Key responsibilities include achieving sales targets through the acquisition of new customers and promoting products and services to the existing client base, as well as developing market opportunities with a focus on up- and cross-selling. The position also requires regular collaboration with customers, commercial partners, and internal teams, including European stakeholders, to ensure high levels of customer satisfaction.

• Support the collection of strategic market information by tracking competitors' products and customer feedback, and act accordingly.
• Meet—and ideally exceed—sales targets by achieving personal and regional sales objectives.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records in the CRM system as per company policy, including opportunities, contracts, email correspondence, customer relations, tenders, and quotations.
