Jöttnar is the first new technical outdoor clothing brand to enter the British market in over twenty years and has enjoyed commercial and critical success since launching in 2013. The company is expanding into overseas markets and seeks an outstanding candidate for the position of European Sales Manager.
An independent, exciting and challenging role within a dynamic young company, as the European Sales Manager you will lead the company’s growth in the key European markets and deliver the company’s regional sales targets.
