Country Sales Manager, Italy

Application Deadline: 2 June 2026

Department: Sales & Account Management

Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time

Location: Firenze

Reporting To: Søren Keller

Description

Others see waste. Do you see opportunities?

Agriculture and textiles. Food and building materials. Contaminated Soil. Biogas fuels. Fuels for district heating plants. They sound like very diverse industries, but they actually have a lot in common – and as a Business Development Manager at Combineering, you will work across all of them.

We specialize in green solutions – and focus on developing better use‑cases for waste and residues, turning them into valuable secondary resources. But we need you to help us grow. To spot opportunities, open doors and close deals that create value for both the customer and the business. So, if building new relationships, nourishing existing ones, turning complex challenges into solid projects, and driving revenue is your deal – then we need to close one with you!

Make a real difference and grow in a supportive job environment 💚

Our vision is a waste free world, which we can pass on to future generations – so you will become part not only of our company, but also of a green movement.

We do not only want our business to grow. We want you to grow too. Therefore, we value a high degree of independence and trust, and offer you a collaboration-driven, informal culture with skilled and supportive colleagues. 55 in total around Europe - 10 within the Sales Team itself - always willing to lend a helping hand.

As Combineering is part of the British Reconomy Group with more than 4,500 employees serving customers in over 150 countries, you will experience the best of both worlds. A smaller agile company with short lines of command and swift decision-making processes, plus the benefits of being part of a large international company with established procedures and structured project frameworks.

Key Responsibilities

Pro-activity, partnership and pushing for success

Are key words for our sales force. We focus on results and revenue but do things the right way: with respect for client needs, project economics, and our ISO‑certified procedures.

Identifying and developing new business opportunities within the waste, recycling, and circular economy space
Actively hunting for new customers, projects, and partnerships
Driving the full commercial process — from first contact to signed agreement
Ensuring projects are commercially sound and aligned with customer requirement
Optimizing value chains with your sales colleagues, where excess resources from industries can be used across countries – primarily in Europe

As Country Sales Manager, you will be the key account manager towards your share of the Italian Waste-to-Energy facilities and industrial clients. You can look forward to developing solutions for industries such as building material and product industries, pharmaceuticals, alternative energy sources and food and beverages.

All in all: we know where to send you. We have the solutions ready. Now we just need you to make it happen.
