Sales directors own the commercial strategy of an industrial business unit: targets, pricing, channel mix and the team that delivers them. Most positions ask for a track record in leading international sales organisations for technical products.

Employers hiring a sales director look for someone who has already run a sales organisation through a change: a new market, a new channel, a reorganisation after an acquisition. Expect to own the revenue plan, the pricing corridor and the structure of the team, to report to the managing director or the board and to be measured on order intake, margin and forecast accuracy. Industrial companies value directors who still visit key customers themselves and who can discuss a machine concept or a service contract without calling for an engineer.

Few of these ads state a salary.
