Background

We are currently looking for a self-driven, motivated, and active Account Manager (field sales) for our district in Norr- & Västerbotten, focusing on the local market in and around Skellefteå. You will be responsible for selling/offering DB Schenker's product and service range with a focus on land transport. We believe in growth in the region, and you will have an office location in a newly built terminal in Skellefteå, but preferably, you will be out visiting our new customers.

Are you the one we are looking for?

You have a strong focus on new customer acquisition and contribute to increased sales by establishing new business relationships. As an Account Manager, you are also responsible for developing our existing customers by ensuring their transport needs and their strategic development needs.

• You must be well-versed in our customer's operations and their industry affiliation as a whole.
• Your work is carried out through targeted activities, negotiations, and renegotiations with our customers.
• You are also responsible for implementing activity plans, business plans, and for continuously working according to set goals and guidelines.

Qualifications

We take pride in the positive culture we have within our team, where collaboration, camaraderie, and shared success are some of the forces that make us successful. To succeed in the role, you need to be motivated by goal and result management and have a lot of personal responsibility, but we also place great importance on your personal qualities and highly value engagement and individuals who believe in the power of teamwork. For this position, it is especially important that you are reliable, engaged, and comfortable being without direct colleagues on-site as you will be one of the few placed in Skellefteå. Your closest sales colleagues are stationed in Luleå and Umeå, and the district's management group, including your immediate manager, is based in Umeå.

What are we looking for?

• You have experience in successful service sales both through face-to-face meetings and digital channels.
• You speak and write Swedish and English well.
• You have good computer skills (you can use Excel and PowerPoint, and if you have experience with CRM systems, it is an advantage).
