Technical Sales Manager – Nordics
**Sweden | Remote | €80,000–€100,000 + Bonus | Consultancy**
Akkar is supporting an established European technology manufacturer to appoint a Technical Sales Manager for the Nordic region.
The business develops advanced sensing and detection technology for intelligent infrastructure applications and is looking to strengthen its commercial presence across Northern Europe.
This is a market-development role with Sweden as the primary focus, alongside responsibility for opportunities across the wider Nordic region. There is already some customer activity to build from, but the successful candidate will have considerable freedom to develop the market and establish new customer relationships.
The opportunity
You will take ownership of business development across your territory, identifying prospective customers and managing opportunities from initial engagement through technical discussions, proposals and commercial close.
You'll work remotely from Sweden, supported by established European sales, product and engineering teams.
This is not a traditional account-management role. We're looking for someone who enjoys opening doors, creating opportunities and developing a technical market over the longer term.
What we're looking for
- Technical or engineering background, academically or through relevant industry experience
- B2B technical sales or business development experience
- Demonstrable new-business/hunter mentality
- Experience selling complex technical products, systems or solutions
- Confidence engaging both technical and commercial stakeholders
- Comfortable operating autonomously and taking ownership of a territory
- Fluent Swedish and strong English
- Based in Sweden with willingness to travel when required
Relevant backgrounds could include sensors, electronics, automation, test & measurement, industrial technology, intelligent infrastructure or related technical markets. Direct sector experience is advantageous but not essential.
Package
- The opportunity is structured on a self-employed consultancy basis, contracting directly with the European business.
- €80,000–€100,000 annual fixed consultancy budget + performance-related bonus.
This could particularly suit someone who has reached a strong level within technical sales but wants greater autonomy and the opportunity to build a market rather than inherit an established territory.
