GERMANY
Business Development Manager
SHOWA, a 100% wholly-owned Japanese glove manufacturer, globally positioned, now seeks to appoint a Business Development Manager based near the border of Germany / Austria to promote the brand and consolidate long-term profitable relationships with existing distribution partners across the country. The assigned territory will include North/East Germany.
SHOWA is well established in Germany and has achieved strong YOY results, however, further growth can still be achieved. 20% of the time will be spent managing existing relationships through attending multi-site visits (once and when possible) and/or online meetings to offer product training and presentations, setting objectives, introducing marketing campaigns, supporting bids and tenders, evaluating performance, and identifying opportunities to seek deeper market penetration. 80% of time will be spent at end-user level managing existing accounts to grow but also proactively seeking new business opportunities.
Team SHOWA consist of a mostly young and dynamic team, with enthusiasm and passion for their profession. SHOWA is a global organization, dominant in Japan yet with major business units in Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
SHOWA is the only company that fully controls the design and manufacture. Each member of the SHOWA family must have integrity and the empowerment to build trusting relationships within our company and, equally important, with our customers.
