Department:
Sales

full-time

Benefits:
On-site cafeteria, flexible working hours and much more

How you will make an impact:

Sales & Services Leadership: You will lead and align our sales team with the global strategy, oversee sales and service efforts across EU, NOAM, and Asia, and ensure effective steering and performance tracking. You will also manage regional representatives and collaborate closely with ENGEL US on integration and reporting.
Strategic Sales Management: In this role, you will design and execute strategic plans for brand owners and key accounts, identify new growth markets for our MuCell technology, and act as the primary contact for the footwear industry in both the US and Europe. You will also drive business development initiatives and take global ownership of key account management.
Operational Oversight: You will align sales and service teams across regions, foster collaboration with technical and product departments, and maintain close cooperation with the Asian Sales Manager. Representing TREXEL at customer meetings and industry events, as well as overseeing subsidiaries to ensure corporate alignment, will also be part of your scope.
Commercial & Strategic Control: As Head of Sales, you will hold full revenue responsibility for global sales, manage customer contracts and negotiations, and prioritize orders and resources in line with strategic needs.

What makes you a great fit:

A technical or materials background is highly beneficial — as selling MuCell means selling an application rather than just hardware.
Proven experience in international sales leadership, ideally within plastics, materials, or machinery industries.
Solid understanding of strategic account management and market development.
Excellent leadership, negotiation, and communication skills with fluency in English; additional languages are an advantage – especially German. A willingness to travel internationally is essential.
Strong ability to quickly take ownership of sales steering responsibilities.

What you can look forward to:

A high-impact leadership role with global responsibility and strategic influence.
The opportunity to shape growth and innovation in international markets.
Close collaboration with global teams across Europe, North America, and Asia.
Direct involvement in cutting-edge technology with strong relevance across industries.
A gross monthly salary starting from € 5,988.46, to be determined together based on your profile (full-time basis and in accordance with the collective agreement for the metalworking industry).
