Own and grow the North American market

Drive TICRA's commercial growth in North America – the company's largest market for highly specialized antenna simulation and design software serving the space and defense industries. As North America Sales Manager, you will report to the Director of Sales & Marketing and take full responsibility for TICRA's direct sales across the United States and Canada. Your primary focus is new business: proactively identifying and winning new customers among satellite manufacturers, defense primes, government agencies, research institutions and advanced communication system providers. Alongside this, you will expand existing customer relationships through cross- and upselling.

In a technically complex environment with long sales cycles, you will:

• Drive new customer acquisition by prospecting, qualifying and closing new accounts in space, defense and telecom, including government-funded programs
• Own the North American sales target, pipeline and forecast, working in a structured way with clear pipeline management and CRM discipline
• Develop and execute account plans for key existing customers, growing them through cross- and upselling, and engage senior technical and commercial stakeholders
• Work closely with TICRA's application engineers and product teams to translate complex technology into clear customer value and feed market insight back into the product roadmap
• Negotiate and close license agreements, including multi-year and enterprise deals, in line with TICRA's pricing and licensing models
• Represent TICRA at North American conferences, trade shows and customer events, and support marketing activities in the region
• Collaborate with distribution partners and strategic collaborators where relevant

Technical sales professional with a hunter mindset

To succeed in this role, you bring a technical background, including hands-on experience as an RF engineer, and a proven track record of delivering sales results within engineering simulation software, advanced technical solutions or other complex B2B environments. Experience selling into the aerospace, space or defense sector in the US is a strong advantage, as is familiarity with RF, antenna or electromagnetic technologies. As a salesperson at heart, you combine commercial drive with genuine curiosity about complex technologies and the challenges your customers face. You are extroverted and engaging, build trust easily with engineers and decision-makers alike, and pursue opportunities with determination while maintaining sound business judgement. You are self-driven and comfortable working remotely as part of an international team, and you communicate and negotiate confidently in English.

Requirements

• Documented track record of meeting or exceeding sales targets with long sales cycles
• Technical degree (e.g. electrical engineering or physics) and hands-on experience working as an RF engineer
• Knowledge of TICRA software (e.g. GRASP, CHAMP 3D or ESTEAM) is an advantage
• Authorization to work in the United States
• Willingness to travel regularly within North America and occasionally to Denmark

Compensation

• Base salary: $125,000–$160,000 per year depending on experience and qualifications
• Performance-based bonus of up to 40% of base salary
