Work closely with the wider Automotive and Manufacturing teams to share best practices and co-create industry-relevant solutions.
What we’re looking for:
Proven success in enterprise SaaS sales, with 5+ years of experience managing and closing large, complex deals.
Deep understanding of the Swedish automotive sector – including OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and/or mobility providers.
Experience navigating complex organizations and building strong relationships at all levels, especially within executive leadership.
A consistent track record of exceeding quota in a fast-paced, competitive environment.
Strong communication, storytelling, and consultative selling skills.
Fluent in Swedish and English. Right to work in Sweden.
