hela Sverige Axis has something great to offer! An exciting professional challenge in our Sales Region Northern Europe.
We are now eager to find our first Distribution Operation Manager - Northern Europe. If you are passionate about distribution improvements, stock optimization, and delivering more profitable sales for Axis and our main distributors - you are exactly what we are looking for!
Preferably, this role will be based in HQ in Lund, Sweden - but for the right candidate, we might be open to having you based in our sales office in Luton, UK.

Our products and solutions focus on security surveillance and remote monitoring based on innovative, modern, and open technology platforms. This is a Swedish-based company with more than 4000 employees worldwide. We currently have offices in more than 20 countries and cooperate with partners in more than 70 countries.

YOUR FUTURE TEAM
You will be reporting to Johan Emond, Finance & Sales Operations Manager - Northern Europe. As of today, Johan has a team of 2 finance professionals, eager to welcome a new colleague who will build a strong bridge to our salespeople in Distribution. You will also work very closely with our Distribution Account Managers (DAM). In addition to this, you will also interact with other central roles within Distribution across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa - always ensuring that our distributors in our region are getting the right attention and are properly covered.
Take a closer look at a part of your future team:

* Develop, implement, and track strategic initiatives and operational account plans with distributors.
