Description of the mission

At Sopht, we believe IT should be a driver of the ecological transition, not an obstacle.

Our mission is to help companies measure, optimize, and reduce the environmental impact of their IT through a precise, transparent, and actionable SaaS platform.

  • Represent Sopht across the ecosystem (events, conferences, key meetings)
  • Help scale international sales and partner-led growth processes

Nice to have

  • Knowledge of carbon accounting, environmental impact, or IT transformation
  • Background in a fast-growing startup or scale-up

Total compensation

60-70k base salary + €40-50k bonus/variable pay

Profile

  • 7+ years of experience in a commercial role, ideally on complex and international deals
  • Solid experience in IT (knowledge of IT personas and ecosystem)
  • Proven exposure to partnerships
  • Ability to sell strategic value, not just software
  • Credibility with C-level, IT, Sustainability stakeholders
