Flexo Industry Country Sales Manager - Remote

Overview

Are you a deeply knowledgeable flexo industry insider? Do you know your UTECO from your Lombardi, your Tesa from your 3M, and the difference between UV and solvent-based solutions? If so, we have an exceptional opportunity that could be the perfect next step in your career.

We’re partnering with a rapidly expanding, global leader in solutions and consumables, specifically serving the flexographic printing market. This isn’t just another sales role; it’s a chance to become the driving force behind their Italian market strategy, building upon existing successes and shaping the future of their presence in this key region.

In Short

• Entrepreneurial Impact: Forget being a cog in a machine. You’ll be taking the reins from an existing, non-Italy-focused sales team and building a dedicated, in-market presence. You’ll have a direct line to the leadership team, influencing strategy and contributing to high-level decision-making.
• Agility and Innovation: This is a smaller, highly flexible organization that can react quickly to market demands. They pride themselves on fast turnaround times, bespoke product development, and a customer-centric approach.
• Product Portfolio Depth: You’ll be representing a comprehensive range of solutions for the flexo industry, including essential consumables and other key components. This allows you to offer complete solutions to your clients, building long-term partnerships.
• Greenfield Opportunity with Support: While you’ll be responsible for driving new business (and we expect you to be a proactive hunter!), you’ll also be nurturing existing relationships and leveraging the company’s global resources and expertise.
• Be the Face of the Brand: You’ll be the key point of contact for Italian customers, representing the company at industry events, trade shows, and in partnership development.

Requirements

• Deep Flexo Expertise: You must have a proven track record within the flexographic printing industry, either from a supplier or manufacturer perspective. Technical understanding is crucial.
• Sales Hunter Mentality: You’re a self-starter, driven to identify and close new business opportunities. You thrive in a field-based role, building relationships and exceeding targets.
• Relationship Builder: You’re not just about closing deals; you’re about building long-term partnerships with clients, understanding their needs, and providing tailored solutions.
• Fluent Communicator: You’re fluent in Italian (for customer interactions) and English (for internal communication within this international team).
• Strategic Thinker: You can see the bigger picture and develop a strategic approach to market penetration and growth.

Benefits

• A competitive base salary between €55,000 and €65,000, plus a performance-based bonus.
• A company car and all necessary equipment for a home-office setup.
• The opportunity to make a significant impact on a growing, global company.
• Direct access to senior leadership and the ability to influence strategy.
• Regular travel within Italy and occasional trips to the company’s headquarters.
