  • Comfortable with international travel and managing time away from home.
  • Ideally experience working with distributors/agents in Europe or beyond.
  • A keen interest in leisure marine activities (sailing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, dinghy sailing, yachting, etc.) would be a real advantage.
  • Good IT skills, including MS Office and CRM systems (HubSpot preferred).
  • Technical or engineering background beneficial but not essential.
