What employers expect from a Managing Director Sales
Managing directors with a sales focus run the sales subsidiary or business unit of an industrial group – with full P&L responsibility and a strong emphasis on market development.
Managing directors with a sales focus are hired to grow a subsidiary or a mid-sized industrial company commercially. Beyond sales leadership the role covers budget, legal responsibility, personnel and the relationship with shareholders or the group. Candidates usually come from a sales director or country manager position and bring a record of profitable growth, not just revenue.
Selling in Automotive
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.

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 Managing Director Sales earns across Europe.
A company car is mentioned in 100% of the ads, variable pay in 0%.
