• Shaping the local sales strategy by identifying growth opportunities, prioritising profitability, and maintaining and expanding existing client relationships.
• Evaluating and supervising expansion opportunities while ensuring we have enough supply to match demand and keeping track of market shifts, opportunities, new products, and competition status. 
• Continuously seeking innovative ways to improve performance, including managing and updating sales tools, Bolt Food's Sales Playbook, and additional material. 

• You have solid experience in Sales or a related field, with a proven track record of managing a team.  
• You have a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration or a similar field, or equivalent hands-on experience.
• You are fluent in Azeri and proficient in English, and can confidently network and build meaningful relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
• You excel in driving revenue growth and meeting sales targets with practical negotiation strategies and tactics, especially in high-growth sectors like shared economy, technology, transport, and startups.
• You demonstrate a highly data-driven, analytical mindset, and you’re an experienced CRM user who can examine data to optimise your team's activities and identify patterns and trends within the data.
• You thrive in a fast-paced environment, easily overcoming obstacles and adapting quickly to change.

Experience is great, but what we really look for is drive, intelligence, and integrity. So even if you don’t tick every box, please consider applying!

• Play a direct role in shaping the future of mobility.

• Impact millions of customers and partners in 600+ cities across 50+ countries.
