This position is based across Europe. The place of residence is flexible within Europe, for example in Scandinavia, Southern Europe or the DACH region. What matters is your market presence and willingness to travel, not your physical location.

• Collaborate closely with Operations and Technical teams to ensure feasibility, costing accuracy and smooth project handover
• Work with Marketing to support positioning, presentations, and go-to-market initiatives
• Negotiate commercial terms and ensure profitability targets are achieved
• Monitor market developments, competitor activity and emerging trends
• Represent ARIAN at international client meetings

Key Objectives & Success Measures

• Achievement of annual sales and profit targets
• Growth of new international accounts
• Sustainable revenue development and margin performance
• Successful onboarding of new clients into ARIAN’s production and operational structure
• Strong collaboration across internal departments

Requirements

• Proven track record in international B2B sales, ideally within print, POS, retail or manufacturing environments
• Demonstrated success in new client acquisition
• Strong commercial acumen and negotiation skills
• Technical understanding of production processes and materials
• Strategic mindset with hands-on execution capability
• Excellent English skills; additional languages are an advantage
