About the Company

Our client is a successful international distributor of specialty chemicals, with operations across a number of international markets and a presence in more than 20 countries.

The group holds a strong international position and is currently working to strengthen its presence and drive further growth in the Nordics and Baltics.

You will become a pivotal part of an international organization, with excellent opportunities to influence development and shape the direction of future commercial growth.

About the Position

As Regional Director – Nordics & Baltics, you will have overall responsibility for the business unit's development, performance, and future direction in the region.

Your primary task will be to set the strategic direction and ensure the continuous development of the business. You will play a central role in translating the group's ambitions into concrete goals and results, as well as creating the organizational and commercial framework for future growth.

In close collaboration with the Sales Director, you will develop and implement the strategy for the region and ensure progress through clear leadership, prioritization, and strong cooperation with the rest of the organization.

You will establish direction and engagement within the organization, develop leaders and employees, and ensure that the right competencies and resources are brought into play. The role requires the ability to deliver results through others while maintaining a strategic overview and an understanding of the business's commercial opportunities.

Your Primary Responsibilities

• Have experience in commercial leadership and organizational development, including developing and implementing strategies and translating them into concrete goals and results.
• Are a clear leader who sets direction, builds engagement, and ensures progress.
• Thrive with overall responsibility and are able to maintain both the strategic overview and an understanding of the organization's daily operations.
• Are a modern leader who believes in freedom with responsibility and is motivated by coaching and facilitating rather than micromanaging.
• Have experience in developing people and achieving results through others.
• Possess a good financial understanding and the ability to make decisions on a sound strategic and financial basis.
• Have experience from the specialty chemicals industry or related sectors. This will be considered an advantage.
• Communicate effortlessly in both Danish and English. Additional language skills are an advantage.

What Is Offered

• A central leadership position with responsibility for an international business unit that is part of a successful global group.
• A commercial mandate with the opportunity to influence strategy and organization and leave a clear mark on the development of the Nordics and Baltics.
• A dynamic working environment combining strategic responsibility, leadership, and organizational development.
• Business travel in connection with the development of the business in the Nordics and Baltics, with significant influence over your own travel planning.

Workplace: Aarhus area.
