Sales Manager, Grocery & Retail - Independent Retail Expansion

Paris, France

About the Role

Uber Eats is experiencing rapid growth in the Grocery & Retail segment, with a strategic focus on accelerating expansion through Independent retail partners. This area is core to our growth strategy, offering significant opportunities to launch and scale large retail brands across the French market.

We are looking for an ambitious Sales Manager & Mid-Market Account Executive who will report directly to the Head of Strategic Accounts. In this role, you will be instrumental in leading a team of Sales Representatives while also managing key client relationships, driving a bottom-up sales strategy across individual stores and negotiating at a national level.

This hybrid position requires a strong sales background and the ability to guide sales representatives throughout the entire sales cycle: from store-level engagement to securing master agreements. If you excel in both sales management and account executive with high-level-stakeholder-influencing responsibilities, and you're ready to take on a role with significant impact, this is the perfect opportunity for you.
