• Lead negotiations and proposal development, adapting deal structure based on partner needs
• Execute a value-based sales approach rooted in customer pain points and ROI
• Share partner feedback and market intelligence with internal teams to inform strategy and product roadmaps
• Adapt to shifting regional assignments based on market opportunities and demand
What You’ll Bring
• Relevant experience in sales, preferably in B2B grocery or foodtech sectors.
• Existing network of relationships across operations, marketing, and leadership in the independent grocery space
• Experience navigating long or complex sales cycles with multiple stakeholders
• Highly skilled in phone-based and remote selling environments—you’re energized by inside sales
Nice to Have
