• Negotiate pricing and margins in volatile fuel markets while protecting profitability
• Partner with operations/dispatch to ensure successful service execution
• Maintain disciplined CRM usage and pipeline visibility

• Skilled in negotiation, pricing strategy, and managing customer expectations in fluctuating markets
• High daily activity levels with consistent follow-up and pipeline discipline
• Excellent communication, organization, and time management skills
• Proficiency with CRM systems, Microsoft Office, and sales tools

Work Schedule & Environment

• Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM (in-office)
• Limited work-from-home flexibility based on performance
• High-performance sales environment with clear expectations for activity and results
• May require responsiveness during major outages or emergency events
