• Represent the company at industry events, meetings, and networking opportunities to enhance market visibility.
• Possibility to build and manage a small commercial team in the future, supporting regional growth.

Candidate Profile:

• Minimum of 5 years experience in freight forwarding or logistics sales, with a strong background in air and ocean freight.
• Demonstrated success in business development and key account management.
• Strong interpersonal, negotiation, and presentation skills.
• Highly self-motivated, strategic, and results-driven.
• Fluent in both Italian and English, written and spoken.
• Willingness to travel within North and North-East Italy.
• Comfortable working in a hybrid, flexible environment.
