You will have global responsibility for the metal segment and play an important role in developing the business and strengthening its market position.
About the Role
As Business Area Manager Metal, you will have overall commercial responsibility for the business area. You will work both strategically and operatively with a focus on developing the business, customer relationships, and the organization.
The role involves close collaboration with customers and internal functions, where you work together with other parts of the operation to create a competitive and long-term sustainable business.
You will have a central role in the continued development of the business area and will have the opportunity to influence both working methods and commercial direction. The role also includes leading and developing the sales organization within metal.
The position requires presence in the operations in both Munkfors and Åmål, and placement and arrangement will be discussed with the right candidate.
