As Area Sales Manager, you will take ownership of one of KUKA's most important sales territories, covering the Mälardalen region and northern Sweden. While the territory is geographically large, the majority of customers are located within the Mälardalen region.
In this role you will be responsible for developing business with industrial end customers, automation system integrators and machines builders (OEM's), creating new opportunities while strengthening existing customer relationships.

Your responsibilities will include:
- Driving profitable growth across your territory.
- Managing pricing, forecasting and CRM activities.
- Monitoring market trends and identifying new business opportunities.
- Representing KUKA at customer meetings, exhibitions and industry events.
What you need to succeed
You're an experienced B2B sales professional with a background in industrial automation or related technical solutions. You enjoy developing new business, building long-term customer relationships and navigating complex sales processes involving multiple stakeholders. Most importantly, you thrive in an independent role where you take ownership of your territory and commercial results.
We believe you have:
- Several years of B2B sales experience within industrial automation or related technical products
- Experience selling solution-based offerings to industrial customers
- Experience working with manufacturers, automation integrators or OEMs
- Strong commercial and negotiation skills
- A structured approach to pipeline management and CRM
