We offer a fast-paced, innovative environment where you will be empowered to sell our AI-product to C-level executives.

Our proprietary data analytics engine is custom-designed for the logistics industry.

About the role:
We are seeking a sales process-driven, customer-centric, and results-oriented Sales Manager or Account Executive with a strong track record in B2B/enterprise sales. In this business-critical IC role, you will independently manage the sales cycle from SDR collaboration to closing, driving predictable sales growth and building a global customer pipeline.

What success looks like in this role:
• Consistently meet or exceed the company’s quarterly and annual sales goals through your ambitious approach in Sales
• A consistent and growing stream of clients opting for paid trials and subsequently becoming customers
• Our customer journey is frictionless and customers are promoters and advocates

What You’ll Do:
  • Develop and execute a strategic sales plan to expand our customer base and solidify our market presence, primarily focusing on acquiring new logos.
  • Lead end-to-end sales processes, from lead generation to closing SaaS contracts with senior executives in B2B companies.
  • Proactively hunt for new customers and nurture leads, leveraging personal network, proactive lead generation efforts, and market insights.
  • Drive pipeline growth by identifying and engaging potential clients as well as forecasting sales targets. 
  • Collaborating with marketing and product teams to refine sales assets and product offerings.
  • Work closely with Customer Success teams to ensure smooth handover of accounts after closing, facilitating a seamless transition for trial management and ongoing customer support.
  • Work closely with SDRs to maximize lead conversion and independently drive the sales cycle, adjusting strategies based on deal size and potential.
  • Provide regular updates on sales metrics, pipeline status, challenges, and support needs, while also offering insights for product improvements.

  • To thrive in this role, you must have:
  • A strong background in sales, ideally with experience in the logistics & shipping industry or related fields such as ocean freight or maritime sectors. LogTech experience is a plus.
  • Extensive experience in B2B SaaS sales with a consistent record of exceeding sales targets.
  • A process-oriented mindset, with the ability to qualify leads, manage pipelines, and work effectively with SDRs.
  • Curiosity about customer needs and product features, with a focus on digging deeper to understand client challenges and opportunities.
  • A self-starter approach with the ability to autonomously handle the full sales cycle from lead generation to closing.
  • Excellent presentation, negotiation, and deal-closing skills, with a proven ability to engage senior executives.
  • The capacity to work independently, troubleshoot issues, and involve leadership only when critical issues arise.
  • Join us at Portcast and be part of a high performing team that is shaping the future of the logistics and shipping industry through cutting-edge predictive analytics!
