The position of Regional Sales Manager (International)

The Benelux countries and Scandinavia are among the regions included in this area. The main focus is on the growth and profitability of your region. You keep an eye on regional market trends and identify new opportunities to pursue. Achieving optimal customer satisfaction is your primary goal, and you address potential issues promptly by providing solutions. You understand your clients and dealers well and proactively think through suitable, technical solutions to meet their training requirements. Selling a technical product is second nature to you. Ultimately, you aim to build long-term relationships, not only with potential clients but also with LION.

What will you do? Bring LION's diverse product portfolio to life for customers in your region, both directly and through our dealer network. With your strategic Sales & Country Plans, you set the course for success and track your results using Salesforce.

Your profile

We're looking for ambitious individuals ready to step into a dynamic global sales role. While a bachelor's degree is preferred, we value practical experience and a drive to learn. If you're a recent graduate or early in your career with a passion for sales and technology, this could be your launchpad into international business! Key qualities we're seeking :

• Pro-activity and commerciality!
• A bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience demonstrating strong analytical and practical skills
• Interest in firefighting, public safety, or mechanical industries – prior knowledge is a plus, but not required;
• Strong organizational skills and a proactive, problem-solving mindset;
• Eagerness to learn about sales strategies for both end-users and dealer networks;
• Excellent communication skills in Dutch and English – additional languages like French or German are an advantage.

This role offers an exciting opportunity to transition from working solely in the Netherlands to an international career. You'll have the chance to travel up to 50% of the time, exploring new cultures and building a global network. We provide comprehensive training and support to help you develop the skills needed for success in international sales. If you're looking to challenge yourself, grow professionally, and make an impact on a global scale, we want to hear from you.
