🏢 About veritree

Veritree is a tech-driven verification platform specifically focused on tree planting initiatives, with the ambitious goal of planting 1 billion trees by 2030. Unlike generic SaaS companies, they combine environmental impact with technology, offering a unique opportunity to sell solutions that directly contribute to global reforestation and corporate sustainability goals.

About This Role

As a Commercial Account Executive at Veritree, you'll own the full sales cycle for SaaS deals in the $20K–$100K ACV range, targeting mid-market companies up to $250M in revenue. This role is impactful because you'll be directly driving revenue that funds tree planting verification technology, helping corporations achieve their ESG and sustainability objectives through a measurable environmental platform.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves prospecting mid-market companies through creative outbound strategies, managing inbound leads from sustainability-focused events, and multi-threading conversations across marketing, ESG, and executive stakeholders. You'll be maintaining pipeline in CRM systems, collaborating with cross-functional teams on handoffs, and working to close new logo business that directly funds tree planting verification technology.
