About the Commercial Marketing Job in Douala

According to the vacancy details, the successful candidate will contribute to commercial growth, market development and digital marketing activities for a client operating in the port sector. The role requires someone who can develop customer relationships, identify new business opportunities and contribute to achieving portfolio and revenue targets. The position also involves working with the company’s IT section to support marketing development across digital platforms.

Key Responsibilities

The selected candidate will be expected to:

• Achieve growth objectives for the customer portfolio and business volumes.
• Identify and exploit new market opportunities.
• Support the development of the company’s marketing activities on digital platforms.
• Work jointly with the IT section on digital marketing initiatives.
• Monitor customer relationships and performance indicators.
• Prepare commercial reporting and track KPIs.

Candidate Requirements

Applicants for this Commercial Marketing Job in Douala should meet the following requirements:

• BAC+3 in Commercial Action, Digital Marketing, Marketing, Sales and Commerce, or an equivalent qualification.
• Be perfectly bilingual.
• Have approximately 3 years of experience in commercial activities.
• A specialization in marketing is an advantage.
• Have excellent knowledge of:
  • Transit;
  • Maritime logistics;
  • Port handling equipment rental.
• Have strong reporting, customer follow-up and KPI-monitoring skills.
• Demonstrate good communication skills and integrity.
• Be focused on continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.
• Knowledge of another foreign language, particularly Chinese, is an advantage.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This opportunity is particularly relevant for professionals who combine sales, marketing and logistics knowledge. The position goes beyond traditional sales because it involves market development, customer portfolio growth, KPI reporting and digital marketing.

Candidates with experience in the port, maritime logistics, transit or material-handling sectors may therefore have a strong advantage.
