Join TRAVIS: the fast-growing SaaS scale-up digitizing the truck services industry.

Travis Road Services operates a marketplace (B2B platform and B2C app) that standardizes the offering of thousands of truck service locations (e.g. truck washing, parking and charging) across Europe. Historically, all these locations were offered very decentralized, with their own structures on information, prices, services and payment options.

With TRAVIS, companies that transport goods over land make use of these services in a centralized and standardized way. Travis Road Services is trusted by the likes of Amazon, Girteka, DB Schenker and most of Europe's largest transport companies. The benefit for them is the way in which the company standardizes, digitizes and increasingly automates the way truck services can be searched, booked and paid. By additionally partnering with fuel card providers like Shell, DKV and UTA, they allow many locations to be booked and paid in easier ways.

• Native German level is required, as the role primarily focuses on Germany.

• Proficiency in English is essential.

• Willingness to learn: at Travis Road Services, there are people with 0 to 30 years of experience. What really unites them is that they are all still super eager to learn and grow. They do so by self-reflecting and asking others for feedback.

• Some discipline in structure and administration: as sales, your natural tendency is to be in touch as much as possible. At the same time, Travis Road Services values discipline in logging things the right way in their systems. Although they provide a lot of freedom, they are looking for some structure in how you go about your week and how you log things in their CRM HubSpot.
