Join our growing Health & Nutrition business

At Engelhardt, we are looking for a commercially driven Sales Manager to help us expand our Health & Nutrition business unit. We assist consumer brand owners and food companies in developing products within food supplements, meal replacements, sports nutrition, plant-based nutrition, and functional foods. We support our customers from concept and formulation through production, packaging, and launch.

Job description

As our Sales Manager, you will develop new customers and selected targeted accounts in Sweden and the Nordic region, while also supporting selected European growth opportunities. The role is based in Västra Frölunda, with a hybrid working setup.

Key responsibilities

• Identify and develop new business opportunities within health and nutrition.
• Build a structured pipeline of potential customers and targeted accounts in Sweden, the Nordic region and selected European markets.
• Work closely with product development, production, suppliers and customer teams.
• Turn customer needs into commercial product development projects.
• Represent the company in customer meetings, trade fairs and industry networks.
• Support long‑term partnerships with consumer brand owners and food companies.

You thrive in a client‑facing environment, enjoying the process of building relationships and delivering tailored, end‑to‑end solutions that meet each customer's unique needs. This role requires strong short‑ and long‑term planning skills, as you will manage your own schedule in alignment with a detailed market and activity plan. You will report directly to Business Line Management, and your success will be measured by the growth and long‑term health of your accounts.

This position offers high flexibility; you can be based either out of our office in Västra Frölunda or work from a home office. You are expected to be in the field meeting customers approximately three to four days a week. The remaining days will be spent at the office focusing on prospecting, administration, and strategic planning.

What We Offer

We offer a varied and dynamic Sales Manager position in an environment that encourages both personal and professional growth, where your performance and results are highly rewarded. In this role, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with specialists across multiple fields to develop innovative solutions and significantly expand your national and international network.

Your compensation and benefits package will include:

• A competitive fixed monthly salary and an annual bonus scheme.
• A company car.
• A high degree of autonomy, allowing you to manage and plan your own time and activities.

Experience required

We are looking for an ambitious professional with the right commercial mindset and personal qualities to gradually grow into the role of Sales Manager. You are someone who genuinely puts the customer first and thrives on developing long‑term business relationships. Your background may be within food ingredients, food supplements, contract manufacturing, private label, distribution, sports nutrition, or a similar B2B environment. Above all, we place great emphasis on your commercial drive, curiosity, structured approach, and ability to build lasting trust.

• Minimum 3‑5 years of B2B sales experience in a relevant field.
• Relevant post‑secondary education.
• Experience in new business development or targeted account development.
• Ability to build trust with customers and manage longer sales processes.
• Strong commercial drive and ability to work independently.
• Good communication and presentation skills.
• Fluent Swedish and English, spoken and written.
• Good computer skills and ability to work in Office, CRM and digital sales tools.
• Valid category B driving licence.
• Willingness and flexibility to travel frequently for customer visits.

Meriting experience

• Experience from food ingredients, food supplements, nutrition, health products or private label manufacturing.
• Experience in project sales or solution‑based selling.
• Experience working with technical products or product development projects.
• German or another European language.
• Experience from international sales, export sales or distributor/agent collaboration.
• Established network in Sweden, the Nordic region, or the DACH region with relevant business contacts in the food, health, or nutrition sectors.

Your personal qualities

To succeed as our Sales Manager, it is important that you are a person who is stimulated by visiting especially new customers and who has a lot of drive and is proactive. You enjoy negotiating and have the ability to help the customer get the best product/solution. It is important that you are a team player who sees the benefits for the entire company, while at the same time being able to work independently. Of course you share our core values.
