Build and grow your own market within the European flower trade while working with buyers and growers across multiple continents.
About the Role
At Florazu, we are looking for a B2B Account Manager to help expand our presence in Turkey and develop the market from scratch. This is a remote, freelance position based in Turkey, where you will be responsible for establishing and growing Florazu’s presence locally.
In this role, you will develop relationships with wholesale buyers, identify commercial opportunities, and manage the full sales cycle—from market prospecting to closing deals, sourcing products, and leading strategic account management. You will actively drive new business through direct outreach, networking, and relationship development, building your own portfolio of clients in the country. The flower trade is a fast-paced environment where commercial judgment, negotiation skills, and strong relationships are key to success.
The role begins with an initial onboarding and training period in close collaboration with the team in Barcelona (remote or on-site). Following this, you will independently manage your market and client relationships from Turkey
