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.

Technical sales managers combine deep product knowledge with commercial responsibility: they own complex offers, support field sales in demanding projects and often manage a product line commercially.

Technical sales managers sell products that need explaining. They translate customer requirements into specifications, lead technical clarification with engineering, prepare and defend offers and stay involved until commissioning. An engineering degree or a technician qualification is usually required; what makes the difference is the ability to move a technical discussion towards a commercial decision.

By industry, most of these jobs come from Industrial Technology (4), Building Technology (4), Machinery (3), Energy (3), and Medical Technology (3).

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.
