Sales Manager - Hands-on sales management and business development

Are you the type who naturally takes responsibility for growth, challenges the status quo and ensures that the sales efforts are focused where they create the most value? Is sales still something that drives you, because you are motivated by creating results rather than just reporting on them?

Then we are confident that you are the right candidate for the role of Sales Manager at OX-ON!

As Sales Manager, your primary task is to drive growth and strengthen OX-ON's position as Denmark's leading full-service supplier of personal safety equipment in the Danish market and selected export markets. You will set a clear commercial direction, identify the biggest growth opportunities, and ensure that the sales organization focuses its efforts where the potential and value creation are greatest.

In daily practice you translate strategy into action. You develop existing customers, create new business opportunities and use data, market insights and close customer dialogue to prioritise resources correctly, so the sales effort results in profitable growth and stronger market positions.

Even though you will set the direction for the sales organization, you have not lost the joy of being on the field yourself. You enjoy customer contact, willingly take responsibility for larger customers and get an extra kick when an effort becomes growth and new orders.

Your primary responsibilities

• Develop sales in Denmark and selected export markets through close dialogue with customers, wholesalers and partners.
• Develop and drive selected key accounts and create growth with both existing and new customers.
• Ensure direction and structure in the sales work so we work consistently and get the most out of the effort.
• Drive and further develop the use of Salesforce, so data is translated into action and better decisions.
• Dive into sales figures, customer data and market insights and translate them into concrete initiatives.
• Push the business forward by bringing people across the organization together and finding solutions when things become complex.

We imagine that you

• Have solid experience in sales and business development and are motivated by creating growth through strong customer relationships and commercial results.
• Combine a strategic mindset with a hands-on approach and thrive being close to customers, business and the market.
• Work in a structured and data-driven way and be able to translate numbers, analyses and market insights into concrete actions and results.
• Have experience with Salesforce or similar CRM systems and thrive on working data-driven through digital tools and analyses.
• Naturally takes ownership, creates momentum and has the courage to challenge existing processes when there is potential for improvement.
• Communicates fluently in Danish and English. If you also speak German, we see it as an advantage.
