Innovation is at the heart of our concerns, regardless of your industry: aerospace, automotive, cement plant, wind energy, rail, machine tools, textile machinery, agricultural machinery, construction machinery, mines and quarries, vacuum pumps, steel industry, etc. NTN EUROPE is committed to global solutions (Product Life Cycle Management). Our customised offer (from design to storage), integrates maintenance, training, and all the services that optimise the performance of the product within its application.

The position

Our aftermarket business is one of our largest growth areas and plays a big part in our success and in our strong results. With our high-quality products, which have granted us a strong position within the OEM market, we have become a very strong and successful supplier to the aftermarket. Our aftermarket business in Northern Europe is growing and we see enormous potential in this region. The Northern Region at NTN Europe consists of Nordic countries and widely including UK & Ireland. We are now recruiting a Sales Account Manager to manage our Nordic countries sales in the local market and take our aftermarket there to new levels. As a Sales Account Manager, you will be responsible for the sales to the independent aftermarket in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway and Iceland. The sales are driven through a network of wholesalers. Hence you will work with both purchasers and product managers at wholesale level. You will primarily develop our accounts with focus on developing our product lines and finding new business opportunities with existing accounts before working with new prospects.

You will be our local Sales Account Manager in this region and therefore you will play a very important part in our investment in this growth area. Consequently, you will have a very free and independent position in developing our business in your region and you will build strategies, set up goals and develop a suitable price structure for your local market.

In this position, you will report to our aftermarket manager for Northern Europe. We are committed to finding a convenient and long-term solution for the region and therefore see it appropriate that you start from your home office in Sweden. Regular trips of up to 50% of the time occur but you get to plan and organise your time and effort yourself.

Your profile

To match the position, we believe that you have at least five years of experience in sales and business development from the automotive industry and from the aftermarket business. You have a strong sales track record and enjoy an independent and mobile job. Furthermore, you speak both Swedish and English in speech and writing and have a good knowledge of MS Office, particularly MS Excel.

As a person, you succeed in an independent role where you get to plan your time and work effort yourself. You are result-oriented, motivated, enthusiastic and thrive in a position that combines strategic and operational work. Furthermore, you are a secure person who enjoys social contacts, and you have strong communication skills. Should you also share our interest in the automotive industry, you will match the position and our company very well.

Our offer

At NTN you will find a leading supplier of high-quality products to the automotive aftermarket. You will run the Nordic countries business in a free and independent way while having a very strong company to support you. You will get the opportunity to grow and develop both your business skills and your knowledge in sales as well as business development and you will also find good career opportunities. You will work with a market that we believe in and want to invest in, in which you will take on a key position and your contribution will make a big difference.
