  • Providing technical consultation and support on engine selection and installation.
  • Driving sales and gross margin growth.
  • Monitoring market trends and competition.

Responsibilities
  • Manage key accounts to achieve strategic goals through sales calls and developing account-level business plans.
  • Negotiate policies and implement them internally while ensuring effective communication.
  • Collaborate with Product Management to develop new product features and benefits to gain competitive advantages in the marketplace, and implement plans for new products within the assigned customer base.
  • Recommend sales promotions to the marketing department and develop product merchandising strategies.
  • Analyze sales and market trends to formulate policies, promote sales, and assess customer needs and pricing schedules.
  • Manage account-level P&L to maximize sales volume and profitability.
  • Report sales activity to upper management.
  • Provide guidance to other sales team members to help secure new business.

Profile

  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in sales or a related field.
  • Proven strategic acumen.
  • Ability to develop, forecast, and manage budgets.
  • Capability to translate corporate commercial strategy and goals into regional and actionable sales initiatives.
  • Excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills.
  • Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Strong presentation and negotiation skills.
  • Fluent in English and German; knowledge of additional languages is a plus.
  • Strong business acumen, ideally supported by a higher-level qualification in business or a related field.
