Position

You will have overall sales responsibility for selected international markets and strategic key accounts. Working closely with some of the world's leading snack producers, you will turn customers' technical needs into commercial opportunities and long-term partnerships. The role is central to Quality Pellets' ambition to double both revenue and EBITDA within the next four years. This includes:

• Own and grow sales across selected international markets and major key accounts
• Develop existing customer partnerships and identify new business opportunities
• Plan and execute international sales activities, customer visits and account plans
• Drive customer projects with product development, quality, production and logistics

Quality Pellets is investing in a new factory hall and a third production line to support its expansion plans. You will help turn this additional capacity into profitable growth. International travel is a natural part of the role.

Profile

You have solid experience in technical B2B sales to international key accounts, preferably from food production or food ingredients, and a relevant technical education within food, ideally combined with commercial training. Experience in snacks or extrusion is particularly valuable.

• You have a proven ability to develop international key accounts and build lasting commercial relationships
• You combine technical understanding of food manufacturing with strong commercial judgement
• You have experience in sales leadership and can motivate colleagues across functions towards shared goals
• You communicate confidently in English, preferably also Danish, and adapt well to different business cultures
