Senior Sales Coordinator / Inside Sales Manager
High‑Tech Mapping / Robotics Ecosystem
Location: Livonia, MI
Salary: $75,000 base )
I'm recruiting on behalf of a small but high‑impact mapping/data company that builds ultra‑precise 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.
Title: Senior Sales Coordinator / Inside Sales Manager (final title based on profile)
Type: Full‑time, permanent
Location: Livonia, MI (on‑site, not remote)
Comp: Approx. $75,000/year base
Core responsibilities:
-
Own day‑to‑day use of Salesforce: data hygiene, pipeline updates, reports, dashboards
-
Support field / outside sales: proposals, decks, follow‑ups, info gathering, travel support
-
Keep the office and sales operations running smoothly – scheduling, coordination, vendor follow‑up and payments
-
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 hand‑holding, and a high expectation that you'll figure things out and improve how the team works.
Ideal for an up‑and‑comer in their 2nd role, with roughly 2–3 years' experience.
Target background:
-
Degree in data science, analytics, information science, communications, GIS, or similar
-
Exposure to ArcGIS / Esri (e.g., through university GIS coursework or a prior role)
You should have:
-
Solid Salesforce experience (heavy user, power user, or junior admin exposure)
-
Working familiarity with ArcGIS / Esri – able to generate clear visual outputs and simple map‑based collateral
-
Comfort using AI tools (ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.) to accelerate drafting, research and workflow automation
-
Strong process mindset (Kaizen / continuous improvement, 5S‑style thinking)
-
Excellent written English – concise, correct, and suitable for both customers and internal stakeholders
This is a good fit if you're analytically strong, tools‑savvy, and want broad exposure in a high‑tech, data‑driven environment.
Ideal for someone with more traditional sales support / inside sales experience who loves bringing order to moving parts.
Target background:
-
2–5+ years in inside sales, sales coordination or sales operations
-
Experience supporting external / field sales teams
You should have:
-
Proven track record keeping salespeople on track (follow‑ups, CRM discipline, deadlines)
-
Strong organizational skills and reliability; you enjoy running the office
-
Good Salesforce discipline – accurate data entry, pipeline management, reporting (no need to be a developer, but must be diligent)
-
Experience dealing with vendors, payments, scheduling and general office coordination
-
Excellent written English – clean, correct emails and documentation without needing rewrites
This is a good fit if you're operationally strong, unflappable, and like being the person who quietly makes everything work.
-
Strong comfort with technology: Salesforce, Excel, PowerPoint, standard office tools
-
Process‑oriented, with a continuous improvement mindset
-
High standard of written communication (you'll touch contracts/T&Cs and marketing material)
-
Able to operate with limited training runway; proactive and self‑directed
-
They collect and produce high‑precision 3D representations (x, y, z coordinates) of roads and drivable spaces at industrial scale – tens of miles per truck per day
-
Their data is used to help automated vehicles and robots know exactly where they are and where they're allowed to operate
-
Small, specialist team: you'll sit close to senior sales leadership, see real deals, and have outsized impact on process, systems and day‑to‑day operations
