This is a unique opportunity to shape strategy, grow a high-potential business, and build the partnerships and team that will define Traka's future success in the region.

If you thrive in growth environments, enjoy turning opportunities into long-term business success, and want the freedom to make a real impact, we'd love to hear from you.

Your decisions will shape our regional strategy, strengthen our market presence, and help customers improve security, accountability and operational efficiency through innovative technology solutions.

Reporting to the Regional Director for Traka Nordic & DACH, you will represent the region in wider business discussions and help shape the future direction of the business. You'll join at an exciting stage of growth, leading a small but ambitious team and helping build the organisation, capabilities and market presence needed for the next phase of expansion.

Working across a network of resellers, system integrators, OEM partners and ASSA ABLOY businesses, you will create opportunities, strengthen strategic relationships and accelerate sustainable growth across the region.

• Proven success leading commercial growth in B2B environments, ideally through partner and indirect sales channels
• Experience managing and developing teams within a growing organisation
• Strong strategic thinking combined with a hands-on approach to execution and business development
• Fluency in both German and English, with the flexibility to travel across the DACH region and internationally when required
