International project sales with a focus on developing new customer relationships

Reporting to the Sales Director, you will be responsible for developing and strengthening HYDRO Precision Tubing’s position in Europe. Your primary task will be to establish new customer relationships while expanding cooperation with existing customers within the Automotive segment.

You have a proactive and outgoing profile and create strong market dialogue through your approach. The role involves project-based sales, where - once customer dialogue is established - you will act as the link between the internal technical team and customer requirements.

Key Responsibilities

As Key Account Manager, you will maintain a strong customer focus through customer meetings, networking activities, and trade fairs, ensuring close and ongoing customer dialogue.

In addition, you will be responsible for pipeline management, reporting, calculations, and preparation of quotations. You will also monitor the market to identify new business and cross-selling opportunities, while keeping track of technological developments and market demand.

With solid technical understanding, you will be able to identify customer needs, provide advisory support, and ensure value-adding solutions across geographic regions.

Proactive, Trust-Building, and Strategic Key Account Manager

To succeed in the role, it is important that you thrive in an international, technical sales environment as a trusted advisor, drawing on your strong communication skills and ability to build trust.

You have a solid understanding of project sales and can translate technical knowledge into commercial opportunities. Through your ability to establish and maintain international relationships, you are able to navigate complex sales processes.

Your customer-oriented approach, strong communication skills, and ability to collaborate across departments make you a valued advisor and sparring partner. You are resilient, persistent, and able to work independently, while also thriving in a team environment focused on knowledge sharing and shared success. Approximately 45–50 travel days per year are expected.

Your Background
