- Learn the trucking and logistics landscape fast, and become a credible first voice of Trella to prospects
What You'll Need:
- 0-2 years of experience in sales, business development, or a customer-facing role (internships count)

- Highly organized and self-driven, able to manage a large volume of leads without dropping the ball
- Excellent communication skills in [Arabic/English as needed]
