VP Revenue Operations
Agicap
Operations
Lyon, France
Posted on Feb 20, 2025
Created in Lyon in 2016 by three French entrepreneurs, Agicap is one of the fastest scale-ups in Europe, with over 8000 customers, 550 employees and fast revenue growth (7x between 2021 and 2024). Agicap is part of the FT120, rewarding the most promising startups in France. We have raised €145M since our creation, with prestigious VC funds including AVP, Greenoaks, Partech and BlackFin, with a last round in November 2024.
Our ambition is to become the leader in all-in-one Treasury Management for SMEs and Mid-Market companies worldwide. We are already present in 5 geographies: France, Germany, Italy, UK and Spain.
Historically, Agicap used to target small businesses but in the past 3 years we have initiated our up-market move to target larger companies, especially in the mid-market segment. This new ICP has drastically changed our Sales & Marketing approach:
- From transactional Sales to value-based Sales due to longer / more complex Sales cycles
- Change in our channel mix
- New objectives for the Marketing department: from direct lead generation to demand generation
- Sharper understanding of Sales methodologies & processes
- Etc.
As we scaled our go-to-market, our Sales & Marketing organization has also become (& is still becoming) increasingly complex:
- Three co-existing acquisition channels: Outbound, Inbound and Partnerships
- Three co-existing products: Treasury, Accounts Payable Automation and Accounts Receivable Automation
- Different levels of maturity in our current geographies (France, Germany, Italy, UK, Spain)
- Very different prospect profiles (& sales cycles) between mid-market and smaller companies
- Several quantitative objectives running in parallel: MRR, Cash in, one-off revenues, etc.
- More complex compensation plans
- Etc.
In this context, we want to reinforce our Revenue organization to ensure better alignment and smarter processes at the Group level while adding functional expertise that could help our Sales & Marketing teams to grow further.
