Area Segment Manager Plastics - Europe

  • Full-time

Company Description

Why TOMRA?

TOMRA is a world leader in optical and electronic sorting equipment. TOMRA Sorting Solutions is a dynamic company with an outstanding product line and an excellent level of customer satisfaction.

Why is it worthwhile to start and stay at TOMRA? Quite simply, we are a steadily growing international company that has retained its family atmosphere. Our corporate culture is Norwegian, which means there is no hierarchical thinking. If you are interested in titles and hierarchy you are at the wrong place here. We see a bright future in economic terms. Aside from that, it´s nice to know that our recycling machines are helping to make the world cleaner.

At TOMRA, we place significant emphasis on maximizing resource value and utilization, which contributes to the concept of the circular economy: an economic system designed to keep products, components and materials at their highest value throughout their life cycles within a closed loop.

Technology plays a crucial role in achieving this, with advances in certain fields helping to bring about new approaches that can help maximize the value of resources and – crucially – reduce waste.

OUR ROLE

TOMRA’s sensor-based solutions play a key role in optimizing resource productivity, particularly in the fields of waste management and recycling, where sensor-based technology can be used to increase precision and streamline processes.

To achieve the ambitious aim of a circular economy, it is necessary to employ state-of-the-art approaches that push boundaries, and TOMRA’s reverse vending and waste sorting solutions help to achieve this by recovering materials and providing valuable insight into the composition of these materials.

The result is a greater understanding of where efficiencies can be made to minimize costs and waste, and better utilize resources within a closed loop – further mitigating the impact of CO2 and other emissions and inefficiencies.

Job Description

The position requires a strong experience in direct sales of capital industrial equipment, with great relational skills and technical predisposition. The ability to create and implement successful sales strategies to exploit current and future trends, as well as to deeply understand, research and share specific market knowledge, will be a key part of the role.

  • Create and execute sales strategies to achieve the company’s objectives in the assigned areas, either autonomously or in coordination with the local slaes structure.
  • Support and guide the sales team by providing key information about applications, competitors, prices and tactics in order to win projects
  • Scout for leads to generate opportunities in the assigned area and explore different market sub-segments
  • Create relevant offers and negotiate with customers

  • Report an accurate forecast into the CRM and give long term visibility to the company for implementing the right strategy
