This is not a typical sales role; you will be the "CEO of Chicago Market," responsible for securing large-scale restaurant partnerships and building a world-class local team from the ground up. Your deep understanding of the Chicago F&B landscape (from West Loop hotspots to major suburban franchises) and your ability to scale operations through leadership will be the keys to success.

Requirements & Competencies * Chicago Market Expertise: 5+ years of experience in the Chicago F&B or hospitality tech industry. You should know who the decision-makers are at the city's top 50 restaurant groups. * Leadership Track Record: Proven experience in building and managing sales or operations teams (at least 3-5 direct reports). * Strategic Selling: Expert-level ability to navigate complex, multi-stakeholder deals with franchise owners and corporate executives. * Local Network: An active portfolio of contacts within the Chicago hospitality scene is a mandatory requirement. * Operational Grit: Experience in hardware/IoT or delivery-tech (e.g., Toast, Grubhub, UberEats, Coca-Cola) is highly preferred. If you are a leader who knows every major restaurant owner in Chicago and is ready to dominate the market with a cutting-edge IoT solution, we want to talk to you.
