Positec Nordics is seeking a Sales Director to lead the Nordic growth journey of Kress, one of Europe's most rapidly expanding premium brands in robotic lawn care. A commercially driven and strategic leader with a hands-on mindset who thrives at the intersection of growth, technology and entrepreneurship. This is a unique opportunity to build and lead the Nordic sales organization for one of the most innovative challengers in its industry. 

About Us

Positec is a global innovator in power tools, garden equipment and robotic lawn mowers, with trusted brands such as Kress and WORX. With over 5,000 employees worldwide and 500 across Europe, we design and manufacture most of our components in-house, giving us control over innovation, quality and sustainability.

Positec Nordics, headquartered in Jönköping, Sweden, operates across the Nordic countries. We are a growth-focused and entrepreneurial organization with clear ambitions: to grow our brands in the Nordic region. Following significant strategic investment, we are now entering a strong expansion phase in Kress – and the Sales Director will play a key role in driving that growth.

In this role, you will lead and develop our Nordic sales organization with seven direct reports across the region. You will work strategically to drive regional growth, while remaining close to the market, customers and products for the Kress brand.

Key responsibilities include:

• Lead, inspire and develop the Nordic sales team to achieve growth and profitability targets

• Expand and strengthen the dealer network across the Nordics
• Drive business development with national accounts 
• Take part in the European sales strategy and translate it into regional execution

• Excellent communication skills in English and one Nordic language (Swedish or Danish preferred)
• A genuine interest in technology and products
