Explore your future career  🔭

One of Malt France's top performing Business Units is the BU Energy & Construction, and we are looking for experienced KAMs to reinforce this strong growth!
Our Key Account Managers are in charge of acquiring and nurturing long-term partnerships with our large enterprise clients (37 companies of the CAC40 find their freelancers on Malt).
This is a challenging “full-stack” sales role that will directly contribute to the commercial expansion of Malt all while building quality relationships with our key accounts.



💼 Career Development

Here at Malt we have a clearly defined career path to accompany our teammates in their professional growth.
The Sales team is organized into Business Units that correspond to the industry sectors of our clients. The team consists of different levels of seniority: AM, KAM, Senior KAM, Practice Leader, BU Manager, and BU Director. 
You also have the opportunity to develop as an individual contributor or team leader: you will join an adventure where much is still to be done and where taking initiative is highly valued (organizing events, actively participating in conferences, internal training with our peers, etc.) 


Key responsibilities✨

  • I. Develop a portfolio of active clients within the Energy & Construction
  • Within large corporate accounts, become the main point of contact and trusted advisor of senior decision makers. Your objective will be to understand their use of freelancing, and identify how it could relate to their strategic challenges
  • Act as a trusted partner to develop tailor-made programs that match their core challenges
  • Convince them of the benefits of using a platform built on an open model that federates the leading community of freelancers in Europe


  • II. Develop the “Malt Reflex” and nurture your relationships

  • KAMs hold a "trusted advisor" position and establish a long-term support relationship with their clients. They play a key role in bringing value to the various client stakeholders through:
  • Identifying new needs in advance, for a rapid and qualitative response in the proposal of new expert profiles
  • Conducting meetings (regular or ad-hoc) and presenting deliverables on an ongoing basis: contractual follow-up points, production of external analyses and benchmarks, optimization of the customer experience, sharing of sector analyses, sharing of freelance feedback, etc.


  • III. Animate the team working on the account along with you (Client Operations, Recruitment Team, Community team), and bring them onboard to deliver your objectives

About you 🧑‍🚀

  • 3 to 5 years of professional experience in managing complex full-cycle B2B sales for key enterprise accounts
  • Business school degree or equivalent
  • Background in consulting or intellectual services is a strong advantage
  • Knowledge of the industry (Energy/Utilities/ Construction) is also a strong advantage
  • Excellent formal communication and presentation skills in order to organize and lead C-level meetings
  • Appetite for business development and eager to hunt and create new opportunities to break ground in an industry where partnerships have yet to be built
  • Curious and strong analytical skills to understand the short, medium, and long-term needs of clients
  • Native-level French speaker with fully professional English and ready to collaborate in an international environment

How to join the mission? 🚀

  • First call with Elisa, our Talent Acquisition Manager, to better understand your background and share more about this opportunity
  • First interview with one of our Key Account Managers to discuss your experience and the role in more detail
  • Business case to prepare and present to a panel of Sales leaders to evaluate your sales skills
  • Professional Reference check
  • Final interview with Reda, General Manager France, to discuss our long-term vision
