Why a CV for this job?
- They see what they asked for, first. Your experience that matches the ad leads, in the ad's own words, so someone skimming finds it in seconds.
- It gets past the software. Many larger employers use software that ranks CVs by how closely they match the ad, often before anyone reads them.
- In the language of the ad. An ad written in Spanish gets a CV in Spanish, even when yours is in Portuguese.
- Your facts, nothing invented. Your own experience, reordered and reworded. What the ad wants and your CV does not show is listed for you to add, only if it is true. You check it before you send it.

You’ll grow existing client relationships through renewals, upsells and cross-sells, and bring new clients on board.

- Keep customer and sales information accurate in our internal CRM
- Work alongside internal teams, including pre-sales and research, to engage existing and new users
- Bring drive, team spirit, the ability to multi-task and a solutions-focused approach to the wider Sales team
What We’re Looking For
- Around 3-6 years’ experience in a sales role (exposure to the maritime market is a strong plus)
- Experience selling solutions into logistics or automotive, ideally within maritime, or selling B2B SaaS or data solutions
- Knowledge of the shipping, maritime and/or container sectors, and contacts within the maritime community
- Good English and strong presentation skills, with an excellent ability to persuade and build rapport with prospects and clients
- A proactive “hunter” mentality with a strategic mindset
