Join us as Partner Success Lead - Chartered Accountants and turn Qonto’s network of accounting firms into its strongest growth channel. You’ll lead a team of 7 Partner Success Managers, own the customer acquisition and revenue they generate, and shape the partnership strategy alongside Charles, our Business Unit Director.
➡️ What you’ll do
- Lead and grow the team: Coach 7 Partner Success Managers through onboarding, performance, and career moves.
- Co-own the channel strategy: Define the Chartered Accountant partnership ambition with the Business Unit Director.
- Own the numbers: Drive referrals, KYBs, retention, and partner revenue across the portfolio, using AI to turn partner data into sharper targeting.
- Build the next playbook: Design scalable ways for firms to engage with Qonto that go well beyond asking them for referrals.
- Support high-stakes partner meetings: Join your team in video calls or in-person meetings with managing partners and C-level stakeholders when strategic opportunities or challenges call for your involvement.
- Work across the company: Partner with Sales, Marketing, SalesOps, GrowthOps and Product on activation, escalations, and market insights, and advocate for the resources your team needs.
➡️ What we’re looking for
- 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).
➡️ What we can offer you
- A high-visibility leadership role at the centre 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.
➡️ Your future manager
You’ll report to Charles Macaire, Business Unit Director. An École Polytechnique graduate, Charles started out at EDF and Air Liquide, then ran a several-hundred-million-euro P&L and B2B commercial teams at Amazon, before leading global Sales & Customer Success at Sleek in Singapore. He’s looking for someone who is proactive and business oriented.
