In addition, you will be tasked with managing the sales team to ensure a healthy pipeline of new providers to our platform. You will be a strong team player and willing to do things outside of the day-to-day work activities - driving local execution of our global projects or being the Country Manager’s right hand in managing our business priorities.

Identify & remove blockers to growth and working ad-hoc Bolt Food sales projects. Rethink how we do things and always look for innovative ways to improve our performance. Manage and constantly improve sales tools. Achieve growth and hit country sales targets by successfully managing the team’s and your own sales pipelines. Designing and implementing a country sales plan/strategy that expands Food’s customer base. Identify market shifts and opportunities whilst being fully aware of new products and competition status. Occasionally cover/manage teams from other Food departments and support the Country Manager in the overall strategy and results country wide.

About you:

BS degree in Business Administration or related field. At least 4 to 5 years of experience in sales, account management, business consultancy, business development, or similar roles. At least 3 year of experience managing teams. Excellent communication & written skills in English and local language. You are an analytical thinker who loves to solve problems. Be a hustler, not stopping after 20 obstacles a day. Be an owner and proactively find solutions to problems. Be passionate about new technologies and food tech. You are organised. You deliver stuff on time. You are social. You can easily network with people of all backgrounds.

Why you’ll love it here:

Accelerate your professional growth with unique career opportunities. Enjoy a rewarding salary and stock options, knowing that as Bolt succeeds, so do you. Take care of your physical and mental health with our wellness perks. Celebrate 5 years at Bolt with a 1-month paid sabbatical to recharge.

Expert Application Advice

When applying to Bolt, make sure your CV clearly shows how you’ve led teams to exceed targets—number one way to stand out. If 5 years of experience is listed, include a short example of how you mastered it in a previous role.

Positioning — Your cover letter must answer one question: why YOU for THIS specific role right NOW? Avoid generic templates — one sentence on what you specifically bring beats three generic paragraphs.

Sales KPIs — Revenue generated, portfolio growth, quota attainment (%): these 3 metrics are mandatory in senior interviews. Also prepare your 100-day plan — sales directors who arrive with a plan are consistently perceived as more credible.

🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
