Enterprise Sales Executive – Critical Risk & Fatality Prevention (Italy)

Enterprise Sales Executive – Critical Risk & Fatality Prevention (Italy)

We are not selling software. We are helping save lives.

At Forwood, we partner with some of the world’s largest high-risk and operational industries to help prevent fatalities through a proven approach to critical risk management. Our platform is used where it matters most, helping teams identify, understand and control critical risks before incidents occur.

We are looking for an Enterprise Sales Executive to help grow our presence across Italy. This role will suit someone who combines commercial drive with real credibility in high-risk environments, and who wants to build something meaningful in a market with strong potential.

What makes this role different

This is not a transactional sales role.

You will be:

Building Forwood’s presence across Italy

Engaging senior leaders in high-risk and operational industries such as construction, energy, manufacturing, infrastructure, transport and other safety-critical environments

Helping clients think differently about safety and fatality prevention

Translating complex concepts into compelling, real-world outcomes

Selling a platform that requires both strong commercial capability and the ability to build contextual understanding

You do not need to come in as a fatality prevention expert, but you do need strong curiosity, sound judgement and the drive to build deep credibility in a complex and meaningful domain.

What you will do

Lead growth across Italy

Build relationships with executive level decision-makers and operational leaders in high-risk and operational industries

Identify, open and progress new opportunities with focus and persistence

Act as a credible and commercially-minded voice in conversations around safety, risk and operational improvement

Tell compelling stories that connect risk, behaviour and outcomes

Work closely with product and delivery teams to shape solutions for complex client environments

Operate effectively in a global remote business and across time zones when needed

What we are looking for

Strong exposure to high-risk and operational industries through sales, operations, safety, engineering, consulting or other relevant roles

Good understanding of the safety realities of complex industrial or field-based environments

Commercial drive and the ability to create momentum, open doors and move opportunities forward

Confidence engaging senior stakeholders and building trust across both executive and operational audiences

Ability to quickly learn and communicate complex subject matter in a clear and credible way

A proactive, resourceful approach and comfort working with a high level of autonomy

Fluency in Italian and English

Willingness to travel within Italy and across the region as needed

Flexibility to work in a global remote team, including some regular meetings outside standard local business hours

Experience in enterprise SaaS sales will be advantageous

What will set you apart

Experience in industries such as construction, energy, utilities, infrastructure, transport, manufacturing, mining or industrial operations

Exposure to safety, critical risk, compliance or operational performance environments

Ability to bridge technical, operational and commercial conversations

Experience building a market, territory or strategic customer base with a high level of ownership

Additional European language capability

What you can expect

A steep but rewarding learning curve

A mission-driven environment where your work has real impact

A financially attractive base salary, uncapped commission earnings and the opportunity to be well rewarded for strong performance

A global remote team with high standards and high trust

The opportunity to grow into a trusted expert in a complex and meaningful domain

The chance to help shape Forwood’s growth in Italy

If you are looking for a straightforward transactional sales role, this is not it.

If you are looking for a role where you can build, influence and make a meaningful difference, this could be a strong fit.
