The company serves the $105B+ U.S. local restaurant market, helping restaurants own their digital and delivery operations end-to-end. As a Field Account Executive, you will own the complete sales cycle from initial prospecting through closing. You will spend your days in the field building face-to-face relationships with restaurant owners and operators in assigned NYC territories.
