About Growcer
Growcer builds the infrastructure for food sovereignty. We're the world leader in modular container farms, with over 900 projects worldwide. We provide communities, Indigenous nations, schools, hospitals, and institutions across North America with the tools, training, and support to grow food locally, 365 days a year. We don't just sell container farms; we help communities go from dependence to self-reliance, one harvest at a time.
Growcer is entering its next phase of growth and scaling across North America. Effective Growcer employees are tenacious, enjoy a fast-paced environment, and are comfortable working on big-picture challenges with lots of autonomy.
If you want your work to be visible, your impact to be direct, and your mission to be one you'd be proud to explain at a dinner party, you'll feel right at home.
Position Summary
The Senior Account Executive is a quota-carrying closer. You find, run and sign container farm deals with First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities and Tribal Nations across Canada and the USA. You report to the Director of Sales & Community Relations.
You own your number. You'll work alongside Business Development, who open early conversations and prepare communities, and our Funding Strategy team, who match each project to the right grants and financing options.
This is a relationship and closing role. If you've sold heavy equipment, construction, health services or infrastructure to buyers with many decision-makers, and have worked with communities, you'll recognize the job. Deals are $200K to $1.5M+, involve Chief and Council, health, education and economic development leads, and typically take 18 to 24 months or longer. They're won through discovery, persistence and showing up.

First 30 days: learn the offer, our clients and our sales process alongside our team; join live discovery and council meetings.
By 90 days: own a book of roughly 20 inherited opportunities, with clean next steps and close dates in HubSpot.
By 180 days: have built roughly 20 new, sourced qualified opportunities and be driving your first deals to signature.
