Senior Account Executive

At Source.ag, we're dedicated to driving innovation in the horticultural sector and making fresh produce more accessible and affordable globally.

We're looking for a seasoned sales professional to own our growth across Europe and the rest of the world. This role is ideal for someone who brings an established network in the international greenhouse industry, is equally comfortable selling direct and building through partners, and has a limitless drive to bring Source's AI solutions to the largest greenhouse growers worldwide.

Your territory covers Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific, with the exception of the Netherlands and Belgium. You work closely together and report into the CCO (Founder).

What you'll do:

• Market entry: Identify and open new local markets, building the commercial foundation from the ground up.

• Partner & agent network: Recruit, onboard and manage local partners and agents; make them productive and manage their performance..

• Prospecting: Identify, qualify and develop new business opportunities with the major growers and marketers across your territory.

• Deal Lifecycle Management: Lead end-to-end sales processes from discovery, presentation, and demonstration through to negotiation and closing.

• Cross-functional collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with our AI Solution Specialist team to tailor product demonstrations and maximise customer value, and with the Product team to ensure the best market fit.

• Relationship management: Cultivate and strengthen relationships with key stakeholders - growers, cooperatives and industry partners - to drive long-term success.

• An established international network in the greenhouse industry, including relationships with senior (C-level) stakeholders at large growers and cooperatives. You should feel comfortable providing senior-level stakeholders as professional references during the interview process.

• Fluent in English. French, German and/or Spanish are a strong plus; additional languages are welcome.

• Experience entering markets where the company has little or no existing presence.

• Proven track record of closing enterprise and high-value deals.

• Excellent communication, negotiation and interpersonal skills.
