We’re building a SaaS tool that enables companies in highly polluting industries to track their supply chain carbon emissions so they can mitigate risks from incoming carbon taxes and government penalties.
London, UK
The world’s most pressing problem requires the world’s best talent to fix it, and here at CarbonChain we’re bringing together a superstar team to tackle decarbonization head on. We’re lean, scrappy and determined to make a massive impact by helping the world’s biggest emitters drive commercial wins by reducing their emissions. We see the climate challenge as a transformative opportunity for the global economy, and a rewarding career opportunity for those willing to take on the challenge in a rapidly growing market.
Our People
CarbonChain’s people are passionate about solving huge challenges, are driven by personal and mutual success, and take extreme ownership for their individual part of getting us to world-changing results. We live and breathe our values every day, and pride ourselves on creating a positive, inclusive and world-class environment for our talent to develop. We’ve got MBAs and PhDs, and experience leading huge initiatives and teams at some of the world’s best companies and scale-ups, but we know that there’s a lot we don’t know, and we’re hoping you can help fill that gap.
Key Responsibilities
Reporting directly to the Head of Sales, Senior Account Executives at CarbonChain are “CEOs of their own businesses”, given the responsibility to develop their territory including building a plan and executing on that. They will work alongside Business Development & Marketing to design and implement a Pipeline Generation Plan, and will seek to close ARR on a predictable, efficient and scalable basis with the world’s biggest companies. They will also be part of our founding commercial team, so we expect this person to be driven both by personal results and also invigorated by the idea of contributing to the foundation of the business, helping us iterate on strategy, and one day leading their own part of CarbonChain.
This position is for someone who has the ability to handle an ambiguous and rapidly changing environment, ramp up very fast on the technology and the climate regulation market, and help direct the company’s efforts given your regular contact with prospects & customers. They crucially need to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations and thrive on making great decisions quickly.
We need a driven Senior Account Executive who has a track record of smashing their quota for 6+ years, and has had the experience of working in a fast paced start-up. They should be a PG wizard, constantly over exceeding outbound PG goals, and they should have excellent sales fundamentals (which we’ll help you build on!). Finally, as they will be selling new-age technology to traditional buyers, they must have excellent Executive Presence & gravitas when presenting. Experience in the sustainability/climate tech industry is a plus, but not required.
Specific responsibilities include:
Quota achievement against your ARR target (>$1M ARR)
