About the Role

We're looking for an experienced, highly motivated, and strategic Account Executive to accelerate VTEX's growth in the US and Canada B2B commerce market.

In this role, you will be responsible for managing and closing qualified enterprise sales opportunities with manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and other organizations looking to modernize their B2B commerce operations.

Beyond closing deals, you will play a key role in expanding VTEX's presence in the US and Canada B2B commerce market by developing strategic customer relationships, maximizing opportunity conversion, and contributing insights that help strengthen our go-to-market strategy.
