Sales Executive - New Business Development, Norway

Logent is a leading contract logistics provider in Northern Europe, operating in a market where speed, execution, and relationships matter.

As Sales Executive at Logent, your primary mission is clear: win new customers. You will actively hunt new opportunities within logistics operations and staffing, leveraging your industry knowledge and network to generate business. You will work closely with operations and solution specialists, but you are the one driving the deal from first contact to signed agreement.

• Drive tenders, proposals, and commercial calculations in close cooperation with operations 
• Ensure smooth handover of signed customers to operations 
• Represent Logent in customer meetings, industry events, and relevant trade fairs 
• Maintain structured sales activity and pipeline management in CRM 

Who we are looking for:

• A true hunter with a proven track record of winning new B2B customers 
• Experience from logistics, contract logistics, supply chain, or staffing services
• An existing network within logistics, manufacturing, retail, or industrial segments is a strong advantage 
• A hands-on, self-driven sales professional who thrives in the field, not behind a desk 
• Strong commercial mindset with confidence in pricing, negotiations, and closing deals 
• Ability to translate operational logistics challenges into concrete, sellable solutions 
• Fluent in Norwegian and English 
• Driver's license (Category B) and willingness to travel within Norway 

What we can offer you:

• A highly commercial role with clear focus on new sales and growth
• Strong support from experienced operations, solution specialists, and leadership 
• Short decision-making paths and freedom to run your own sales agenda 
• Competitive compensation package, including company car scheme 
• Opportunity to grow with a Nordic logistics leader with ambitious expansion plans 

Location & start date:

You will be based at one of Logent's offices in Norway, with most of your time spent meeting customers across the country. Start date by mutual agreement. 

Application:

Selection is made on an ongoing basis and the positions may be filled before the final application date. We place great emphasis on your personal qualities, commitment, and suitability.
