Alongside your commercial responsibilities, you will lead and develop a small team of experienced technical laser sales professionals, ensuring they are supported, motivated, and focused on achieving ambitious targets.

National and International travel will form a significant part of this role, requiring regular visits to our Parent Company and its subsidiaries, customers, distributors, industry exhibitions, and emerging markets across Europe, North America, Asia, and other global territories.
