About us

Driiveme is the platform that moves vehicles for rental companies, dealerships, carmakers and fleets

through a network of freelance drivers. In Italy we are building our sales organisation and we are

looking for the leader who will head it.

The role

You will lead Driiveme's commercial growth in Italy in the automotive world: new clients, framework

agreements and partnerships with players across the value chain, working closely with the Country

Manager. You will bring your network in the sector and make Driiveme the go-to partner for anyone

who moves vehicles.

What you will do

• Define the growth strategy across key segments: rental, dealerships, OEMs and captives, remarketing, corporate fleets.

• Open and close accounts and framework agreements with decision makers at groups, networks and national operators.

• Build partnerships and channels (dealer networks, brokers, remarketing platforms, rental companies) that generate recurring volumes.

• Own pricing, terms and margin by client and by route, reading the P&L to decide where to grow.

• Build and lead the sales team.

• Introduce CRM, data, automation and AI tools into the sales process: lead qualification, quoting, follow-up, pipeline forecasting. The goal is to grow without costs growing in proportion.

• Work hand in hand with the operations department, so that every new contract can be delivered with quality and without overloading the organisation.

What we are looking for

• At least [8–10] years of B2B sales in automotive or mobility (carmakers, captive finance, rental, dealer groups, remarketing, vehicle logistics), with direct responsibility for targets and P&L.

• An active network of relationships with decision makers in the sector, which you know how to turn into contracts.

• Proven results: new accounts, framework agreements, growth in volumes and margins.

• Experience building or restructuring a sales team and sales processes.

• Business acumen: the ability to set prices and terms that protect margin.

• A data- and automation-minded approach: you have already introduced or led the adoption of advanced CRMs, automated workflows or AI tools in sales, or you know how to do so together with developers, defining what to automate and measuring the effect.

• The ability to negotiate and influence at management level, with clients and with the parent company.

• Native Italian; Spanish or English is useful for working with the parent company.

What we offer

• Permanent, full-time contract, with variable pay tied to new clients, volumes and margin.

• Real decision-making weight in a lean organisation.

• The chance to design the sales department, the sales method and the tech stack.
