• Run effective discovery: deeply understand customer needs and how the company can solve them.

• Build long-term partnerships: manage and grow the customers you land, identifying upsell and cross-sell opportunities.

• Lead business reviews with key customers to align on performance, future needs, and expansion potential.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Operations, Finance and Product to ensure a seamless and positive customer experience.

REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• 3+ years of experience in B2B sales / logistics operations- you've landed new customers against clear quotas or managed operations with existing accounts

• Fluent in German and English, and based in Germany: ideally in Thuringia/North Bavaria or Brandenburg/Western Saxony

• Confident owning the full sales cycle: from outreach to close and into account expansion

• Strong commercial mindset and relationship-building skills
