Strategic Account Executive – Enterprise Sales

About Red Cloud

The global supply chain is broken—creating a $2 trillion inventory gap where essential consumer goods fail to reach the people who need them. Brands miss sales, distributors mismanage stock, and retailers face empty shelves. The result? Higher prices, slower growth, and lost opportunity across the board.

The Strategic Account Executive is responsible for driving revenue growth by owning, developing, and closing high-value enterprise opportunities with FMCG brands and key distributors in our key markets. This is a quota‑carrying role focused on both new business acquisition and expansion within strategic accounts, operating across complex, multi‑stakeholder environments. You will act as the primary commercial owner of strategic accounts, working closely with product, solutions, and delivery teams to position Red Cloud’s AI‑driven platform as a critical enabler of enterprise performance.
