Do you have a hunter mindset when it comes to new business sales?

Are you experienced in selling complex technology solutions into the transportation sector?

Do you thrive in a high-growth, collaborative, and culture-first environment?

Oliver Sanderson is engaged with a technology company seeking a New Business Sales Executive to sell their Enterprise Data SaaS solutions into the transportation sector.

This role focuses on driving the organisation’s expansion into transportation. You will be responsible for originating, developing, and closing high-value, complex opportunities.

Key responsibilities:

• Leading the full sales lifecycle: identifying leads, cultivating relationships, managing bid responses, and securing contracts.
• Creating and presenting compelling business cases and technical propositions.
• Working closely with internal stakeholders and strategic partners to create tailored solutions and winning proposals.
• Engaging C-level executives and key decision-makers across the transportation sector.
• Delivering against ambitious new business growth targets.
• Supporting transition from sales to delivery, ensuring customer outcomes are achieved.
• Representing the organisation at industry events and through thought leadership content.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Experience selling into the transportation sector, with a strong understanding of market landscape, competition, and buyer trends.
• Proven success in securing multi-tower, complex IT deals (e.g., Cloud, Digital, Data Platforms, AI/ML) in transportation.
• Strong experience with tender-based sales processes, including RFIs, ITTs, and pre-qualification questionnaires.
• Exceptional communication, persuasion, and negotiation skills.
• A solutions-oriented mindset and deep understanding of technology-enabled business change.
• Familiarity with data-led propositions, including data acquisition, sharing, and machine learning.
• Confidence working with senior stakeholders and internal cross-functional teams.

This is an exciting opportunity to work in a fast-growing technology company. It could be a springboard for your career.

This is a remote role with national travel required for client site visits.

This role offers an attractive package.
