Success in this role requires excellent interpersonal skills, attention to detail when preparing documentation, and the ability to work collaboratively across departments. Your proactive approach will contribute significantly to the company’s continued success in the region.

A readiness for international travel highlights your adaptability while your attention to detail guarantees precision when preparing documentation or negotiating contracts. Above all, your collaborative spirit enables you to thrive within supportive teams dedicated to achieving common goals.

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business Administration or a related field provides you with the foundational knowledge required for this position.
  • At least five years of proven experience in industrial sales within a B2B environment equips you with practical insights into client management.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English enable you to interact effectively with diverse stakeholders; proficiency in other local languages is highly advantageous.
  • A willingness and ability to travel overseas demonstrates your commitment to expanding business horizons beyond local markets.
  • Strong relationship-building abilities allow you to connect meaningfully with customers and internal teams alike.
  • Experience preparing detailed sales proposals, quotations, and conducting commercial negotiations ensures accuracy and professionalism in all dealings.
