WHAT'S THE ROLE?

As an Account Manager, you are the face of Hilti and the very foundation of our direct sales model. This role is all about having meaningful interactions with customers and taking a consultative approach to support them in improving productivity, safety, and sustainability.

WHAT DOES THE ROLE INVOLVE?

In your role as an Account Manager, no day will be the same, but you can expect your days to include:

1. Visiting sites and customers in the field, asking open questions to understand their needs, and listening to turn this into a tailor-made solution.

• Resilience and adaptability – comfortable meeting all levels of customers from site operators to managing directors.

WHO SHOULD APPLY?

We have an excellent mix of people, and some of our best account managers joined us with no experience. So, if you’ve never worked in sales or construction, that’s fine. Success at Hilti depends on teamwork and ability, regardless of background.

Please DO NOT apply for multiple roles. The team will assign you where your skills are the best fit.

Click through the 'Apply Now' button, upload your CV, and answer a couple of short questions – the whole process should take around 90 seconds.

**SALES ONLY**

If you meet the role requirements, you'll be invited to complete a fun online assessment and a short pre-recorded video interview. Please check your junk mail as these can end up there.

If you need support with your application, contact [emailprotected].

The process involves three stages: a first interview with a Regional Manager, a day-in-the-life 'field ride', and a final interview with a Sales Director. Expenses for travel will be covered.

If no suitable role is available now, you will be kept in our talent pool for future opportunities, and we will stay in touch.
