What We're Looking For

  • 5–10+ years of B2B sales experience, including solid time in the TIC industry (inspection, testing, or auditing) selling into consumer goods
  • At least 2 years directly managing a sales team – coaching, evaluating, and developing people
  • Strong grasp of the consumer goods supply chain (sourcing, trading, manufacturing, retail compliance)
  • Comfortable engaging senior stakeholders – procurement heads, quality directors, C-level buyers
  • Fluent English required; Spanish and/or Dutch are a strong plus
  • Open to regular travel across Western Europe

Nice to Have
