Are you a born persuader with a book full of carpenter business contacts? 💼  

We are looking for a Head of Professional Sales to join the Copenhagen office - as a carpentry sales superstar to help us get a bite of the B2B 🍰 by building partnerships that knock the nails right out of the bark in the Nordics 🇩🇰 🇸🇪 🇸🇯.  

FYI: Be aware that this is not a leadership role, and you do not lead a team. You are the first one we hire and you build this by your self.

The Head of Professional Sales will play a pivotal and hands-on role in driving business growth by actively engaging with potential partners, directly overseeing the onboarding process, and building strong, long-lasting relationships with carpenters and installation professionals. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience from the partner sales within the windows and door industry in the Nordics, exceptional communication- and interpersonal skills, and a proven track record in sales and partnership development. We will provide all the necessary tools and support to help you succeed, but it's up to you to bring the charm, personality and industry knowledge that seals the deal 🪟🪚

Key Responsibilities:

• Prospect and Onboard: Actively identify, engage with, and onboard new carpenters and installation professionals to become authorized partners for Klar's windows and door product portfolio and adhere to Klar’s quality guidance for installation.

• Build and Maintain Relationships: Establish and nurture long-term relationships with key carpenters, contractors, and industry professionals to drive sales and repeat business.

• Outreach and Partnership Development: Implement outreach strategies to expand Klar's network of professional partners, focusing on developing strong and mutually beneficial partnerships.

• Product Knowledge: Maintain a deep understanding of Klar's product offerings to effectively communicate features, benefits, and installation processes to partners.

• Training and Support: Provide training and support to new partners, ensuring they have the necessary knowledge and resources to successfully install and sell Klar products.

• Market Availability: Ensure Klar’s products are available in professional builders markets and other relevant sales channels for industry professionals.

• Sales Reporting: Prepare sales reports and forecasts, track progress towards goals, and make data-driven decisions to adjust strategies as necessary.

• Collaborate with Internal Teams: Work closely with the marketing, product development, and customer service teams to ensure alignment and support for partner needs.

Qualifications:

• Fluency in Danish, close to native level, is a requirement for this position - both oral and written. Understanding of Swedish and Norwegian is a great advantage. 

• Experience: This is a senior position! We are seeking someone with extensive professional sales experience, preferably within the windows and doors industry.

• Industry Knowledge: Extensive understanding of the carpentry and installation sectors, with a robust network of industry contacts.

• Sales Skills: Proven track record of achieving and exceeding sales targets, with excellent negotiation and closing skills.

• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present and explain product features and benefits effectively to diverse audiences. 

• Travel: Willingness to travel frequently to meet with potential partners and attend industry events.

• 5 weeks of vacation 🏝

• 1 Care Day each quarter - a day JUST for you where you can do whatever you would like to 💙
