Do you thrive in a role where long-term customer relationships, strategic business, and international sales are central? Are you motivated by identifying new business opportunities, building trust with global customers, and driving complex deals from initial contact to long-term partnerships? Then the role of International KAM at Sävjo Plastic could be your next step.
The market is expected to grow by 20% annually in the coming years, and we continue to invest for the future. To meet the increased demand, we are now strengthening our commercial organization with an International KAM who wants to participate and contribute to our continued development.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As International KAM, you will play a central role in our continued international expansion. You will be responsible for developing business with some of the market's leading companies while identifying and driving new business opportunities in international markets.
The market is characterized by a relatively limited number of customers where every deal and relationship is of great importance. The role therefore combines new sales with long-term business development, where the focus lies on creating strong collaborations and long-term value. You are responsible for the entire sales process, from prospecting and customer meetings to negotiation, contracts, and further development of the business. To succeed, you will work closely with both customers and internal functions such as project management, production, and product development.
This is a role for you who enjoys great personal responsibility and wants to combine strategic business work with operational sales in an international environment. You will have the opportunity to work with some of the market's most successful companies where business understanding, building trust, and long-term perspective are crucial for success.
The role is based at our headquarters in Småland and involves regular international travel, primarily within North America.
YOU WILL
In the role of International KAM, you are responsible for developing and managing long-term relationships with some of the company's most strategically important international customers. You identify, approach, and create new business opportunities with North America as the primary focus, while further developing existing collaborations in Europe.
You drive the entire sales process, from prospecting and customer meetings to negotiation, contracts, and further development of the business. The work involves close collaboration with project management, production, and product development to ensure successful deliveries and high customer satisfaction.
You will also represent Sävjo Plastic during customer visits, trade fairs, and international industry events, as well as contribute market insights that strengthen the company's commercial strategy and continued expansion.
YOU ARE
We are looking for you who have at least five years of experience in B2B sales and business development and who thrive in a role where long-term relationships, strategic business, and new customer acquisition go hand in hand.
You have experience with complex sales processes and feel confident driving deals from initial contact to closing. As a person, you are business-oriented, relationship-building, and self-driven, with a natural ability to create trust and build strong collaborations over time. You thrive in international contexts, have strong personal drive, and are motivated by identifying new opportunities, creating business value, and contributing to the company's continued development.
We believe you have experience in international sales or business development. Experience from the packaging industry, the plastics industry, manufacturing industry, FMCG, or related industries is meritorious, but not a requirement.
You communicate fluently in English, both orally and in writing.
