General Manager

All over the world, professionals from industry and trade rely on respiratory and hearing protection from Moldex. To further expand this leading position in the market, we develop, manufacture and distribute our products in accordance with European standards - with team spirit, fairness and new ideas.
Moldex is an international company with 400 employees in eight (8) regions/markets in Europe.

Are You currently working as a Sales Manager, Category Manager, Product Manager or in a similar role in a relevant industry, ready to take the next step?
Then this might be Your chance! MOLDEX are looking for a new General Manager for the Nordic region - a male or female General Manager probably in his or her 40's is a ONE vision we have, but this is not an absolute necessity. We have other thoughts as well of course!

THE POSITION
As General Manager Nordic you are responsible for the markets in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Island, Finland and report to our CEO in Germany.
The Nordic HQ is situated in Helsingborg, Sweden.
As our new GM you are responsible for the well being of our 3-4 employees in the region, for our relationships with customers/partners and for making sure that we obtain a sustainable sales growth as well as for our brand and for the results in the Nordic region.

You will be a role model and lead your employees in the field as well as in the office. You will lead in a cooperative and motivating way, ensuring the teams development.
You will support operational sales activities and maintain an open and trusting communication style.

You analyze the dynamic situation on the PPE market with foresights to make the right decisions for the future.
