Technical Sales Board lists technical and industrial sales jobs only – no retail, no call centre, no software subscriptions. Every ad is classified by role, industry, country and city, by sales style from hunter to key account, by territory, travel share and required languages, and ads that have expired disappear the same day. What you see here is what is open right now.

Automotive and mobility sales means supplying OEMs and tier-1s with components, battery systems, production equipment and test technology – nomination cycles run for years, volumes are huge and technical project management is part of the job.

Automotive sales runs on nominations: a project is won years before start of production and then delivers volume for the life of the vehicle platform. Sales and key account managers lead RFQs, coordinate engineering changes and negotiate annual price reductions with professional purchasing organisations. Experience with OEM or tier-1 processes, quality requirements and the shift to electric drivetrains is what employers pay a premium for.

The roles advertised most often here are Key Account Manager (4), Business Development Manager (3), and After-Sales & Service Sales Manager (3).

Key account managers look after a small number of strategic customers – frame contracts, annual price negotiations and an international account team – and grow the share of wallet.

14% of the ads state a salary: base pay ranges from €40,365 to €117,646 per year, with a median of €75,000. Variable pay and, in field roles, a company car usually come on top. More on median, range and source: technical sales salary benchmarks by role, industry and country.
