Who You Are

As Sales Director, you deliver. You set a high bar for your own productivity, keep commitments on time and to a high standard, and have the drive to finish what you start. You take ownership, of organizational, team, and personal commitments, including the outcomes of difficult calls - and you hold your team accountable for theirs.

You handle complexity with confidence. Your decisions rest on sound reasoning, relevant facts, and a real weighing of alternatives, and in critical situations you act decisively — neither impulsive nor hesitant. You see the bigger picture: how commercial decisions ripple across the business, other units, and an integrated value chain.

You build and use relationships, inside and outside the organization, to gather critical intelligence and influence key decisions — and you do so with the integrity expected of a global industry leader, in your own work and the work you lead.

• Bachelor's degree in business, marketing, or a related field; MBA is an advantage
• Several years of relevant commercial experience, ideally within seafood, CPG, or perishable FMCG
• Demonstrated track record of driving revenue growth in complex markets
• Strong leadership capabilities; experience from managing and developing teams is an advantage
• Excellent negotiation and relationship-building skills
• Strategic mindset with strong analytical and financial acumen
• Ability to work cross-functionally in a global matrix organization
