Account Executive

Would you love to showcase your experience, sales talent, and plain ingenuity in introducing data & AI solutions? Do you have what it takes to convince European top-tier retail executives and seal the deal?

At Crunch Analytics, we focus on helping teams at European retail & consumer goods organizations, such as G-Star, Torfs, Van de Velde, Unilin, and Roompot, to advance their teams with confidence when applying data science, statistics, machine learning, and AI.

We introduce data & AI-driven solutions that fundamentally change how these organizations create value. On top of that, we have developed our own AI-powered fashion retail SaaS platform to help fashion teams make smarter pricing & inventory decisions.

As an Account Executive, your key responsibility is to introduce our set of services to business and analytics leaders, primarily in retail organizations. Your goal is to help them understand how our services will create demonstrable value. In your role, you will be able to identify and map industry stakeholders, build relationships, deliver high-quality presentations and workshops, and carve out the specifics of an often complex deal.

To this extent, we are looking for a highly motivated account executive who can convince using a consultative selling approach - identifying value & ROI - yet is also capable of bringing stakeholders to the table and sealing the deal, applying experience, trust, and a good bit of boldness.
