Key responsibilities:

• Support LBLs in the execution of business strategy, ensuring alignment with regional and global objectives.
• Develop the QCS expertise of local sales teams by engaging in front-end sales activities and co-creating sales strategies tailored to regional customer needs.
• Articulate and promote ABB's value proposition for QCS both internally and externally, creating added value for customers and ABB. Apply effective sales techniques to support successful outcomes of proposals, contracts, and negotiations.

• A minimum of 5 years' experience in sales or business development within the process industry, automation, or digital solutions space. Experience in the Pulp & Paper sector and specifically in Quality Control Systems is highly preferred.
• A proven track record of value-based selling and a deep commercial understanding of solution selling in industrial environments.
• Strong influencing skills and the ability to collaborate effectively in a matrixed, global organization. You are comfortable leading through influence rather than authority.
• A mindset geared toward thought leadership within the QCS and P&P domains, or the willingness to grow into such a role.
• A bachelor's degree in Engineering, Business, Economics, or a related field.
• Fluency in English (written and spoken) is required; additional European languages such as German, French, Swedish, or Spanish are considered an advantage.
