Place of work: Jihlava, Červený Kříž 250
Employment type: Full-time

Do you want to work in sales that isn't just about phone calls and spreadsheets, but about real technical projects, customers, and products with international reach?

We are looking for a new colleague to join OPTOKON's sales team, someone who wants to help grow our business in optical networks, telecommunications, data technologies, and specialised solutions for industry, critical infrastructure, and other technologically demanding sectors.

Depending on your experience and focus, this position can take two directions:

Customer Service / Inside Sales – customer care, preparing offers, coordinating orders, and supporting the sales team
Field Sales / Business Development – active sales, customer visits, and market development in the Czech Republic or abroad

You don't need to know our products from day one. What matters is a sales mindset, a willingness to communicate with customers, independence, and a readiness to learn the world of technical B2B sales.

What to Expect

As part of the sales department, you will have the opportunity to work with existing customers and develop new business opportunities.

Your responsibilities may include:

• communication with customers and business partners
• processing enquiries and preparing sales offers
• caring for existing customers and building long-term business relationships
• actively seeking new customers and business opportunities
• coordinating business cases from initial enquiry through to order fulfilment
• collaborating with the technical department to design suitable solutions
• communicating with production, purchasing, logistics, and other company departments
• preparing pricing and product documentation
• working with business cases, customer data, and CRM/ERP systems
• monitoring the market, competitors, and new projects
• presenting OPTOKON products and solutions to customers and partners
• attending business meetings, trade fairs, conferences, and other company events
   

Who We Are Looking For

We are primarily looking for someone with sales drive, the ability to deal with people, and the ambition to grow professionally.

We expect:

• at least secondary education
• very good communication and organisational skills
• professional demeanour
• independence and responsibility
• the ability to see business cases through to completion
• a proactive approach and willingness to find solutions
• the ability to work with technical information
• standard user-level knowledge of MS Office
• willingness to learn new products and technologies

For international sales, a good command of English, spoken and written, is required.
For field sales positions, a category B driving licence and willingness to travel are required.

It Will Be an Advantage If You Have

• experience in B2B sales
• experience in customer service, inside sales, or sales administration
• experience actively acquiring new customers
• knowledge of IT, telecommunications, optical networks, data networks, or electrical engineering
• experience with technical products or project-based sales
• experience in international trade or export
• knowledge of a CRM or ERP system
• another foreign language
• experience with presentations, trade fairs, or business travel

Experience specifically in optical technologies is not a requirement. We will gradually train you in our products, technologies, and sales processes.

What We Offer

• a role at a stable Czech technology company with in-house development and manufacturing
• a technical B2B sales environment with Czech and international customers
• professional training in OPTOKON products and technologies
• the opportunity to work on interesting Czech and international projects
• room for independence and your own sales initiative
• the opportunity to gradually take over your own customers, region, or international market
• professional growth in sales, technology, and business development
• support from technical specialists on business cases
• the opportunity to attend trade fairs, conferences, and business meetings in the Czech Republic and abroad
• fair financial compensation
• a performance-based bonus component
• flexible working hours
• employee benefits
• long-term prospects and opportunities for growth within the company

Who Are We Looking to Reach?

You don't need to meet every point above.

If you are an experienced salesperson looking for a technical product with international reach, we would be glad to offer you space to develop your own sales approach.

If you are at the start of your career but have a talent for sales, aren't afraid to communicate, and want to learn technical B2B sales, we will be glad to train you.

And if your strengths lie more in customer care, organisation, and coordinating business cases, you can develop with us toward Customer Service / Inside Sales.

We are looking for someone we can give the space to grow according to their strengths.

Send us your CV. Even if you don't currently match exactly one of the profiles described above, there may be a suitable path for you within our sales team.
