About this role
Join Choco, where we build and own solutions that reshape a broken food system.The global food supply chain is inefficient by design. Waste is high, margins are thin, and most distributor order processes are done over the phone, tracked across broad spreadsheets, and based on intuition rather than strong data.At Choco, we’re changing that.
We build software used daily by food distributors and their customers to run their business. It automates orders, reduces errors, and helps operations run faster and more reliably.
Because it’s embedded in daily operations, our SaaS platform has immediate, real-world impact, on efficiency, margins, and how businesses run day to day.MissionAs an Account Executive, you will win new food distributor customers across the French market, owning the full sales cycle from first conversation to signed agreement and helping them modernize their operations with Choco’s technology.

You must adeptly pivot your strategy, balancing relationship-building with high-touch, consultative selling to drive consensus and close deals across varying business structures.Help improve how we sell by sharing
what you learn from customers, testing new approaches, and contributing to the team’s playbook.Partner cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, and Customer Success teams to ensure a seamless transition for new clients a
