Moreover, it is important that you can work efficiently and follow the principles of Commercial Excellence.

KMC is on a growth journey and operates in a market demanding a constant eye on the situation. Therefore, you must have an international mindset knowing the value of strategic partnerships and alliances with customers to obtain the best possible base for the continuous growth of KMC. Moreover, you have an excellent overview of the national and international market situation to react proactively to these.

With a direct report to Regional Director, you will have responsibility for your assigned countries and direct sale in Europe and Scandinavian. You will be responsible for building and maintaining long, value-based collaborations with customers and identifying new opportunities. You will also be budget and forecast responsible.

Your qualifications include cultural understanding and international sales experience with a close focus on product and price management. You can work across the entire organisation; thus, you must be a team player, valuing close cooperation with colleagues.

You have practical experience within e.g., distributor sales from a similar industry; however, an educational background in Economics or Business Administration will be an advantage.
