Do you want to help shape the future of manufacturing through robotics and intelligent automation?
At KUKA Nordic, we are looking for a commercially driven Area Sales Manager who is passionate about creating customer value through world-class automation solutions and long-term partnerships.
As Area Sales Manager, you will take ownership of one of KUKA's most important sales territories, covering the Mälardalen region and northern Sweden. While the territory is geographically large, the majority of customers are located within the Mälardalen region.
This is a role with significant commercial freedom and responsibility. You will be responsible for developing business with industrial end customers, automation system integrators and machine builders (OEMs), creating new opportunities while strengthening existing customer relationships.
Rather than selling individual products, you will work closely with customers to understand their production challenges and develop complete automation solutions that create long-term business value. You will manage the entire sales process—from the first customer dialogue through technical discussions and commercial negotiations to signed orders—supported by KUKA's highly experienced application engineers and technical specialists.
You will report to the Cluster Sales Director and become part of KUKA's Northern European sales organisation, collaborating closely with colleagues across the region. This is a field-based role where your home office serves as your base, while most of your time is spent visiting customers and developing business across your territory.
You're an experienced B2B sales professional with a background in industrial automation or related technical solutions. You enjoy developing new business, building long-term customer relationships and navigating complex sales processes involving multiple stakeholders. Most importantly, you thrive in an independent role where you take ownership of your territory and commercial results.
