Requirements

• Portfolio growth: You’ve spent 5+ years growing partners or accounts in B2B, and you’re customer-centric and you grow portfolios over the long term.
• Real management experience: You’ve already led or mentored a team (of at least 5 people), and the technical side of people management doesn’t faze you.
• Driven by initiative and a proactive mindset: You challenge the status quo and bring ideas to leadership.
• Senior stakeholder ease: You’re comfortable in the room with managing partners and C-level decision-makers.
• Accounting know-how (a plus): You understand bookkeeping, accounting workflows, and invoicing regulations, or you're eager to learn them quickly.
• Field-ready: You can travel occasionally, and you're open to a hybrid field role as the accountant channel develops.
• AI-fluent and business-minded: You use AI tools in your daily workflow and think in referral rates, portfolio health, and partner revenue potential.
• Languages: You’re fluent in French (native at least C2 level) and comfortable in English (at least C1 level).

We Offer

• A high-visibility leadership role at the center of Qonto’s growth strategy for the accountant channel.
• Real ownership: you shape the strategy with the Business Unit Director rather than just executing it.
• A builder’s mandate - there’s still plenty to design, test, scale, and hire for.
• The chance to build Qonto’s field presence with accounting firms from the ground up.
