Role Purpose

We are hiring a pure New Business “Hunter” Sales Manager to accelerate growth across Germany, Austria & Switzerland. This role is not account management and does not replace the existing Germany Sales Director. Instead, it adds commercial bandwidth in a market too large and opportunity‑rich for one individual to fully cover. The successful candidate will focus 80–90% on hunting new customers, systematically prospecting, opening doors, and converting new accounts—particularly within the North Sea seafood corridor and broader food processing and distribution markets.

Key Responsibilities

• Proactively identify, target, and win new customer accounts across Germany, Austria & Switzerland, within seafood, meat, and broader food packaging markets
• Execute structured prospecting activities (cold outreach, warm leads, events, trade fairs) across a large and underpenetrated territory
• Build a robust pipeline of qualified opportunities and convert pilots into framework agreements and long‑term customers. Lead commercial discussions including pricing, volumes, and contractual terms for new business
• Work closely with the Hamburg‑based Germany Sales Director to ensure clear territory and account ownership
• Collaborate with internal teams (R&D, Quality, Supply Chain, Finance) to deliver competitive, customer‑aligned solutions
• Maintain accurate CRM reporting, weekly pipeline updates, and monthly forecasts to Germany leadership and Norway HQ
• Represent FBS/Amcor at key industry events, including fish international and relevant food industry forums

Skills & Experience

• Ideally 3-5 years B2B field sales experience, ideally in food packaging, industrial packaging, seafood, meat, or cold‑chain environments
• Demonstrable hunter profile: clear evidence of winning new logos in a competitive B2B market
• Comfortable spending the majority of time in the field (3–4 days per week with customers)
• Strong negotiation skills and commercial mindset
• Native or C2‑level German; working English required for group reporting

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and performance-related bonus
• Company car or car allowance
• Pension scheme and private healthcare options
• Generous holiday entitlement
• Career development and learning opportunities
• Employee assistance programme
