Open position

Area Sales Manager – DACH

SKAKO Concrete A/S want to increase our efforts in one of our most highly prioritised regions, and are now looking for an Area Sales Manager for a newly established position.

In the second half of 2020, SKAKO Concrete A/S initiated a new general strategy plan of five strategy tracks, including a new sales and marketing plan for certain markets and segments. You now have the chance to influence and realise this plan. We have high standards – but we know that you do too. Both for yourself and for us.

You

• Are technically trained or have a technical mindset – maybe as an engineer, machine technician or similar
• Have at least five years of experience from similar job or as a sales manager or key account manager with your own budget responsibility
• Have knowledge of the line of business from the building and construction industry or have experience with the sale of machines for industrial use. It would be a clear advantage if you come from the concrete industry
• Can provide documentation of good sales results from previous positions
• Have experience with MS office as well as ERP and CRM systems
• Are capable of independent action and have good negotiating skills
• Have good skills in English as a business language and have German as your mother tongue

We

• Offer a competitive fixed salary, a company car, a company-paid phone, pension and bonus arrangements
• Will provide the necessary technical equipment for your home office, including a PC and printer
• Will provide a thorough introduction to our products and systems
• Will connect you with a strong team of plant sales colleagues, aftersales personnel, project managers and overall group support functions such as finance and marketing
• Will give you the responsibility of developing a region and a customer portfolio with huge potential
• Will provide a good and recognised high-end quality product at an old and wellestablished company

Task

Through systematic development, retention and cultivation of the relations of existing and new customers, you will extend the customer portfolio and the market with successful results and fulfil agreed budget targets for your three markets – Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The plan is – as soon as the foundation is in place – further enlargement of the organisation. At first, you will handle the entire sales phase and the market-building work independently – from initial dialogue, quotes, customer meetings, project start-ups, service agreements, follow-up and conclusions to a good and structured hand-over to the project department.

Culture and environment

We look forward to welcoming you into an informal and international environment with a long history. Our total plant and aftersales team consists of 14 colleagues at our headquarters in Faaborg and 10 colleagues around the world, and you will report directly to our sales director in Denmark. We have a horizontal organisation and a pleasant, informal working environment characterised by humour, order and helpful colleagues. Despite your independent work, there will be ample opportunity for professional sparring with experienced colleagues and continuous personal and professional development.

Join our team

Please send your application and CV no later than 1 April 2021. For further information, please contact Sales Director Claus Hansen on the phone: +45 2363 9249 or by email: cha@skako.com

All applications will be treated in confidence and with discretion. We will invite to interview on a running basis and expect to fill the position as soon as possible.
