Håkansson Sågblad AB is looking for a Business Unit Manager to join the SAW Division. This is a key position for someone with a strong commercial background in technical B2B sales who enjoys combining business development, leadership and responsibility for business performance.
You will have global responsibility for the Metal business unit and play an important role in developing the business and strengthening its position in the market.
About the role
As Business Unit Manager Metal, you will have overall commercial responsibility for the business unit. You will work both strategically and operationally, with a focus on developing the business, customer relationships and the organization.
The role involves close collaboration with customers and internal functions. Together with other parts of the organization, you will work to build a competitive and sustainable business for the long term.
You will play a central role in the continued development of the business unit, with the opportunity to influence both ways of working and the commercial direction. The role also includes leading and developing the sales organization within Metal.
The position requires a regular presence at our operations in both Munkfors and Åmål. The location and working arrangement will be discussed.
Who are you?
We are looking for someone with a solid commercial background in industrial B2B sales and experience working with technical products and complex business environments.
You have a strong commercial drive and are accustomed to actively developing markets, identifying new business opportunities and opening doors to new customers and partnerships.
You enjoy taking initiative, creating momentum and turning business opportunities into tangible results.
You have a good understanding of what creates long-term value for both customers and the business. We also believe that you have experience working with international customers and markets and are confident in building and developing long-term customer relationships.
To succeed in this role, we believe you have experience in:
Industrial B2B sales within a technical or manufacturing environment
Business development and commercial responsibility
International customers and markets
Leadership and developing people and organisations
Previous experience in the saw blade industry is not required. What matters most is your understanding of industrial business and your ability to operate effectively in a technical and commercial environment.
As a person
We believe you are commercially minded, analytical and results-oriented. You are self-driven and motivated by achieving goals and seeing tangible results from your work.
You are curious, confident and comfortable reaching out to new people and building relationships. You have the persistence to pursue opportunities from initial contact through to results, and you thrive in an environment where you are expected to take an active role and explore new ways forward.
As a leader, you are clear and confident, with the ability to set direction and bring others with you. At the same time, you are receptive to different perspectives and recognise the value of close collaboration with customers, colleagues and other parts of the organisation.
