Are you a driven and experienced B2B salesperson in the manufacturing industry who thrives in a key role on a growth journey? Do you want to help build a new sales unit and expand the customer base in Northern Europe? Then this could be your next challenge!

We are looking for someone with strong self-leadership, an entrepreneurial mindset, and the willingness and courage to drive business forward. You are naturally relationship-oriented and highly motivated to create good collaborations. As a person, you are curious, goal-oriented, and take significant personal responsibility for your results.

As an Industrial Salesperson, you will play a key role in developing and expanding the customer base in Northern Europe, with a particular focus on the automotive industry and finding new markets and sectors.
