The job involves traveling across Finland with 2–3 customer meetings per week; the remainder can be done in a hybrid model. Requirements include an engineering education (e.g. mechanical engineering or production management) or equivalent technical background, experience in technical B2B sales or strong motivation to move into it, ability to understand machine-building and manufacturing processes, track record of acquiring new customers and targeted sales, a long-term and systematic work approach, excellent communication and negotiation skills, fluent Finnish and good English, a driving license (B) and ability to use a car for work.
