from meeting assistants and voice agents to sales-enablement and contact-center platforms. We started in Paris, our growth is developer-led and heavily US-driven (and we're going after the US market hard).

Headquartered in vibrant tech hubs like Paris and New York City, Gladia has been by OVH Groupe Europe's leading cloud provider — and now operates as a fully autonomous brand and company within the Group.

We're guided by four values:

  • Honest — Say the real thing, kindly.

  • Smart — Work smart, ship fast.

  • Builders — Own your scope, build to last.

  • Caring — Support people, take pride in the craft.

As a Senior AE, you'll uncover the challenges organisations ( voice agents, meeting assistants, contact-center platforms) face when they build and run Speech AI at scale and land the right Gladia solution for them. You'll sell a technical, usage or contract based API product to engineering and business stakeholders. Based in Paris. Reporting to Head of Sales.

The role

  • Run a rigorous, repeatable sales process across a range of company types and buyer profiles — from developer-led teams to enterprise buying committees.

  • Own the relationship map for your territory: existing accounts and the aspirational logos you want to win.

  • Build a deep understanding of each customer's business and the technical problem they're solving.

  • Negotiate pricing and terms by selling value and ROI, not discounts.

  • Expand reach and depth across your territory — grow existing accounts while landing new logos.

  • Navigate complex, technical deals with resourcefulness, and know intuitively what it takes to get to close.

  • Work alongside Forward Deployed Engineers in complex Sales cycles and Gladia evaluations

  • Identify the real business drivers behind every opportunity, and qualify hard.

  • Keep forecasting accurate and consistent — your pipeline is always clean.

Who you are

  • 5+ years of closing experience in B2B, ideally selling a technical or API/SaaS product.

  • Consistent track record of meeting or beating direct sales targets

  • Comfortable managing deal sizes of 50K to 150K USD

  • You build your own pipeline — you can show the method, not just the results.

  • Experience selling to engineers and IT decision-makers.

  • Strong knowledge of sales methodologies (MEDDICC, BANT, or similar).

  • Experience winning new logos in an innovative tech environment (SaaS, API, dev tools, IT infrastructure or similar).

  • Collaborative problem-solver, with high standards, proactivity and genuine curiosity.

  • Fluent in English; French a plus.

What Gladia offers

  • The compensation offered is based on seniority and experience, and would typically range from 100K to 140K OTE

  • Hybrid work from our offices in the heart of Paris

  • Lunch vouchers (approx. 200€/month)

  • An allowance of 360€/year for your sports activities

  • An allowance of 300€ for the adaptation of your workstation

  • Health insurance (100% coverage) and a pension contract for you & your family

  • Flexible vacation policy

Please submit your application in English. It’s our company language so you’ll be speaking lots of it if you join.

We treat all candidates equally - if you’re interested please apply through our careers portal.
