Corporate jobs in Germany

Do you thrive on shaping strategy and driving growth in a fast-changing market? Ready to lead a region where innovation meets customer partnership? At Seco, we’re now looking for a Sales Director who turns vision into action and inspires teams to deliver exceptional results.

Seco Tools is more than a cutting tool provider – we’re a people company in the machining business. For over 80 years, we’ve partnered with customers across industries to create solutions that build planes, trains, automobiles, and much more. Our Asia Pacific team plays a critical role in delivering this promise, combining best-in-class products with deep expertise and service. You’ll join a collaborative global Sales Leadership Team, working closely with colleagues who share a passion for innovation and customer success.

As Regional Sales Director, you own the sales performance for Asia Pacific and lead the development and execution of a regional strategy that drives sustainable growth and profitability. This role is about leadership, collaboration, and impact – turning global priorities into regional success stories. You also act as a change ambassador, building strong cross‑functional partnerships with Marketing, Business Development, Sales Operations, and PMO to accelerate growth and enhance the customer’s experience.

• Shape and implement a comprehensive regional sales strategy aligned with global objectives.
• Lead and develop a high‑performing regional management team, fostering accountability and innovation.
• Drive business planning, pricing, and product mix decisions to maximize market share and profitability.
• Partner with Offer & Innovation and Operations to ensure successful product launches and superior delivery performance.
• Monitor performance, refine strategies, and ensure consistent application of Seco’s Sales Way of Working.

You report to the VP Global Sales and can be based in Singapore, Taiwan, or Japan. Expect regular travel across the region to stay close to customers and teams.

You bring extensive experience in industrial B2B sales, ideally in machining or cutting tools, combined with strong technical knowledge of manufacturing processes. You’re comfortable with CRM systems and digital tools, and you understand how to translate data into actionable insights. A master’s degree in engineering, manufacturing technology, or business is preferred, and fluency in English is essential.

Success in this role calls for a strategic thinker who balances vision with execution. You lead with passion and humility, building trust and empowering teams to perform at their best. Collaboration comes naturally, and you thrive in a dynamic environment where adaptability and customer focus are key. Your ability to communicate at all levels and inspire change makes you a true ambassador for Seco’s values.

At Seco, we're united by a spirit of collaboration and a shared curiosity to learn and grow. We take responsibility for our actions, stay focused on our customers, and believe in winning together. For us, it’s also clear that our diversities form an amazing foundation for achieving great results. Curious about our workplace and benefits? Read more on our website.
