Senior Account Executive

Description

Help build the commercial engine behind the world’s nature-positive transition.

You’ll translate complex scientific and analytical concepts into compelling commercial narratives — guiding senior stakeholders through impact measurement, ecosystem services, supply-chain risk, mitigation strategies, and regulatory pressures such as TNFD and CSRD.

This is not a script-based sales role. You will shape our go-to-market motion, elevate our sales playbook, and drive our expansion into key European markets.

• Represent Natcap at key industry events, growing both brand and pipeline.
• Act as the voice of the customer, influencing our product roadmap and identifying market-wide technical gaps.
• Run deep technical discovery and collaborate with Science, Product, Delivery and Engineering to turn methodology into actionable executive-level narratives.
• Maintain rigorous sales process discipline, CRM accuracy and forecasting.
• Own the full sales lifecycle, from targeted outbound to contract signature — consistently exceeding targets.
• Serve as a subject-matter expert across nature risk assessment, impact modelling, ecosystem services, supply chains, and mitigation workflows.

Requirements

We’re looking for a commercially exceptional, highly technical operator who can autonomously run full sales cycles and act as a trusted expert on nature risk and strategy.

At Natcap, our mission is to integrate nature intelligence into business decision-making, helping global companies understand and act on their nature impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities.

We are now hiring what may be one of our most critical hires: a Senior Account Executive who combines deep technical acumen with exceptional sales execution. This role reports directly to the Head of Commercial and works closely with our CEO.

• Strong domain understanding in at least one of: nature, biodiversity, climate, environmental modelling, R&D-intensive fields.
• Established portfolio of contacts at corporates across a number of industries (e.g., food and beverage, retail, fashion, and financial services)
• Experience in high-growth or nascent-market environments.
• Experience with additional markets (e.g. APAC, MENA)
• Proficiency in a European language (e.g. French, German..)
• Strong communicator able to distil technical depth into clarity.
• 10+ years in sustainability related consulting and/or 10+ years of experience in Enterprise sales, ideally a high-growth business combining software and advisory services.
• Ability to act autonomously, using intuition to move fast, solve problems, and help build our commercial function from the ground up.
• A proven track record of closing complex, technical enterprise deals with quantifiable success.
• Established European network (UK, FR, DE, NL, Nordics).

Benefits

• Rapid personal and professional growth.
• Competitive compensation + equity.
• Comfortable working 4 days per week in our Farringdon office.
• Dedicated L&D budget, wellness benefits, and enhanced leave policies.
