- Value-Based Selling: Lead the sales strategy by demonstrating the tangible ROI and value of IoT solutions for maritime customers, articulating complex concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Sales Strategy & Planning: Develop and execute a go-to-market strategy for penetrating large maritime accounts, including account-based selling tactics and potential partnership development.
- Market Intelligence & Customer Insights: Act as the voice of the customer, providing feedback to product management and leadership on emerging customer needs, market trends, and competitive threats.
- Collaborative Leadership: Work closely with product, marketing, and pre-sales engineering teams to refine offerings, ensure a smooth handoff, and support customer success.
- Reporting & Forecasting: Provide accurate and timely sales forecasts, pipeline reports, and account insights to the executive team.
Who You Are
You’re a strategic thinker with a knack for sales excellence, ready to tackle multiple priorities with agility and grace. If you have:
- Education: Bachelor’s or master’s degree in business, Supply Chain, Engineering or a related field; MBA preferred.
- Experience: 10+ years in B2B sales with a track record of closing large deals, ideally in software services with focus on supply chain visibility, or a related technology sector.
- Domain knowledge: Deep understanding of maritime and supply chain dynamics, with experience selling to shipping lines or large logistics companies.
- Hunter Mentality: Proven experience as a “hunter” who excels at identifying new business opportunities, building relationships from scratch, and closing complex, high-value deals
- Value Selling Expertise: Demonstrated success in consultative, value-based selling of software and services, with the ability to clearly communicate the ROI and business impact of solutions.
- Leadership: Strong leadership and motivational skills, with experience building and leading sales teams in a high-growth environment.
- Analytical & Strategic Thinking: Ability to analyze market trends, competitor activities, and customer feedback to inform sales strategy and decision-making.
Nice-to-have Skills
- Global Sales Experience: Familiarity with the complexities of selling to international clients and navigating multi-national shipping lines' decision-making processes.
- Technical Knowledge of IoT and Networking Technologies: A solid understanding of IoT technologies, hardware infrastructure, network protocols (e.g., GSM, LoRa, 5G, satellite communications), and data analytics tools commonly used in maritime logistics.
