Global Sales Manager

**Our company**: At Hubcycle we are at war to accomplish our mission: make the industry more sober, turning waste into sexy ingredients. The thing is, 30% of total volumes of raw material end up as wasted side-streams globally. That means 6% of our global carbon emissions are generated for nothing. Hubcycle reinvents the industrial value chain by creating ingredients 100% made from unused resources. We purchase side-streams and turn them into competitive ingredients, with no compromise on quality. **Job and missions**: Your mission as the Global Sales manager Spices & Herbs is to bring the existing sales to another level. We spent 3 years chasing low hanging fruits, analyzing hundreds of side-streams and creating tens of ingredients. Now, it’s confirmed that this product category is ready to grow, and grow big. We feel that we are at the beginning of something huge. This is a unique opportunity to join the category and push the sales with no limits. Day to day will be more or less as follow: - Use your B2B sales knowledge and understand well the value chain to sell the right ingredients at the right place, to the right clients; - Map and prospect new clients, new countries and new regions; - Leverage internal knowledge and support to bring top notch service to your clients; - Achieve ambitious sales targets (with unlimited incentive); - Monitor and improve profitability of your portfolio.
