We are looking for a driven and commercially minded Sales Manager to identify new business opportunities, build long-term customer partnerships, and deliver high-quality technical audio solutions that meet customer needs. In this highly visible, customer-facing role, you will proactively sell Sennheiser and Neumann products to a diverse customer base including Resellers, Dealers, Integrators, Distributors, National Accounts, and End Users.
About The Role
You will act as the primary point of contact for customers, acquiring new business while strengthening existing relationships, planning and executing sales activity aligned with corporate strategy, and leading pricing and contract negotiations. You will strategically develop accounts by analysing customer needs, market trends, and competitor activity, creating tailored development plans to drive growth, increase market share, and exceed territory and sub-regional sales targets and KPIs. Working closely with internal sales and technical teams, you will manage the order process, provide customer support and technical guidance, represent the brand at customer events and trade shows, and ensure all customer interactions and opportunities are accurately captured in the CRM system.
