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.

Industrial technology covers the components and systems that make factories run – automation, drives, sensors, robotics, pneumatics and hydraulics, pumps and valves. Selling it combines application know-how with volume business at OEMs.

Industrial technology is sold twice: first the design-in at the machine builder or plant engineer, then the volume business that follows. Sales roles therefore combine application consulting with account development, and many employers work with both direct sales and distribution partners. Knowledge of automation, drives or fluid technology is the entry ticket; understanding the customer’s machine is what wins the socket.
