Sampo‑Rosenlew is a Finnish manufacturer of high‑quality combine harvesters with over 150 years of industrial heritage. Today, they are in a strong growth phase: new ownership, clear investments in sales, and growing demand across Central Europe are creating an exciting opportunity to strengthen our international sales team.

We are now looking for a Sales Manager (Combine Harvesters) to take responsibility for Central European markets and to work hands‑on with our dealer network close to customers and the field.

Your role

In this role, you will be responsible for combine harvester sales and dealer development in Central Europe, with a strong focus on existing partners and on expanding the dealer network where needed. This role is not a people management position – it is a commercial, hands‑on sales role with strong ownership and accountability.

Your responsibilities include:

• Responsibility for combine harvester sales in Central Europe (e.g. Germany, Poland, France, Romania; Baltics depending on structure)
• Developing, leading and supporting the dealer network – making dealers successful in their markets
• Identifying and onboarding new dealers where needed
• Active presence in the field: customer visits, dealer support, demos and market follow‑up
• Close collaboration with Sampo‑Rosenlew’s sales, service, aftersales, production and R&D teams
• Full responsibility for sales results in your markets

In this role over 50% of your working time will be spent travelling, mainly in Central Europe (100+ travel days per year. You are based in Finland (location flexible: e.g. Helsinki region) Regular presence at the Pori head office is expected, typically about once a week, but flexibly depending on travel days.

You will report to the Director of Sales and Marketing and work closely with an experienced team that already knows the combine harvester business well.

What we are looking for

We are looking for a highly motivated, hands‑on sales professional who is excited to build results through people, dealers and long‑term customer relationships.

You could be a great fit if you have:

• Experience in sales of machinery, equipment or other high‑value technical products
• Experience working with dealer or distributor networks
• Strong willingness to travel extensively and work close to the market
• A proactive, social and team‑oriented working style
• Patience and persistence – these are long sales cycles, not quick wins
• Fluency in English, both written and spoken in professional level
• Other languages are a strong advantage (especially German, Polish, French or Romanian)
• Finnish language skills are an advantage, but not mandatory

Experience in agricultural or forestry machinery is a plus – but above all, we value the right mindset, hunger to succeed and ability to get people moving.

What we offer

• A key sales role in a company with clear growth momentum 
• An opportunity to take ownership of Central European markets with real impact
• Support from an experienced internal sales and technical organisation
• A chance to grow with the business as sales and aftersales operations continue to expand

With new ownership and investments, Sampo‑Rosenlew is moving fast – and this role is at the heart of that momentum.  Sampo‑Rosenlew offers a rare opportunity to step into the core of the machinery business and build growth in markets where the company has a long history and strong track record. The new owner’s strong willingness to invest, ambitious growth targets, and international business environment create a setting where you can genuinely influence strategic direction. The organization is agile, decision‑making is fast, and you will have a skilled team around you as well as a genuine mandate to work in new ways.
