Account Executive (m/f/d) - Berlin (Hybrid)

About Cozero

Cozero is an enterprise carbon management platform helping manufacturers, logistics companies, and retailers turn scattered emissions data into business decisions, carbon accounting, reduction planning, and audit-ready ESG reporting in one place.

We’re not a reporting tool. We’re closer to an end-to-end climate operations platform: the difference between “we should track our emissions” and “we actively manage decarbonization as part of how we run the business.”

And we’re evolving fast. Our next chapter moves beyond carbon accounting into financial decision-making, connecting emissions data directly to cost savings and business transformation, with the CFO as the key stakeholder.

60+ enterprise customers. Series A funded. Growing.

For this role it is required to be fluent in German and English at C1 level.

About the Role

This is an Account Executive role for someone early in their sales career who wants to develop fast, in a high-expectation environment, working directly alongside the founders.

You’ll own opportunities across the full sales cycle: from discovery to close. That includes preparing and delivering compelling product demos to prospects. You don’t need to be an engineer, but you do need to be genuinely curious about how software works, comfortable getting into the details of our platform, and confident enough to make it come alive in front of a CFO or Sustainability Director.

Carbon accounting and climate tech are topics you’re either already familiar with, or ones you’re genuinely excited to learn. This space moves fast, and we need someone who can up skill quickly and speak credibly about what we do.
