Job description

Overview

An exceptional opportunity to take on a standalone national sales role and drive significant growth with a global analytical instrumentation leader that protects water quality for municipal & industrial customers across Norway.

This newly created position will suit an experienced water industry focused salesperson who is commercially oriented within a technical environment and has fluent Norwegian & English language skills.

The Opportunity

Motivated by the highest possible stakes of climate change and global health, at Hach (www.hach.com), a Veralto company, we’re working together with customers to find innovative technologies that guarantee the safety of our water and our environment.

Reporting to the Nordics General Manager and operating as part of the regional management team, the Sales Manager Norway is based remotely in Norway (ideally in Oslo) and travels regularly across the country to visit with customers and partners.

The jobholder will accelerate growth by understanding existing/unmet customer needs, supporting and developing our distributors and strategic partners, building strong relationships with engineering consultants (E&C) and end users, gaining deeper insights into the competitive landscape and effectively positioning Hach and our solutions in the Norwegian market.

Hach offers exceptional personal and career development opportunities in a collaborative, high performance ‘winning team’ environment. Whilst the role is currently a standalone, individual contributor position, we’re seeking someone with the aspiration and potential to grow into leadership.

In this role, a typical day will look like:

• Build and manage strong relationships with Norwegian channel partners
• Drive indirect sales revenue by developing joint business plans and monitoring partner performance
• Provide partners with sales support, product training, and marketing resources to accelerate growth
• Identify and recruit new partners to strengthen our footprint in Norway
• Collaborate with Nordic and global sales, marketing, and product teams to deliver consistent go-to-market strategies
• Deliver accurate sales forecasts, pipeline updates, and performance reports
• Ensure partners comply with company policies, pricing structures, and ethical guidelines
• Travel in the territories making regular customer visits
• Run all sales activities utilizing the CRM system (SFDC)
• Build a regional sales plan in alignment with business objectives

The Ideal Candidate

• A strong track record of B2B sales success in the Norwegian water sector (indirect or channel sales exposure is useful but not critical)
• Excellent relationship building and communication skills, including fluent English & Norwegian
• It would be useful to have experience working in large, high performance multinational company environments, with a strong focus on KPIs, forecasting, reporting, data, SFDC, continuous improvement etc
• Proactive, agile, analytical mindset
• Flexible to travel extensively across Norway and occasionally Europe
• Bachelors’ degree would be advantageous, particularly in the field of Chemistry, Environmental Studies or Chemical Engineering
