Job description

Our mission is to make enterprise procurement effortless.

Technology is one of the biggest line items in any enterprise budget, yet buying it still means months of back-and-forth across Finance, Legal and IT. Vertice is the AI procurement platform changing that. Our agentic workflows, autonomous negotiation agents, and expert buyers help finance and procurement teams in 100+ countries buy smarter and save money. Customers including ARM, Brex and Santander rely on us, and with over $75bn in spend processed, we consistently deliver 20%+ savings while cutting procurement cycles in half. The market momentum has been unprecedented, and in 2026 we were named #1 in B2B software and third overall in the Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50.

We were founded by Roy and Eldar Tuvey, serial entrepreneurs who have already built and exited two category‑defining companies, and we’re backed by $100M+ from investors including Bessemer Venture Partners.

We’re a team that values candor and moves fast. Every permanent employee holds equity, so you share directly in what we build. If you’re looking for a steady job, we’re probably not the right fit. If you want to do the best work of your career, we’d love to talk.

• Work closely with partners to drive new business
• Communicate feedback from the field to the Product team to make sure that Vertice remains at the forefront of innovation
• Attendance to events and various networking opportunities
• Flexibility - things change around here. Fast.

• 4+ years experience in an Account Executive Role selling SaaS products
• Native Level French and English Speaker.

• Years of experience hitting and exceeding targets
• Strong relationship and rapport building skills, you’ll be interacting with a large population of merchants and you’ll need to quickly and consistently deliver an outstanding service, gaining trust and drive results.

• You are tech savvy, extremely customer service oriented, professional, resourceful, and have the patience and the ability to tactfully handle customer inquiries and negotiations.
