- Represent ARK Trade at trade fairs and in market
- Work with sourcing and operations so what you sell can actually be delivered
- Report honestly on pipeline, including what is not working
What we're looking for
- Three or more years in B2B business development, ideally in trade or distribution
- A demonstrable record of closing commercial agreements
- Comfortable prospecting from a standing start
- Willing to travel internationally
