at Choco

🏢 About Choco

Choco is a mission-driven startup tackling food waste and inefficiency in the restaurant supply chain. With a remote-first culture and strong sustainability focus, it offers the chance to work on a product that directly reduces environmental impact while modernizing a traditional industry.

About This Role

As a Senior Solutions Consultant, you bridge sales and technical teams, leading discovery, demos, and solution design for enterprise customers. Your work directly shapes how restaurants and suppliers digitize their supply chain, making you a key driver of revenue and customer success.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve a morning discovery call with a potential enterprise client, followed by an afternoon designing a solution architecture with APIs and ERP integrations. You'll also review an RFP document, collaborate with Account Executives on deal strategy, and provide feedback to the Product team based on customer insights.

🎯 Who Choco Is Looking For

  • 5+ years in Solutions Consulting or similar customer-facing technical role in B2B SaaS, with a track record of supporting complex enterprise sales cycles.
  • Strong consultative discovery and stakeholder management skills, able to engage both C-level executives and technical teams.
  • Hands-on experience with integrations, APIs, ERP systems, and data exchange concepts, plus ability to translate technical complexity into business value.
  • Passionate about sustainability and reducing food waste, with the ability to connect Choco's mission to customer pain points.

📝 Tips for Applying to Choco

1

Tailor your resume to highlight enterprise sales support and integration projects, using specific metrics (e.g., deal size, win rate, time saved).

2

In your cover letter, explicitly mention your experience with APIs and ERP systems, and how you've used them to design solutions for complex supply chain challenges.

3

Research Choco's product and competitors (e.g., BlueCart, MarketMan) to demonstrate understanding of the food supply chain landscape.

4

Prepare a brief case study of a past enterprise deal where you led discovery, built a business case, and managed technical validation (RFP, security review).

5

Highlight any experience with sustainability or food waste reduction in previous roles, even if tangential, to show cultural alignment.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

3 How would you handle a stakeholder who is skeptical about moving from legacy systems to a cloud-based platform?
