Account Executive

Regional Account Executive

At Botrista, we are revolutionizing beverage culture with intuitive, nature-guided drink-making technology. By empowering restaurants and establishments to expand their menus without added complexity, we are driving growth and innovation at the touch of a button. Awarded as one of the Best California Startups in 2023, our solutions create a new industry category, applicable to any cuisine, demographic, and business. With rapid deployment of our machines nationwide, we are delivering extraordinary beverage experiences to customers everywhere.

We are hiring a territory-based Regional Account Executive to drive new customer acquisition across restaurants and higher education within a defined region. This is a primarily inside sales role (approximately 75% of leads inbound), with strategic field travel (approximately 25%) for high-value meetings, site qualification, and deal advancement. You will be responsible for sourcing, qualifying, and closing new business. This role does not own post-sale account management, as our dedicated Account Management team is responsible for that.

If you thrive in a high-activity environment, enjoy building pipeline, and want ownership of a defined territory with meaningful revenue targets, this role is for you.
