SALES MANAGER SOUTH AFRICA

We are representing a dynamic European Industrial Group with a strong global footprint in the Steel and Mining supply chain. Our client is a fast-growing leader in providing high-performance consumables and raw materials, known for an agile culture and a highly successful international business model.
Your mission
We are looking for a high-energy Sales Manager to act as the exclusive face of the company in South Africa. This is not a traditional "sales job," but a real strategic role. You will inherit an already profitable market with the objective of expanding and diversifying the business in the rich South African mining sector, and identifying new sourcing opportunities across the region.
Candidate DNA
- The "Hunter" Mindset: 10+ years of commercial experience with a focus on results, not just processes.
- Eclectic & Proactive: You are someone who sees opportunities where others see obstacles. You are comfortable talking to plant managers one day and raw material suppliers the next.
- Sector-Agnostic: Experience in steel, mining, or heavy industry is a plus, but we prioritize character, grit, and initiative over specific technical degrees.
- Ready for the Field: Willingness to travel to industrial hubs and mines to get the job done.
A great opportunity
Our client offers a partnership structure that rewards entrepreneurial success far beyond standard industry packages:
- Rewarding package: A competitive fixed compensation, plus commissions on sales.
- Full Autonomy: Operate as a dedicated freelance partner with full support and direct communication with the Group’s top management.
