About the Role

We’re looking for an Account Executive to join the Fresho USA Sales Team!

It’s an exciting time to join Fresho. Since launching in the USA market in 2025, we’ve continued to grow and are welcoming more suppliers onto the platform - which means we’re expanding our Sales team. 🚀

As Fresho’s second senior sales hire in the US market, you’ll have a rare opportunity to make a visible impact at a pivotal stage of our expansion. You’ll help shape our go-to-market presence, build strategic pipeline, win high-value customers, and set the standard for how Fresho grows across the USA.

If you thrive in a fast-paced, customer-centric environment, this role offers the opportunity to make a significant impact in a growing technology business.

This role would be ideal for candidates with…

• A strong track record of exceeding sales targets, including closing $25k+ annual deals and managing complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles

• Experience in a vertical SaaS environment, being able to articulate the role a software plays in a specific industry and how market dynamics can be leveraged

• Proven proficiency in a critical sales seat - you combine a talent in closing deals with a strategic mindset and just need to learn our product and sales approach

Talk to prospective customers about technology that’s not just useful - it’s award-winning. Be part of an award-winning SaaS business shaping the future of wholesale with AI-powered products including Fresho OrderPilot!
