• Identify Opportunities: Conduct market analysis to uncover new business prospects, monitor competitive landscapes, and stay ahead of emerging trends in industrial automation, IoT, and communication technologies.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with product development, engineering, and service delivery teams to ensure seamless project execution and customer satisfaction.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Automation, or related), Business Administration, Marketing, or similar. A Master’s degree is a plus.
• 8–10 years of progressive sales and marketing experience in industrial automation, communications, or related technology services.
• Proven success in exceeding sales targets and driving revenue growth in a regional capacity.
• Deep understanding of industrial automation technologies (PLCs, SCADA, robotics, IIoT), communication networks (industrial Ethernet, wireless), and service models.
• Strategic thinking, strong business acumen, exceptional communication, presentation, and negotiation abilities.
• Experience managing complex sales cycles and large‑scale projects.
• Ability to work independently in a fast‑paced environment and willingness to travel extensively within the region.
• Proficiency in CRM systems (e.g., Salesforce) and Microsoft Office Suite.
