Likvor is in an expansion phase and is looking to capture business development opportunities and build sales pipeline by hiring a senior executive, who can also take on the role of vice CEO.

To reach our vision and our growth plans, Likvor needs a new person to help increase turnover and prepare for future sales. The role require delivering on set goals, but there is also freedom to try new approaches. Main focus will be to scale the sales further by developing a new operational plan to target new prospects.

Working in a small team means that another important responsibility is to follow-up with clients after sales, and from time to time this role may need to support the CEO in other activities as well as you will be working closely with one another.
