- Delivering the commercial strategy set by senior leadership at local level, translating it into clear plans, targets and measurable results
- Driving direct, project-based sales to main contractors and acting as a genuine hunter
- Taking full ownership of forecasting, reporting, budgets and pipeline through CRM and data, with a strong grasp of P&L and EBITDA performance
- Leading commercial negotiations, pricing and technical quotations across capital equipment and technical product solutions
