Junior Sales Manager Automation

🚀 We Are Hiring! 🚀

As a Junior Sales Manager Automation at Lynxeo, you will play a key role in supporting the execution of the Commercial Action Plan, actively contributing to BU Automation sales growth and customer satisfaction on an international level. You will have the opportunity to progressively develop your autonomy in managing customer portfolios, working closely with senior sales managers and acquiring strategic and operational skills in the cable and technical solutions sector. You will work in a dynamic environment that values professional growth, advanced digital tools, and a consultative sales approach.

Your primary responsibility will be linked to Lynxeo’s Italian factory, where you will closely collaborate with internal teams. However, your role will also involve frequent interactions and coordination with other Lynxeo factories located in various countries and continents, to ensure seamless alignment and effective support for international customers.

With growing experience and demonstrated results, you will have the opportunity to take on responsibility for these strategic multinational clients.

A key aspect of your role will be collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, including the Technical Office, production, legal, and customer service departments, to find the best balance between factory capabilities and customer satisfaction, ensuring solutions are both technically feasible and meet client needs effectively.

Moreover, you will frequently interact with other Lynxeo factories worldwide to coordinate efforts and share best practices.
