  • Collaborate with internal operations and supply chain teams to ensure smooth client experience
  • Participate in regular sales reviews and contribute to process improvements
Required Qualifications
  • 2-5+ years of B2B sales or account management experience with a proven outbound track record
  • Demonstrated ability to manage a large portfolio of accounts while simultaneously hunting new business
  • High emotional intelligence - able to build trust and navigate complex client relationships
  • Excellent spoken and written English suited for US client facing communication
  • Comfortable working in a startup environment with evolving processes and priorities
  • Strong CRM proficiency and disciplined pipeline management habits
  • Experience working with US based clients
Preferred Qualifications
  • Background in food service, hospitality, logistics, or wholesale distribution
  • Familiarity with restaurant operations or supply chain workflows
  • Experience managing high volume, transactional account bases
Tools & Technology
  • CRM platforms (HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar)
  • Zoom, Google Meet, or similar video conferencing tools
  • Slack and Google Workspace
  • Sales engagement and scheduling tools
Interview Process - Important

This is a highly client facing role, and the interview process includes a mandatory video submission. Candidates must:

  • Treat the video as a formal business interview
  • Dress in professional business attire (equivalent to a suit and tie interview standard)
  • Present themselves exactly as they would for a high level client or executive meeting
