Sales Director – Radars for Defence and Space

Are you a first-class marketeer of advanced high-value technical products?
Weibel Scientific is the world’s leading manufacturer of highly advanced instrumentation radars for testing and measuring airborne objects. The radars are used at military proving grounds for development and verification of weapon systems and munitions and in the space industry for range safety and space situational awareness. We develop and manufacture all systems inhouse at our headquarter in Allerød, Denmark and 99 percent of the company’s products are exported.

Weibel is looking for a Sales Director to join our existing group of regional Sales Directors. If you have experience from technical product sales, project sales, engineering, business-to-business or business-to-government; and consider yourself to be, or have the potential to become, a strong technical marketeer, then you may be what we are looking for.

Weibel’s instrumentation radars are widely recognized as being in a class of its own and Weibel is by far the global market leader within the industry. We have achieved strong growth every year for the last decade and are committed to stay ahead of competition through continuous development of new models, features and performance characteristics, making Weibel’s radars a safe bet for its loyal customer base.

Sales of instrumentation radars is challenging due to the advanced technology and complexity of the product.

It is a heavyweight business and to succeed in the role as Sales Director you must have a good technical understanding while at the same time having a commercial mindset. A successful Sales Director will typically have an engineering background from a radar-relevant domain such as microwave, telecommunications, electrical engineering, or processing software.
