Requirements
  • Have experience in a fast-moving sales role: Your background in sales (ideally with a tech product) will help you negotiate with suppliers and secure the best deals. You enjoy working to ambitious targets and have the resilience to overcome obstacles.
  • Have great communication skills (in French and English): This is vital for collaborating with suppliers and team members, sharing insights, and driving sales strategies.
  • Excel at relationship building: You can build strong relationships with suppliers and colleagues while being assertive when needed to ensure goals are met.
  • Are a proactive planner: If staying ahead of the game excites you, you’ll excel in planning and preparing for future sales opportunities.
Responsibilities
  • Ensure that suppliers are listing their products and proactively work to create sales.
  • The day starts bright and early with the team calling suppliers to collaborate on their daily listings and fill any product gaps in the Rooser marketplace.
  • The team gathers insights on market conditions to spot daily opportunities.
  • Join the morning commercial team meeting to share your market insights with the demand team and gather buyer requests.
  • Spend the next few hours working on these buyer requests. Tools like Looker can analyse sales data and find the right products at the best prices to drive sales.
  • Collaborate with colleagues throughout the morning to identify and create sales opportunities. Share market data with sellers to optimise sales conditions.
  • Wrap up the afternoon by preparing for the next day, solving any outstanding order issues, and validating opportunities and goals.

Rooser.eu is a digital marketplace focused on the seafood industry, connecting buyers and sellers of various seafood products like haddock, cod, and salmon. The platform allows seafood traders, restaurants, and businesses to negotiate prices, place orders, and ensure timely payments. Rooser operates by providing a transparent environment where sellers can list their stock and share offers with multiple buyers simultaneously. Buyers can browse and order seafood in real time, 24/7, and negotiate prices directly. Unlike traditional seafood trading, Rooser aims to eliminate guesswork and frustrations by ensuring that the quality of seafood ordered matches what is received. The company generates revenue by charging a fee for each transaction, while also addressing issues like market price volatility and lack of transparency that often lead to significant waste in the seafood supply chain.
