- Cross-functional execution: Work closely with engineering and operations to ensure projects meet customer expectations on cost, quality, and time-to-market.
Qualifications:
Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business, Engineering, or a related field
Experience & skills:
- Proven sales success: 5+ years in business development, account management, or technical sales — ideally within industrial, agricultural, or construction equipment sectors.
- Hunter mentality: A strong track record of building pipelines and consistently meeting or exceeding sales targets.
- Negotiation skills: Confidence in leading complex customer discussions and securing favorable agreements.
- Analytical & commercial acumen: Skilled in building business cases, value propositions, and ROI calculations for customers
- Technical curiosity: Ability to understand electronic systems and communicate their value to both engineers and commercial stakeholders.
