European Markets | Go-to-Market Strategy | International Field Coaching | Sales Performance
Turn insight into action - and help sales teams across Europe perform at their best
This is an exciting international opportunity for an experienced sales performance, business development or sales enablement professional to play a key role in implementing our Go-to-Market strategy across our European markets.
As our Group Existing Customer Growth Lead (m/w/d), you’ll work directly with selected Account Management and Key Account Management teams, spending focused periods in each market to build momentum, strengthen sales disciplines and accelerate performance.
This is not a role conducted from behind a desk. You’ll be visible in our branches, alongside our teams and out in the field with customers. You’ll combine CRM insight, performance data and real-world observation to understand what is driving results - and provide practical, real-time coaching that helps teams improve.
Reporting to the Group Existing Customer Growth Director, this highly visible role offers frequent European travel and the opportunity to make a measurable impact across an international business.

You’ll help Account Managers strengthen their customer conversations, identify relevant growth opportunities and apply our sales methodology consistently - balancing commercial ambition with genuine value for the customer.
