* You bring five to ten years of professional experience in the sale of capital goods and technical solutions in an industrial environment.
* Your personality is characterised by strong sales drive, personal initiative and genuine enthusiasm for direct customer contact, combined with excellent negotiation skills.
* Initial leadership experience is ideal; alternatively, you bring the willingness to grow into the full scope of the management role.
* You speak Italian at native level and possess very good German or English language skills.
* Willingness to travel within Italy, Italian-speaking Switzerland and to Germany for headquarters visits is a matter of course for you.
You can look forward to a varied working environment with considerable scope for independent action and strong potential for personal development. An attractive compensation package — starting from € 90,000,-s per annum fixed, plus bonus and company car — is offered in relation to your qualifications and prior experience. A structured onboarding programme at the headquarters in Germany ensures a thorough introduction to the role. Beyond that, an innovative, technology-driven working environment in a growing market awaits you.We address experienced candidates from the Milan area or from German-speaking countries who are willing to relocate.
