Senior (Enterprise) Account Executive 2026
SENIOR ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE
London, UK
ABOUT US
The world’s most pressing problem requires the world’s best talent to fix it, and here at CarbonChain we’re bringing together a superstar team to tackle decarbonization head on. We’re lean, scrappy and determined to make a massive impact by helping the world’s biggest emitters drive commercial wins by reducing their emissions. We see the climate challenge as a transformative opportunity for the global economy, and a rewarding career opportunity for those willing to take on the challenge in a rapidly growing market.
OUR PEOPLE
CarbonChain’s people are passionate about solving huge challenges, are driven by personal and mutual success, and take extreme ownership for their individual part of getting us to world-changing results. We live and breathe our values every day, and pride ourselves on creating a positive, inclusive and world-class environment for our talent to develop. We have MBAs and PhDs, and experience from various backgrounds leading huge initiatives. Our company includes individuals from some of the world’s best companies and scale-ups, but we know that there’s a lot we don’t know, and we’re hoping you can help fill that gap.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Reporting directly to the Head of Sales, Account Executives at CarbonChain are “CEOs of their own businesses”, given the responsibility to develop their territory including building a plan and executing on that. They will work alongside Business Development & Marketing to design and implement a Pipeline Generation Plan, and will seek to close ARR on a predictable, efficient and scalable basis. They will also be part of our founding commercial team, so we expect this person to be driven both by personal results and invigorated by the idea of contributing to the foundation of the business, helping us iterate our strategy.
This position is for someone who can handle an ambiguous and rapidly changing environment, ramp up very fast on the technology and the climate regulatory market, and help direct the company’s efforts given your regular contact with prospects & customers.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
