About CAKE

CAKE is a Swedish company with a clear mission to inspire towards a zero-emission society, by combining excitement and responsibility in its development of light, quiet, and clean high-performance electric motorcycles and mopeds. Its first model, the Kalk, debuted in January 2018 and received numerous accolades, including the 2019 and 2020 Red Dot Design Award, IF Design Award, Automotive Brand Contest Award, and “Best in Show” designation by several outdoor industry publications. In 2019, CAKE launched the Ösa, a utility platform with an integrated power station and off-road capabilities, which extended their award-winning streak. CAKE expanded into the race scene in November 2020, launching the Kalk OR Race and Kalk INK Race. In September 2021, CAKE released a convenient and light city moped, the Makka, expanding the user matrix further. Building on CAKE’s existing platforms, the :work series of bikes optimized for professional use, including last-mile delivery and service applications, was launched in November 2021.

Description:

CAKE is looking for a Sales Management Trainee to join us after summer. We are expanding in many directions all over the world and need a stellar addition to the CAKE Team. As a Sales Management Trainee, you will play a crucial role in our growth going forward, working closely with the Sales Management Team and, in parallel, being involved in the most important projects CAKE is driving right now.

We are curious to find a person who is results oriented, a doer, and not afraid to get their hands dirty. We are looking for someone who is eager to learn and develop fast. As a Sales Management Trainee you will work with key projects of CAKE’s future growth and sales – build strategies and plans, execute and evaluate. We are very sure about one thing, that it is going to be an exciting journey ahead. Our ambitions are high, so we need a person who likes to be in a company at its early stage.

In this role you will (among many things):

• Work closely with and support the Sales Management Team
• Report directly to the Chief Commercial Officer
• Evaluate, analyze and drive critical projects
• Support the team hands-on, including operational projects, working together with different departments, evaluating opportunities and supporting the international expansion.

Who we are looking for:

• You are curious and love learning new things
• You work best in a fast-paced environment
• You are able to take full ownership of a project
• You have strong analytical and presentation skills
• You have excellent written and verbal communication skills
• You are fluent in English. Other languages are a plus
• You have worked at a startup or other fast-paced environment / have the desire to work at a startup
• You can adapt in a dynamic, ever-changing environment

We actively seek to recruit talented people from all academic backgrounds. We encourage all majors to apply, and will consider extracurricular activities, academic standing and work experience when selecting candidates to interview.

Keep in mind that CAKE is a startup at heart. We don’t know exactly where this journey will take us, but we are on a fantastic path. Things change fast, new opportunities come out of the blue and, as a result, your assignments will change over time as well. We think you’ll make the most impact if you are a Sales Management Trainee for 12-18 months, with the aim that you will be able to transition to a new role within the organisation after that fits both your interests and skills and where you would continue to bring value to CAKE.
