Interim Chief Strategy Officer (CSO), International Sales

The Company is seeking a Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) for International Sales to join their dynamic team. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading the sales organization, both as an interim CSO and in a permanent VP International Sales role. This is a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of the company's international growth, with a focus on building and leading sales in markets outside of Finland. The role involves not only managing a sales team but also personally closing deals, particularly large and strategic ones. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in leading international B2B sales teams, experience in selling technical products or capital goods, and a solid understanding of Nordic electricity markets. Key responsibilities for the CSO include interim sales leadership, international sales, market expansion, team development, and providing commercial feedback to enhance product offerings. The role requires a leader who can work closely with the CEO and the leadership team, and who is adept at recruiting, coaching, and managing a multinational sales team. A strong network in international energy, industrial, or infrastructure markets is a significant advantage, as is a higher education in engineering, economics, or a related field. The position demands an individual with exceptional analytical, communication, and negotiation skills, and the ability to turn customer insights into better offers and products.
