Regional Key Account Manager – Industrial

Location: Johannesburg /Cape Town

Salary: Market related

Most sales roles talk about growth. This one expects you to deliver it consistently.

Is this you?

You’re a driven, commercially focused sales professional who thrives on winning new business and growing key accounts. Confident at executive level, you build credibility quickly and position yourself as a trusted advisor. You’re hands-on, resilient and comfortable working independently, managing a demanding territory while staying focused on targets and results.

What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it)

You’ll take charge of a high-potential region, driving sales of specialised industrial equipment into food and manufacturing environments. From expanding relationships with existing customers to identifying new markets and opportunities, you’ll play a pivotal role in business growth. You’ll be negotiating and closing deals, aligning solutions to customer needs and working closely with internal teams to deliver on expectations. You will enjoy this because you’re not just selling products, you’re providing tailored solutions that directly impact your clients’ operations while seeing tangible results in your sales performance.

Where you’ll be doing it

This opportunity sits within a globally recognised organisation known for its innovation in industrial technology and equipment solutions. With a strong international footprint and a long-standing reputation for quality, the business combines structured global support with a high-performance local team environment that values initiative and results.

What you’ll need

A proven track record in key account or territory sales is essential, along with at least three years’ experience selling industrial equipment into the food industry. Experience with capex equipment sales into food processing or manufacturing environments will be highly advantageous. You’ll need strong negotiation and closing skills, the ability to manage multiple accounts independently and a willingness to travel extensively. Solid communication skills and confidence using CRM or ERP systems will round off your profile.

What you’ll get

You’ll receive a competitive salary, the autonomy to manage your own region and the opportunity to grow within a globally established business. This role offers strong earning potential and exposure to high-value clients in a fast-paced, results-driven environment.
