  Schulz S.A.

  Jul 2013 - Jun 2018

  As a Sales Analyst, I understood that costs directly influence price and used available data to identify patterns and trends in pricing. From my perspective, calculating price was a natural consequence of interpreting both the product costs and the customer’s strategy.However, this was just one aspect of my role. The other key responsibility was coordinating the entire quotation process across cross-functional departments such as cost engineering, sales, and operations. I led meetings to align teams and ensure that everyone was on the same page, understanding the unique needs of each project. This experience sparked my curiosity about project management, as I realized the importance of planning, coordination, and execution across different teams and phases of a project. Show less

  Sales Project Management

  As sales specialist I was not only responsible for calculating prices, but also for managing all aspects of the account, including market intelligence, commercial negotiations, and contract management. In addition to these responsibilities, I also played a role as a Project Manager for prototype management. These prototypes were special requests from clients who needed them to build new trucks that would later be tested in the market.I saw this as an opportunity to develop my skills further by learning how to manage products in parallel with my other responsibilities, which required strong time management, prioritization, and organizational skills. Balancing these demands helped me grow in my ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining a focus on key deliverables. Show less
