  • Strong exposure to data/analytics platforms or SaaS solutions used by FMCG/retail clients.
  • Proven success leading market expansion across European geographies.
  • A consultative sales mindset — able to connect the dots between data, technology, and commercial impact.
  • Strategic thinking, relationship-first execution, and comfort working across ambiguity.

  • Make a dent: Help transform how Europe’s biggest FMCG brands use data.
  • Tech + operations + global scale: Smollan is uniquely positioned to deliver both digital and in-market impact.
  • Remote/hybrid flexibility: We’re looking for the best — not the closest to the office.
