Regional Sales Director - Northern Europe

What matters now is ownership and influence. The chance to lead regional growth, shape revenue strategy, and build a high-performing team around you. You want visibility at leadership level, stronger alignment across product and delivery, and the authority to drive results rather than simply carry accountability for them. 

This Regional Sales Director role puts you at the centre of growth across a business focused on data-driven manufacturing and analytics. You’ll lead regional sales performance, develop strategy, and help shape how enterprise customers adopt technology that improves industrial operations. For someone motivated by building teams, influencing direction, and seeing the impact of their decisions in real time, there’s real scope to make your mark here. 
 

Who’s it for and what’s in it for you? 

Our client builds tools that help people make smarter decisions with data - improving products, streamlining processes or solving complex problems. Their work turns messy information into clear answers that businesses can actually act on, and it’s used everywhere from healthcare to manufacturing. It’s the kind of place where curiosity is valued, practical problem solving matters, and the work you do has a real impact on how things are made, run and improved every day. 

When you join them, you'll get access to a solid benefits package. Get your future sorted now with retirement planning and pension benefits. Keep you and your loved ones healthy with BUPA private healthcare and access to an EAP. And enjoy some nice-to-haves too, like a monthly fitness stipend, hybrid working, and annual leave that's more generous than the norm.?
