???? CRO Chief Revenue Officer – French fluent – Dubai Full Time

About the job
You dream of a new adventure? You have international ambition? You love scaling companies, finding new revenue streams and you desire to put that thrive of excellence at the service of selling meaningful products that really change lives.

You are inspired by building a massive EdTech company that will empower millions of people.

You are a more than driven Chief Revenue Officer (CRO):
Someone who leads and aligns all revenue departments (marketing, sales, partnerships, customer success), and find new opportunities for massive growth
A strong leader who can attract and inspire great talents
Analytical mind & data driven
Really strong in terms of influence and strategy

Then, you have found the next adventure that will fulfill you.

But maybe YOU WONDER WHAT’S OUR STORY ? ??

We are convinced that people don’t want a job anymore!

They are thirsty for a project with meaning, either through entrepreneurship, or intrapreneurship

But…making it happen is quite hard without finding what truly inspires you and acquiring the Power Skills (soft skills in less boring) you need to get there: productivity, leadership, public speaking, coaching, stress management…

This is why we craft trainings & educational content to provide a set of tools and strategies centered around Power Skills, self-growth and performance.

We deliver through apps, e-learning platforms, events and a strong social media presence.

??Paradox has one goal: to empower people and organizations live their true ambition

The challenge is that some people experience learning as boring, too hard, or on the contrary: for losers.

Yeah, we all experienced that boring teacher ?? or stumble on this video with unsubstantiated/crazy theories

It needs to change!!

So we travel the world with learning designers, and researchers and surround ourselves with top entrepreneurs (Richard Branson, Marc Simoncini, Fred Mazzella), top athletes (Mike Horn, Frank Leboeuf), artists (Gad Elmaleh, Barry Osborne)… to reverse engineer their strategies.

??Our ambition is to make our trainings and coachings as attractive as watching Netflix and to make success the only option for our clients (whatever success means for them).

So far, this approach has paid off and has enabled us to exceed 2 million followers on social networks, and to organize online events and training courses attended by thousands of people.

But we wanted more, so we set 3 goals:
Helping 100 000 people achieve 1 dream and stick their pictures on a wall we call the 100 000 dreams wall
Have Will Smith and Richard Branson in our next documentary.
Reinvent Education & Create a badass platform to develop yourself by leveraging cutting-edge technology like AI, captivating storytelling & science
