Technical Sales Board lists technical and industrial sales jobs only – no retail, no call centre, no software subscriptions.

What you see here is what is open right now.
Southern Europe covers Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, and Malta – one search instead of 6 separate ones, which is how most sales territories are cut anyway.
What employers expect from a Head of Sales
A head of sales leads the sales organisation of a manufacturer or technical distributor – regional and area managers, key account managers and inside sales – and reports to the managing board.
A head of sales leads the people who carry the number. The job is part coach, part closer: weekly pipeline reviews, joint visits on decisive deals, recruiting and developing area and key account managers, and turning a strategy into territories, targets and a bonus plan that works. Most employers expect several years of own field success in a comparable product world before the first leadership role, plus a steady hand with CRM discipline and forecasting.
Salary and compensation
Few of these ads state a salary. Industrial employers often discuss pay in the first interview – our salary benchmarks show what to expect: More on median, range and source: what a Head of Sales earns across Europe.
