About the role

Bolt Food's Stores vertical brings together everything beyond restaurants, including groceries, everyday essentials, beauty, electronics, and other retail categories. As part of our growing delivery platform, we're expanding our partnerships with leading retailers to make more products accessible to customers across Romania.

We're looking for an Enterprise Sales Manager to join our team in Bucharest and drive the acquisition of major grocery and retail chains across the Romanian market.

In this role, you'll own the end-to-end enterprise sales cycle, from identifying and engaging potential partners to leading complex negotiations and closing high-value, multi-location agreements. You'll build relationships with senior decision-makers, develop tailored commercial proposals, and demonstrate how partnering with Bolt Food can create long-term business value.

Beyond closing deals, you'll contribute to shaping our local sales strategy, identifying new market opportunities, and strengthening the processes that support the growth of our Stores business.

Main tasks and responsibilities:

• Own the full enterprise sales cycle, from prospecting and lead generation to commercial negotiations and closing partnerships with major grocery and retail chains across Romania.

• Identify and prioritise high-potential retail partners, developing structured acquisition strategies and business development plans for each target account.

• Build and maintain relationships with senior stakeholders and key decision-makers, navigating complex organisational structures and multi-stakeholder decision-making processes.

• Apply consultative and solution-selling techniques to understand prospective partners' business needs and develop compelling value propositions for joining Bolt Food.

• Prepare and present data-driven commercial proposals and business cases, demonstrating potential revenue opportunities, operational benefits, and long-term partnership value.

• Lead negotiations on complex commercial agreements, including commission structures, contractual terms, and multi-location partnership arrangements.

• Coordinate the onboarding and launch of newly signed partners, working closely with cross-functional teams to ensure operational readiness and a smooth transition to active trading.

• Own and manage your sales pipeline, forecast acquisition opportunities, and consistently deliver against commercial and revenue targets.

• Contribute to the development and improvement of local sales strategies, processes, and best practices to accelerate the growth of Bolt Food's Stores business.

About you:

• You have at least 5 years of experience in Enterprise Sales, Business Development, Key Account Management, Consulting, or a similar commercial role, ideally within grocery, retail, FMCG, e-commerce, marketplaces, or delivery.

• You have a proven track record of acquiring and negotiating partnerships with large, complex organisations, ideally national or international retail chains.

• You're experienced in managing long and complex sales cycles, engaging multiple stakeholders, and negotiating high-value commercial agreements with senior decision-makers.

• You have strong commercial and analytical skills, with the ability to interpret business data, build compelling business cases, and develop commercially sound proposals.

• You're skilled in consultative and solution selling, with the ability to identify partner needs, communicate value propositions, and influence decision-making.

• You're proactive, results-driven, and comfortable taking full ownership of your pipeline, commercial targets, and business development priorities.

• You thrive in fast-paced environments, work autonomously, and can translate strategic objectives into structured execution.

• You're fluent in Romanian and proficient in English, with excellent communication, presentation, and negotiation skills.
