About the role
At Klim, we’re building the infrastructure to scale regenerative agriculture across global supply chains. We work with leading food and agriculture companies to design and implement large-scale transition programs that create measurable impact for farmers, businesses, and the climate.
We are looking for an exceptional Enterprise Account Executive to lead strategic new business development with some of the most influential companies in the agri-food sector.
This is a highly consultative, high-impact commercial role. You will engage senior stakeholders across procurement, sustainability, sourcing, and executive leadership to shape ambitious regenerative agriculture programs and turn them into long-term partnerships.
If you thrive in complex enterprise sales, enjoy creating momentum in emerging markets, and want to help transform global agriculture, we’d love to hear from you.
Your mission:
Help shape the future of agriculture by building strategic partnerships that make regenerative farming scalable, impactful, and commercially viable across global supply chains.
Your responsibilities:
Own strategic enterprise sales
Lead complex new business opportunities end-to-end: from outbound prospecting and account strategy to negotiation and signed partnership agreements
Build and manage a high-quality pipeline of strategic enterprise accounts across the agri-food value chain
Navigate multi-stakeholder buying environments with senior decision-makers across sustainability, procurement, sourcing, operations, and leadership teams
Drive commercial outcomes while balancing long-term strategic partnership development
Shape transformative customer programs
Work closely with customers to understand their business priorities, supply chain realities, and sustainability ambitions
Co-develop tailored regenerative agriculture and insetting solutions that create measurable business and environmental value
Collaborate cross-functionally with product, R&D, and farmer success teams to design scalable customer programs
Act as a trusted advisor
Build credibility with senior stakeholders by understanding industry dynamics, commercial pressures, and evolving sustainability requirements
Bring insights on regenerative agriculture, Scope 3, supply chain resilience, and emerging market trends into customer conversations
Help customers navigate ambiguity and translate sustainability ambition into executable programs
Contribute to commercial excellence
Improve sales processes, account planning, and go-to-market approaches as we scale
Maintain strong pipeline hygiene and forecasting discipline in CRM systems
Share market insights and customer feedback to inform company strategy and product development
Your profile:
Enterprise sales experience
3+ years of experience in enterprise sales, strategic account management, or business development
Proven track record of winning and expanding complex B2B accounts with large enterprises
Experience managing long sales cycles and multi-stakeholder decision processes
Strong commercial mindset
You are proactive, resourceful, and comfortable creating opportunities in emerging or evolving markets
You combine strategic thinking with execution and strong ownership mentality
You are an excellent communicator and negotiator, able to engage credibly with senior executives
Industry understanding
Experience in agriculture, food systems, sustainability, climate tech, supply chains, commodities, or adjacent sectors is highly valuable
Familiarity with regenerative agriculture, Scope 3, insetting, or sustainability transformation is a strong plus — but curiosity and learning agility matter just as much

You know how to uncover customer pain points, challenge assumptions constructively, and build value-based business cases
You are comfortable navigating ambiguity and helping customers define solutions collaboratively
You enjoy working cross-functionally in fast-moving environments
