Sales Director (fmd) Nordics & Baltics

Overview

CCR currently employs around 150 people across the Nordic region, of which approximately eight are involved in sales. In several cases, the sales role also includes operational project execution, which has limited the time and focus dedicated to proactive sales and customer relationship management.

We are now seeking to professionalize and strengthen the sales function, establishing a structured and focused sales organization with clear responsibility for sales performance, customer development, and market growth. The goal is to ensure consistency, predictability, and long-term stability in sales efforts avoiding fluctuations between record-high and low activity years caused by resource constraints in project delivery.

We are seeking an experienced and results-driven Sales Director (fmd) for the Nordics & Baltics to lead CCR’s regional sales organization. The role carries full responsibility for driving sustainable growth, leading and developing the sales team, and building strong collaboration between sales, technical teams, and our factories.

The Sales Director (fmd) will play a key role in the ongoing transformation of the business, shaping and strengthening a professional sales organization that is still in its growth phase. We are looking for a hands-on, commercially driven leader who understands the balance between strategic direction and operational execution, and who takes pride in creating structure, driving process improvements, and delivering measurable results.
