About the Role

In the role of Customer Service & Sales, you will work broadly within Eimskip’s liner shipping services, focusing on bookings, customer service, and price inquiries related to international transport. You will become a key part of a seven-person team responsible for creating efficient and high-quality transport solutions for both national and international customers. The role combines freight forwarding, order handling, inside sales, and pricing, meaning you will work both administratively and closely with business operations in daily activities.

Your responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Registering and coordinating bookings for sea transport as well as land-based final delivery transports.
• Daily contact with customers, suppliers, and international colleagues.
• Handling price inquiries and developing transport solutions based on specific customer needs.
• Following up on deliveries and resolving any transport-related issues.
• Working with various types of cargo, such as general cargo, containers, temperature-controlled goods, and dangerous goods.
• Contributing to the improvement of processes and workflows in the company’s new business system and CRM environments.
• Building on existing customer relationships and, in the long term, identifying new business opportunities.
• Receiving a comprehensive induction where the team, team leader, and your direct manager support you in gradually growing into the role.

About You

We are looking for someone with at least one year of experience in sea transport, although experience from other parts of the forwarding industry is also considered an asset. You thrive in a role with many touchpoints and varied tasks that combine service with administration, and you have an interest in business and customer relations. As a person, you are service-minded, not afraid of a fast pace, and comfortable contacting both external and internal stakeholders via phone. Being able to communicate fluently in Swedish and English, both verbally and in writing, is essential as you work in an international environment. We also believe you have an interest in new system support and are curious to learn more about AI-related functions within the profession.

To succeed in this role, we believe you:

• Have at least one year of experience in forwarding or international sea freight transport.
• Have experience in customer contact and administration within logistics and transport.
• Speak and write fluently in Swedish and English.
• Are communicative, solution-oriented, and service-focused.
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment and can handle multiple tasks in parallel.
• Are driven yet humble and enjoy collaborating in a team.
• Have an interest in digital development and preferably new technology or AI support in work processes.

It is an advantage if you have experience with export customs clearance or have previously worked in a role involving inside sales or customer service within logistics. Great emphasis will be placed on personality, specifically that you are driven yet humble in your approach to work.
