About Freshflow
€72 billion worth of fresh food is wasted every year in European grocery retail. Freshflow is building the AI Operating System for the Fresh Food Supply Chain — starting with ordering and inventory optimization for fresh produce departments.
We work with some of the largest retailers in Germany and France — EDEKA, REWE, Carrefour, Intermarché, and E.Leclerc — reducing waste by ~24% while improving on-shelf availability. We're growing revenues 400% year-over-year, backed by World Fund and Capnamic, and just getting started.
The role
As an Account Executive, you own the full sales cycle — from first outreach to signed contract. You sell bottom-up into retail, talking directly to Marktmanager and Frische-Chefs at the store level, not just HQ. You understand their world and earn trust fast. Pipeline ownership is yours: our SDRs support you, but the moment a meeting is booked, you take over and drive the deal all the way to close.
What you'll do
- Own the full sales cycle — from first outreach to signed contract: demos, discovery calls, and closing.
- Sell bottom-up into retail — you talk to Marktmanager and Frische-Chefs at the store level, not just HQ, and earn trust fast.
- Build and manage your pipeline — collaborate with our SDR team on inbound leads and develop outbound coverage across your territory in Germany.
- Expand existing accounts — land and expand: once a store is live, you identify rollout potential and grow the account within the same group.
- Feed market insights back into the team — what are you hearing out there? What's working? You're our eyes and ears on the ground.
What you bring
You don't need to tick every box — we're looking for driven people who want to grow.
- 2+ years of B2B SaaS sales experience, ideally in a closing role.
- A track record of hitting or exceeding quota — you can show us the numbers.
- Fluent German (native or near-native) — you'll be talking to Kaufleute every day.
- Comfort selling to operators, not just software buyers — you explain complex value simply and clearly.
- Self-sufficient pipeline management — you don't wait for leads to come to you.
- CRM discipline: you document what you do and learn from the data.
Nice to have
- Background in grocery retail, food tech, or supply chain software.
- Experience selling into SMB or franchise environments.
- Good English — our team is international.
Why this is more than “just a job”
- Real impact — every deal you close brings us closer to less food waste and lower CO₂ emissions.
- Career growth — clear path towards Senior AE or leadership as we scale.
- Remote-first — work from anywhere in Germany, within a team of 12+ nationalities.
- Strong compensation — OTE €80,000–100,000 (base + variable).
