I'm recruiting on behalf of a small but highimpact mapping/data company that builds ultraprecise digital representations of the physical world. Their data underpins advanced driver assistance, autonomous vehicles, robotics and digital twin applications.

They're looking for a Senior Sales Coordinator / Inside Sales Manager to be the operational backbone of the sales and marketing function in their Livonia office.

This can be filled by one of two distinct profiles if you fit either, I want to hear from you.

The Role

• Help create and maintain sales reports, marketing collateral and internal documentation
• Introduce and embed AI tools into workflows where practical (drafting, analysis, process automation)
• Continuously improve processes documenting, standardizing and tightening how things get done

This is a lean environment: low bureaucracy, limited handholding, and a high expectation that you'll figure things out and improve how the team works.
