Do you want to help build Foamit's next phase of international growth?

We are looking for an international, inspiring and goal-oriented Global Sales Director to lead and develop the group's sales. The role combines strategic commercial leadership, building new markets and hands-on sales work in Finland, the other Nordic countries and Europe.

The Global Sales Director is a key management team role in Foamit's growth. You are responsible for developing and growing the group's sales and lead the sales and sales team of Foamit Finland.

The role is very hands-on. You are actively involved with customers and the market while building a shared commercial direction, developing sales operating models and strengthening sales forecasting.

You are a member of the Foamit Oyj management team and report to the CEO. For Finnish sales you report to the country manager of Foamit Finland. The sales managers of Sweden and Norway report to local country managers, so the role emphasises collaboration, influence and building a shared commercial direction across national borders.

The Finnish sales team has four people, three of whom work in Vantaa and one in Forssa. You work closely with the management of the country companies, the sales and production teams, and international partners. Key stakeholders at the customer interface are B2B and B2G customers in infrastructure and building construction, as well as design offices.

• You lead Foamit's international sales and build growth in Finland, the other Nordic countries and Europe.

• You are responsible for sales in Foamit Finland and for managing a sales team of four people.

• You develop export sales, new markets and commercial operating models.

• You identify new products, applications and growth opportunities together with the organisation.

• You build long-term customer and partnership relationships and actively take part in sales work yourself.

• You develop shared sales practices, reporting and forecasting.

• At least 10 years' experience in B2B or B2G sales, with a proven track record of managing sales.

• Experience in building international sales and profitable growth.

• At least five years' experience in leading teams.

• Strategic vision combined with hands-on commercial work.

• Ability to analyse markets, identify growth opportunities and build long-term customer relationships.

• Fluent Finnish and English. Skills in other Nordic languages are considered an advantage.

• A suitable higher education degree, for example in business, engineering or industrial management.

Experience in building products, civil engineering or building construction is a strong advantage. However, a strong track record in leading international commercial growth is more important than education or a specific industry background.

You will have a key role in a growing and internationalising circular economy company, and the opportunity to directly influence Foamit's next growth phase.

Foamit is targeting EUR 100 million in revenue and EBITDA above 20%. Growth is being built by strengthening business in the Nordics and expanding into international markets. The Global Sales Director has a key role in delivering this growth.

The role offers broad responsibility, a place on the Foamit Oyj management team, and the opportunity to build international business from a strong base. We offer a permanent employment contract, competitive remuneration and comprehensive employment benefits.

Foamit's values are value creation, responsibility, partnership and courage. If these also describe the way you work, we want to hear from you.

Location: Greater Helsinki area, office at Technopolis Vantaa
Working model: usually two days in the office and three days remote, negotiable
Travel: monthly in the Nordics and elsewhere in Europe
