You will be part of our competent sales organisation of 120 dedicated colleagues working from 11 sales offices around the world. You will be working closely with our sales managers across all markets as well as our customer service team, product management, and regulatory affairs to coordinate internally and follow up.

You have a structured approach and can prioritize your work as well as effectively manage multiple tasks at the same time as two days will not be the same, and priorities may change quickly.

You are recognised as a self-starter with a visionary mindset – looking for new ways to optimise current procedures. As you will be part of - and over time maybe take lead - on various projects in sales, it is important that you are a people person and have a structured and result oriented way of working - you get excited when seeing you and your colleagues succeed together.
