Do you want to combine business development, customer relationships, and project work in Swedish industry?
At KPRO, we don't just sell products. We participate in development and manufacture custom cable and electronics solutions that help our customers take their products from idea to finished product.
We collaborate with both Swedish and international customers and build relationships with leading companies on a global market.
This recruitment is conducted in collaboration with Jefferson Wells, but you will be directly employed by KPRO.
We are now looking for a Business Development Manager who wants to help develop both existing and new customers while becoming an important part of our team.
Why people thrive at KPRO
There are companies that talk about culture and there are companies that live it. KPRO belongs to the latter category.
We are around 50 employees with a turnover of approximately 80 million and characterized by short decision-making processes, great commitment, and strong team spirit. Employee turnover is low and many choose to stay with us for a long time. It's not just about exciting customers and technology, but about being part of a workplace where people thrive and help each other succeed.
Your role
As a Business Development Manager, you are responsible for creating new business opportunities and developing existing customer relationships within the manufacturing industry. You work with both smaller and larger customers within our segments including Automation, Electrification, Medical, Power Distribution, Traction, Defence, and Machinery & Industry.
This is not a traditional sales position where you hand over the business once the order is signed. You follow certain customers through the initial phases of the project and serve as the link between customer, engineering, and production before handoff to the internal organization.
The role suits you if you want to be more than just a salesperson, even though your primary focus is to create new business and collaborations. You want to understand customer needs, be part of the solution, and help projects get off to a good start. To support you, you have experienced technical inside sales staff and an engineering and production organization with high drive.
