Account Executive, Enterprise Sales
TLDR
Build enterprise manufacturing pipelines across Europe, guide complex stakeholder sales cycles, and shape new tools, campaigns, and processes.
At Poka, we're changing how the world's industrial teams work — capturing the knowledge of their best people and putting it in every operator's hands.
Our connected worker platform is purpose-built for manufacturing and the wider industrial world, with industrial AI inside the shift, not on top of it. The result: frontline performance that becomes compounding knowledge and measurable impact — every shift, every site, every region.
We're proud to support global leaders like Nestlé, Bosch, Mars, and Danone across 3,000+ sites in 70+ countries. And as a fast-growing part of the IFS family, you'll join a team whose daily work directly shapes the platform behind how modern manufacturing gets done.
