Commercial Graduate Trainee
Flexport is offering a 12-month Commercial Graduate Trainee program designed for recent graduates eager to explore various commercial roles within the company. The program is structured into four distinct rotations, each lasting three months, providing comprehensive exposure to different facets of Flexport's operations. Participants will be based in either Frankfurt or Hamburg, Germany, and will receive guidance from dedicated mentors throughout the program.
During the first three months, trainees will serve as Sales Development Representatives (SDRs), focusing on generating leads and building a robust sales pipeline. The subsequent three months involve Account Management, where participants will engage with clients, identify upsell and renewal opportunities, and gain insights into the customer lifecycle. The third rotation centers on Sales, offering hands-on experience in managing the full sales cycle, from discovery to deal closure. The final three months allow trainees to choose an elective project in Operations, Marketing, or Customs, enabling them to delve deeper into a specific area of interest. Throughout each rotation, trainees will have the opportunity to develop low-code skills by collaborating with Flexport's engineering team on a capstone project.
Ideal candidates are recent graduates with a Bachelor's or Master's degree in any discipline, fluent in both German and English, and willing to relocate to Hamburg or Frankfurt. A strong affinity for commercial roles, coupled with a solution-oriented, self-motivated, detail-oriented, and organized approach, is essential. While no prior sales experience is required, candidates should be comfortable learning new tools and systems.
Compensation details are not specified in the available information. However, Flexport offers a range of benefits, including lunch delivery four days a week with various options, health insurance with the employee contribution covered, 25 paid vacation days, and an equity program that allows every team member to become a shareholder. Additional perks include an Employee Assistance Program and parental leave benefits.

The Commercial Graduate Trainee program provides an excellent opportunity to gain diverse experience within a rapidly growing organization.
