(Senior) Account Executive (m/f/d)

We are TradeLink. Changemakers for the world's backbone of global trade - the supply chain.

TradeLink is our answer to our initial question of what the most exciting company in the world would look like. We are building the collaboration layer for one of the largest, most fragmented and physically complex industries in the world and we are reinventing what B2B software looks like along the way together with people who simply love what they do.

In the past 6 months, we ignited the network and grew x-fold on all exciting metrics (people, usage, partners) and recently closed our 12mn Series A led by Insight Partners and our existing investors Point Nine and Fly Ventures.
