Salesperson

Are you a natural-born merchant with a natural curiosity to learn about our customers' businesses? Do you have a passion for solution selling and are driven to deliver results both independently and in collaboration with your colleagues? Then you could become part of Odense Port's commercial team, where from day one you will feel our enthusiasm for what we do.

We are looking for an ambitious, outgoing and energetic salesperson who thrives on being out with customers and can close orders. You have the ability to create commercial solutions for our customers and results for Odense Port.

Odense Port is a people-centric port, where relationships and collaboration are part of the foundation for our growth. It’s about people – both those we work with and those we work for. We are Denmark's largest port, with a total area of 8.5 million square metres, and we strategically focus on growth within our four business areas and offer our customers unique solutions, products and facilities. Our growth curve is steep, and we need you to help us reach our ambitious goals in the future.

Responsibilities

As a salesperson at Odense Port you will play a central role in developing our customer portfolio and driving growth. You must be able to drive your own sales independently – both to new and existing customers within the business areas: Offshore wind, Maritime industry, Recycling & Decommissioning, as well as Innovation & Test, where your primary task is to be as out with customers as possible.

Our approach to sales and commercial progression is very ambitious, and your daily life will reflect that.

Your tasks also include

• Customer visits and participation in trade shows both domestically and internationally. The primary travel activity will be in Denmark and Northern Europe.
• Acquisition of new customers through canvassing, new sales and development of new customer relationships
• Care of existing customers through upselling and development of customer relationships
• Proactively promoting our value proposition and ensuring that customers make strategic decisions to place their business at Odense Port

Your skills and experience

To succeed in this role you are someone who

• Has experience with proactive B2B sales, including international sales
• Finds it easy to build relationships and can collaborate across the organisation
• Is a self-starter – you do not wait for others to set things in motion for you
• Has a natural curiosity to understand the customer’s needs and understands the importance of merchant-like conduct.
• Has a relevant theoretical education
• Can operate professionally at multiple levels, both in Danish and English
• Has a driving licence and a clean criminal record.

It is advantageous if you have experience from the port industry, transport industry, offshore wind or the maritime industry, but it is not a requirement, as we will of course provide good onboarding.

You can identify with our values

• Merchant mindset – we make good business
• Accountability - what is worth doing is worth doing well
• Pioneering spirit – will and desire are the driving forces

At Odense Port you will be part of a dynamic and ambitious workplace where you have the opportunity to develop professionally and personally. You will become part of an informal organisation with about 85 capable and engaged colleagues who work closely together to deliver results.
