JOB DESCRIPTION

Export Sales Manager, International Sales Manager - medical equipment, healthcare. As our Export Sales Manager, you’ll take responsibility for developing international sales across English and Spanish-speaking overseas territories. This combines existing distributor and key account management with significant new business development. You’ll inherit established relationships and significant existing business, including major distributor accounts in markets such as Mexico and Puerto Rico, but a major part of your role will be identifying new opportunities, appointing distributors and opening new international markets.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Manage and grow relationships with existing international distributors and key accounts.
• Identify and develop new export markets, distributors, agents and commercial partners.
• Drive international new business development across English and Spanish-speaking territories.
• Build sustainable distributor networks capable of delivering long-term growth.

• Native-level or exceptional professional English.
• The flexibility to undertake regular international travel and visit the company’s headquarters in France.

Ideally, you’ll have experience within medical devices, medical equipment, capital equipment or another technical B2B product environment. However, medical experience isn’t essential. We’re particularly interested in strong export sales professionals who have successfully built distributor networks and developed international territories, as product knowledge can be taught.

French language skills would be advantageous for communication with colleagues at headquarters, but are not essential.

THE COMPANY

We are an established international medical equipment manufacturer with approximately 150 employees, manufacturing and supplying products to global healthcare settings. Established in France in 1990, the business has developed an increasingly international footprint, with established operations and local teams across markets including the UK, Belgium and Germany.
