About Sauce
Sauce is helping independent restaurants win by giving them more control over delivery, customer relationships, and profitability. We help restaurants reduce third-party marketplace costs, increase direct orders, and grow revenue through technology.
The Role
We're hiring an Account Executive, Strategic Accounts / Regional Chains to bring Sauce to multi-unit restaurant groups and the best-known, highest-volume restaurant brands in New York City, the Northeast and Greater Miami. You will own the full cycle: opening doors with owners and executives, running complex multi-stakeholder deals, and making sure every location you sign goes live and performs.
This role is for someone who already knows the operators. You will leverage existing relationships from day one, sign new groups fast, and build Sauce's strategic accounts motion alongside our Head of Sales. There is no zip-code territory and no door-to-door: your market is wherever the best restaurants are.

Expand accounts after launch: additional locations, and Sauce Direct into BYOC groups
