You will be responsible for driving complex, high-value enterprise deals and establishing long-term strategic partnerships with large customers. This role owns advanced, multi-stakeholder sales cycles that often span regions, business units, and decision layers.

- Navigate complex buying groups across procurement, ops, finance, IT, and senior leadership.
- Design integrated, multi-product Flexport solutions aligned to customer priorities and business outcomes.

- Contribute to enterprise sales best practices, deal reviews, and peer coaching.
- Represent Flexport with credibility and confidence in high-stakes customer interactions.
- As part of the founding Poland team, help shape early market strategy and commercial playbooks that will define Flexport’s approach to the territory going forward.
