Join Samskip as a Tender Specialist

Job Description

A huge part of Samskip’s business is derived from global companies who are tendering their logistic needs. Tenders are a formal request for offering lanes with a defined validity and multiple lanes that are offered in a collective request for rates, meaning multiple simultaneous requests with comparable competition.

  • Following up with trade on multiple rounds and target setting
  • Knowledge about the full tender scope of Samskip

Responsibilities

  • Collecting and preparing replies for RFI/RFQ data for new and incumbent customers, including interrogating trade/pricing via Tendering Platform
  • Align with legal and account manager on specific requirements/terms & conditions
  • Assemble package for complete upload
  • Following up on multiple rounds and target setting
  • Communicating and guarding awards versus real volume
  • Advising and informing trade/pricing about the (upcoming) tender and setting timelines and prerequisites
  • Backing up the Corporate Sales Support function

Knowledge and Skills

  • Commercial knowledge
