Raft is the intelligent logistics platform that’s rewriting the technology playbook for freight forwarders and customs brokers in the automation era. A dynamic UK-based technology company with a global impact across logistics, we’re searching for a Customer Implementation Manager who is excited by the prospect of working in a rapidly growing international scale-up. We have significant runway thanks to our most recent Series B funding, which we raised from some of the best investors in the space: Eight Roads (Alibaba, Spendesk, Toast), Bessemer Venture Partners (LinkedIn, Twilio, Shopify), Episode 1 (Zoopla, Betfair, Shazam) and Dynamo Ventures (Sennder, Stord, Gatik).
As a Client Director EMEA at Raft, you aren't just a point of contact—you are a Strategic Manager. You will sit at the intersection of business strategy and technological innovation, partnering with C-Suite stakeholders at the world’s most complex enterprise organisations.
We are looking for a high-caliber professional who combines the rigorous analytical framework of a management consultant with the commercial hunter-gatherer instinct of a top-tier SaaS executive. Your mission is to move beyond the "vendor" relationship and become an indispensable partner in our clients' long-term digital evolution.
We are seeking a "Player-Coach" mentality—someone who can think 30,000 feet up but execute at ground level.
You possess a background in Management Consulting (Tier 1 or Big 4) or have led high-value digital transformation sales at a global SaaS leader.
You are an expert in navigating the intricacies of "Big Deal" mechanics, from complex multi-year commercial modelling to high-level legal and procurement negotiations.
You have a proven ability to build instant credibility with C-Suite executives and can translate technical product capabilities into high-level business outcomes.
You possess a deep understanding of the Enterprise Software landscape and, while specific expertise in Logistics is a distinct advantage, we value the ability to transfer complex domain knowledge from other highly regulated or intricate global sectors.
You are driven by "Value Realisation," using data-led insights to prove business impact and turn software deployments into indispensable strategic partnerships.
We are raft, a machine learning driven start-up that automates operations for freight forwarding, a critical part of the global supply chain. We're transforming this $200B industry's heavily manual processes from the ground up. Our customers include Fracht, EFL, NNR Global Logistics, The Scarbrough Group, Steam Logistics and Navia Freight, as well as other top-10 freight forwarders.
