Now the journey continues into Europe, and this is where you come in. As an international sales director, you'll have a key role in our continued expansion. You'll be the person who makes people, markets, and businesses grow together. Through your leadership, you'll create the conditions for increased sales, strong distributor networks, and a customer experience that's consistent regardless of which country our customers encounter us in.

Your Focus Your mission is to continue establishing Work System's concept in the European market. Over the coming years, the focus is on creating sales growth, strengthening brand awareness, and building a long-term sustainable organization. Profitability is of course important, but during the growth phase, growth itself is the highest priority. You'll lead country managers, salespeople, and distributors, helping them develop both their business and their local organizations. Through hands-on leadership, you'll coach people toward clear goals, follow up on results, and ensure that everyone works according to Work System's concept and sales model. A significant part of your work takes place in the market. Travel is a natural part of the role and an important tool for creating results. By being close to operations, you'll support salespeople in customer dialogues, develop distributors, and strengthen relationships with partners and customers. At the same time, you'll ensure that our ways of working and concept are implemented consistently, which contributes to a strong corporate culture and a consistent customer experience across all markets. The role also involves close collaboration with our experienced Operations Manager on establishments, expansion, and business development. What We're Looking For We believe you have experience leading multiple operations simultaneously, where sales and operational management go hand in hand. Perhaps you come from a workshop chain, a vehicle-related service business, a retail chain, or another concept-driven organization. You've likely worked as a regional manager, country manager, export manager, or business area manager and are experienced in developing both people and business through other leaders. You also have your own experience with proactive B2B sales and know what it takes to create activity, build relationships, and develop long-term business. Experience from the vehicle industry is a merit, but not decisive. The most important thing is that you have documented experience building strong teams, creating growth, and developing operations across multiple markets. We believe you have a few years of experience from a similar role, but we place at least equal weight on your personality, your drive, and your development potential. If you don't check every box but feel the role is right for you, we'd love to hear from you. Is This the Right Place for You? You're a leader who builds trust. You inspire, challenge, and follow up while making people want to develop. You thrive in an international environment where no two weeks are the same and where relationships are built through personal meetings. Travel is a natural part of your day, and you look forward to spending most of the week in the market. For you, that's where the best deals and strongest teams are created. Good to Know Based in Tenhult. If your base is outside Tenhult, you're expected to work from headquarters at least once per month. You'll report to the CEO and be part of the management team. The role involves travel within Europe, typically 3–4 days per week. Full-time permanent employment with fixed monthly salary plus profit sharing. Show your interest by August 16 at the latest.
