In just over four years, Stora has helped hundreds of operators globally process tens of millions in automated payments. We’ve built a reputation as innovators in our space, with a fast-growing product and a team focused on clarity, momentum, and real outcomes.

We’ve proven product-market fit across multiple regions and we now want to accelerate our growth across Europe.

Why this role matters

To accelerate our growth across France. You’ll be responsible for identifying opportunities and turning them into consistent, repeatable revenue across the region.

You’ll lead from the front in a growing region — working with a high degree of autonomy while collaborating closely with the wider team across Europe. You will be responsible for building momentum, shaping our approach, and accelerating growth in a key market.

This role is about ownership as much as execution. You’ll identify opportunities, progress deals, and generate insight on the ground — feeding back what resonates with customers and what doesn’t.

What you’ll be doing

• Developing new business through outbound prospecting, networking, and self-sourced opportunities across France

• Owning the full sales cycle for prospects, from first meeting to close

• Running high-quality discovery and demos with self storage operators

• Qualifying opportunities rigorously

• Closing new ARR and contributing directly to revenue targets

• Working with Marketing to refine ICPs, messaging, and objections

• Feeding real market insight back into Product and GTM strategy
