Job description

We are looking for a commercial leader who can take the company’s international growth to the next level — while leading the existing sales organization in Türkiye, identifying new markets, building market-entry strategies and driving sustainable business development across geographies.

This role will work closely with senior management and existing global teams, providing direction on market priorities, commercial opportunities and international sales development, while ensuring alignment between Türkiye, existing international operations and newly targeted markets.

The ideal profile will bring:

• Significant experience in industrial / machinery / engineered products
• A strong track record in international sales and business development, with hands-on experience in developing new markets
• Experience leading and developing an established sales organization in Türkiye
• Proven exposure to international expansion, market entry and country/region development strategies
• The ability to work effectively with senior management and global commercial teams, translating business priorities into market actions
• Experience managing complex, technical and project-driven sales cycles across multiple geographies
• Strong commercial and strategic perspective, with the ability to balance existing business performance with new market creation
• Advanced English and the ability to operate confidently in an international business environment

This is an opportunity for a leader who will not simply manage an existing sales structure, but will play a key role in shaping where the business goes next internationally.

If this opportunity is relevant to your background, or if you know someone who may be a strong fit, I would be happy to connect and share further details.
