Vacant job

Do you want to represent the market's most sustainable and high-quality lighting solutions while building long-term customer relationships in a growing organization?

STRIHL is on a strong growth journey and is now looking for a driven Account Manager to join us in Jönköping. Here, you will have the opportunity to work closely with customers in a role where you build business, relationships, and the energy-efficient society of the future.

We offer

At STRIHL, you will have the opportunity to become part of a family-run, entrepreneurial company with strong growth and high ambition. You will work in a culture characterized by drive, community, and humility, where everyone helps each other and where your contribution truly makes a difference. You will get a broad and flexible role with great personal responsibility, while having a competent team behind you.

We give you excellent conditions for success through a well-thought-out introduction, close support from experienced colleagues, and a product portfolio well-known for quality, sustainability, and technical excellence.

What does Emil Tirén, CEO, have to say about the company?

"The main advantages of working at STRIHL are the strong culture and the opportunity to make an impact. There is a high ceiling and a family atmosphere where colleagues support each other and collaboration between departments runs smoothly. Short decision-making paths mean that ideas can quickly be turned into action.

Employees have great ownership of their work and the opportunity to plan their time with a focus on long-term value creation for customers. The combination of independence, strong team support, a flat organization, and short decision-making paths makes STRIHL a modern workplace where both people and business can develop.

The company is also on a clear development journey, which creates drive, pace, and opportunities for employees to be involved and influence. The ambition to become one of the industry's leading players feels very timely, and I am convinced that Strihl's combination of technology, services, and local production gives us all the conditions to get there."

Responsibilities

As an Account Manager at STRIHL, you will be the face of the company. You will work independently and relationship-building, with great freedom to manage your days and develop your market. The role involves a mix of existing customers and your own prospecting, where you actively seek new business opportunities and drive the sales process from first contact to closing.

The inside sales team supports you by preparing light calculations, simulations, and technical details, so that you can focus on customer dialogue and the overall business.

• Build and develop long-term customer relationships
• Prospecting, cold calling, meeting booking, and new customer acquisition
• Work strategically with sales across several decision-making levels
• Collaborate closely with inside sales on light calculations and solution proposals

Your district covers the east coast, from Norrköping in the north to Karlshamn in the south, and the role may also involve travel to other parts of Sweden. We prefer that you live in Jönköping or the surrounding area, but placement is flexible within the region. You will work from a home office and report directly to the CEO.

What does Thomas Helgesson, Key Account Manager (outside sales), have to say about the role and the company?

"A typical week, I am usually in the office on Mondays for meetings and check-ins with the rest of the sales team. The rest of the week, I am mainly out in the field for customer visits, project reviews, and on-site dialogues. In parallel, I have ongoing check-ins with inside sales, who support with light calculations and quotes. This allows me to focus on customer relationships, needs analysis, and driving the business forward.

We have a high ceiling and a culture where people support each other. Communication between departments runs smoothly and without unnecessary friction, which means things move quickly. You have freedom under responsibility and can plan your own week and take ownership of your results."

Your profile

We are looking for someone who enjoys meeting people and is motivated to create and drive business. You have a technical interest and are curious to understand how our products create value for customers. To succeed, we see that you are self-reliant, fearless, and have a strong will to perform, while also being unpretentious and easy to collaborate with. If you have an established network within electrical installation, municipality, sports, or contracting in Jönköping, that is a clear plus. Sports background or experience in sales is also highly valued.

We believe you have:

• High school education
• Experience in sales and/or sports background
• Technical interest and willingness to learn products and systems
• Good knowledge of Swedish and English, spoken and written
• Driver's license
