Pourquoi un CV pour ce poste ?

94 % des employeurs disent que leurs filtres écartent des candidats qualifiés dont le CV ne reprend pas les critères exacts de l’annonce (Harvard Business School, 2021).

  • Ils voient d’abord ce qu’ils ont demandé. L’expérience qui correspond à l’annonce passe en tête, avec les mots de l’annonce, pour qu’une lecture rapide la trouve en quelques secondes.
  • Il passe les logiciels de tri. Beaucoup de grands employeurs utilisent des logiciels qui classent les CV selon leur proximité avec l’annonce, souvent avant qu’une personne ne les lise.
  • Dans la langue de l’annonce. Une annonce en espagnol reçoit un CV en espagnol, même si le vôtre est en portugais.
  • Vos faits, rien d’inventé. Votre propre expérience, réordonnée et reformulée. Ce que l’annonce demande et que votre CV ne montre pas vous est listé, à ajouter seulement si c’est vrai. Vous le relisez avant de l’envoyer.

🌍 We’re making security suck less for developers.

Security tools haven’t kept up with how software is built today. They interrupt teams, slow releases, and turn security into a bottleneck instead of a capability. We built Aikido to change that. Aikido builds developer-first security products that reduce real risk without getting in the way of shipping software. We focus on what actually matters and automate the rest.

We’re taking on legacy security tools teams have been stuck with, and we’re winning. If you want to help us take market share and build products developers actually enjoy using, you’re in the right place.

Founded in 2022 by third-time founders, Aikido has $85M in the bank and a long runway ahead. We’re building toward self-securing software. Join an all-star team. Take real ownership. Push boundaries. Build things that matter.

We're looking for a hands-on Sales Manager to lead and grow our SMB sales team.

You'll be responsible for managing and coaching a team of Account Executives. This is not a pure management role we're looking for someone who leads from the front, helps close deals, sharpens execution, and raises the bar across the team.

Responsibilities

  • Lead, coach, and scale a team of SMB Account Executives based in EMEA
  • Drive pipeline generation and revenue growth across your territory
  • Improve outbound, inbound, and sales execution processes
  • Support reps on strategic deals and key accounts
  • Build a high-performance, high-accountability sales culture
  • Collaborate with marketing and growth on GTM initiatives targeting SMB customers
  • Hire, onboard, and develop top sales talent
  • Forecast accurately and manage team performance metrics
  • Proven experience leading high-performing SaaS sales teams in an SMB segment
  • Experience managing Account Executives
  • Strong understanding of outbound sales, prospecting, CRM workflows, and pipeline management
  • Tech-savvy and comfortable selling technical products
  • Strong coaching and people management skills
  • Self-starter who thrives in a fast-growing startup environment
  • Based in Ghent or London

What you can expect

  • Short decision lines. Big ownership. Shape the projects that matter and ship fast.
  • Grow as fast as we do. Take on more, own more, and carve out your own path.
  • Top-tier tech pay and equity.
  • High trust, strong values, zero corporate BS.
  • Flexibility in working hours.
  • A company that sticks to its values in an open and informal atmosphere.

We hire for talent, drive, and potential. Everything else is noise.
