Sales & Operations Specialist - Fair Logistics

Location: Northern Virginia (NoVA) - Regional coverage within the D.C. Metro area

Position Overview:

We are seeking a dynamic and highly motivated Sales & Operations Specialist to join our growing team in Northern Virginia. This unique position combines the responsibilities of both a sales professional and operations support, offering a diverse and hands-on experience within a fast-paced environment.

The ideal candidate will possess a strong drive to succeed in sales while also having a keen interest in supporting operational functions. The role involves direct sales activities, customer relationship management, and some operational duties. Additionally, you will be responsible for driving a company van and maintaining a flexible schedule to meet customer demands and business needs. This is not a typical 9a to 5p schedule so having flexibility in your day-to-day schedule is essential.

This position offers potential career growth, with the opportunity to transition into a full-time sales role based on performance and results.

Key Responsibilities:

• Sales:
  • Drive new business opportunities by identifying and engaging potential clients.
  • Manage existing accounts and maintain strong relationships with current customers.

• Operations Support:
  • Assist with day-to-day operational tasks, including but not limited to inventory management, order fulfillment, and coordinating logistics.
  • Maintain and drive a company van, ensuring that all necessary materials and equipment are delivered to clients.
  • Provide feedback and insights to help streamline operations and improve service delivery.
• Customer Service:
  • Handle customer inquiries, concerns, and requests promptly and professionally.
  • Ensure smooth communication between clients and internal teams to resolve issues and ensure a seamless experience.

Compensation: $50,000 - $65,000 annually (commensurate with experience)

Requirements:

• Experience:
  • Previous sales or operations experience is preferred but not required. Ideal candidates may have experience in roles similar to a sales intern, or operations roles like those held by Dave Miller or Emily Pullman.
  • Ability to thrive in a flexible, varied work environment that is not bound by a standard 9-5 schedule.
• Skills:
  • Strong communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and work independently.
  • Self-motivated, results-oriented, and driven to meet sales goals.
  • Comfort with technology and proficiency in using CRM software, email, and Microsoft Office Suite.
• Physical Requirements:
  • Must have a valid driver's license and a clean driving record.
  • Ability to lift and carry materials (up to 50 lbs) when needed.
• Other:
  • Flexibility to work outside of standard office hours as needed (e.g., evenings, weekends).
  • Must be based in or near the Northern Virginia (NoVA) area, with regular travel within the region.
