We are recruiting on behalf of our client, a general leader in third-party quality assurance and inspection services (TIC industry), serving international brands across consumer goods and industrial sectors. This is a client-side position — successful candidates will be employed directly by the client.

About the Role

What We're Looking For

- 5–10+ years of B2B sales experience, including solid time in the TIC industry (inspection, testing, or auditing) selling into consumer goods
- At least 2 years directly managing a sales team — coaching, evaluating, and developing people
- Strong grasp of the consumer goods supply chain (sourcing, trading, manufacturing, retail compliance)
- Comfortable engaging senior stakeholders — procurement heads, quality directors, C-level buyers
- Fluent English required; Spanish and/or Dutch are a strong plus
- Open to regular travel across Western Europe

Nice to Have

- Currently in a Sales Supervisor / Team Lead role within TIC, ready to step into broader leadership
- Experience in a multicultural, matrix organization
- A builder mindset — comfortable creating structure and process from scratch
