Account Executive (Early Career) – Quantum Hardware / Deep Tech

I am partnered with a French quantum start-up focused on developing and manufacturing quantum electronics primarily used for high-fidelity cryogenic qubit readout in superconducting quantum computers. 

We are looking for a junior Account Executive to support commercial growth across universities, research institutions, and evaluation programs within the global quantum ecosystems. This role is designed for someone who can operate across the full sales cycle in start-up environments, from outbound prospecting and inbound qualification through to managing evaluation programs, coordinating technical discussions, and closing smaller deals, while supporting senior leadership on larger Tier 1 and original equipment manufacturer opportunities.

You will be responsible for building and managing pipeline using tools such as HubSpot, maintaining disciplined follow-up, and engaging credibly with technically literate stakeholders. The role requires strong organisation, commercial awareness, and the ability to operate with pace and ambiguity in a deep tech environment where credibility matters more than volume.
