Posted on Apr 2, 2025

At Amenitiz, we’re on a mission to simplify hospitality management, whether it's in the bustling streets of Paris or the serene Uyuni Salt Flats of Bolivia.

Empowering over 14,000 hoteliers worldwide, we’re more than just another SaaS scale-up—we’re revolutionizing one of the world’s oldest industries. With over $50 million raised from top-tier VCs who back disruptive giants like Alibaba, Toast, Zendesk, Delivery Hero, Revolut, and Loom, we've been recognized as a TravelTech Titan and one of Wired's hottest start-ups.

Our team, nearly 320 strong, based in beautiful Barcelona. At Amenitiz, we cultivate a culture of positivity and personal growth. Our team members are enthusiastic, thrive on ownership, and excel in collaboration. Every day, we lead by example, prioritizing client satisfaction and executing with excellence. We are committed to making a positive impact wherever we go.

About the Role

As our Head of Sales for the French Market, you will play a central role in driving Amenitiz’s growth in one of our most strategic regions.

This is a high-impact leadership role, reporting directly to the VP of Sales. You'll own the commercial success of the French region and collaborate cross-functionally to shape and scale our Go-To-Market (GTM) efforts.
