Large graphic design firm seeks Key Account Manager with an eye for retail, relationships, and new business
Then you might be our new Key Account Manager.
At Johnsen, we are looking for an experienced and proactive sales professional who, with their knowledge, curiosity, and keen eye for retail, can generate new business and develop existing client relationships.
You can be based in Aarhus, Hadsten, or Grenaa.
YOU PROVIDE ADVICE ON SOLUTIONS THAT WORK IN PRACTICE
Imagine you're standing in the customer's store, advising them on the POS solution that can give the brand greater visibility and the campaign more impact.
The customer listens because your recommendation is based on experience, professional insight, and an understanding of retail. Together, you’ll find the right solution, and with our specialists supporting you, you’ll see it through from concept and design to production and the final result.
That’s the kind of knowledge-based, value-adding sales we’d like to see more of at Johnsen.
Don’t just sell what the customer asks for. You need to understand the customer’s business, ask the right questions, and shift the conversation from how much a solution costs to the value it creates for the customer.
YOUR MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES
Among other things, you'll:
- reach out to new customers and build your own pipeline
- build long-term relationships with customers and decision-makers
- Identify needs and provide advice on POS, campaigns, and other in-store solutions
- turn your knowledge of retail into value-added recommendations
- prepare quotes with a focus on customer value, quality, and cost-effectiveness
- develop existing customers and identify new business opportunities
- bring together the right colleagues for the task and follow through on the solution
- stay up to date on developments in retail, materials, and in-store brand experiences.
You'll work closely with our project managers and specialists in design, production, warehousing, and logistics. Together, you'll ensure creative, realistic, and profitable solutions that can be brought to life.
YOUR EXPERIENCE BUILDS TRUST WITH THE CUSTOMER
Your educational background isn't the deciding factor. What matters most is that you have solid experience in consultative B2B sales and enjoy generating new business.
We envision that you have experience in the graphic design industry, retail, POS, visual communication, packaging, or a related field. You understand physical retail environments and have an eye for how brands are perceived, experienced, and chosen.
You know which questions to ask and when it would be best to bring one of our specialists into the conversation.
AS A PERSON, YOU ARE:
- proactive, curious, and persistent
- good at building trust and fostering relationships
- driven by both new customers and long-term partnerships
- business-minded and mindful of both the customer's and Johnsen's business
- independent, organized, and good at seeing opportunities through to the end
- a team player who naturally involves the right colleagues.
You'll earn points with us if you not only thrive behind a desk but also enjoy visiting stores to see firsthand where our solutions are put to use.
YOU'LL HAVE ROOM FOR MORE AT JOHNSEN
At Johnsen, we combine the strength of a major player with the personal touch of a family-owned business.
We are a large, modern graphic design agency with expertise in areas such as design, advertising, printing, POS, packaging, magazines, warehousing, and distribution. That’s why you’ll have a wide range of tools at your disposal and experienced colleagues supporting you.
At the same time, we have a short path from idea to action. You’ll work closely with customers, management, specialists, and production, and your experience and market knowledge will make a real difference.
You'll have the opportunity to initiate a dialogue, advise the customer, assemble the right team, and see the solution through to its implementation.
AARHUS, HADSTEN, OR GRENAA
Your primary base of operations can be in Aarhus, Hadsten, or Grenaa. In addition, a natural part of your work will take place on-site with clients and potential clients.
We offer a versatile and independent position that gives you significant influence over your day-to-day work and the opportunity to make a difference for our customers, our solutions, and our continued growth.
You'll become part of a casual, family-owned business where we help one another and where it doesn't take long to turn a good idea into action.
