Sandvik

President of Powder Solutions Division

Sankt Martin im Sulmtal

FULL TIME

November 15, 2024

At Sandvik Machining Solutions (SMS) we are looking for an enthusiastic, experienced, and empowering leader to join us as President for our Powder Solutions division. If you thrive on innovation and possess the drive to take this division to the next level of its journey, this role is your gateway to making meaningful impact on a global scale.

Some words about our division

The Powder Solutions division, with the Wolfram brand, is a world-leading provider of tungsten powders for machining and wear parts, and metal powder for manufacturing technologies such as Metal Injection Molding and 3D printing. These powders serve as the backbone of various industries, and their role in shaping modern technology and innovation cannot be overstated – we have customers in a range of industries, from automotive, aerospace, energy, and infrastructure, to electronics, tooling and mining. With unique expertise and extensive experience, coupled with a strong and embedded focus on sustainability, we’re well-equipped to further strengthen our current position and foster the growth of our business.

Your mission and responsibilities

As the President of Powder Solutions, your mission is to develop, communicate, and execute strategic plans, to drive forward our mission to enhance our market position and expanding into new segments and markets. Your role is instrumental in balancing, optimizing, and growing both internal and external business operations. By overseeing the powder production footprint, you ensure that we remain successful despite geopolitical challenges. With the financial performance accountability of the division in your hands, you guide our investment portfolio in line with future ambitions and requirements.

Your key focus areas ahead are:

Leading the organization towards an even stronger market position.
Expanding our market reach, particularly in the US.
Transitioning from a European-centric to a truly global organization.
Creating future growth through innovation.

Innovation is at the heart of your responsibilities, as you drive the development of new products and areas of growth. Building and nurturing a strong management team is crucial to your leadership, and you create a roadmap that encompasses culture, purpose, and belonging, while ensuring stability in financials, growth, and profitability. Furthermore, you are instrumental in expanding our customer base, clarifying our branding, and de-risking our strategic roadmap.

You report to the President of Sandvik Machining Solutions, and as an active member of the executive management team, you drive forward and continuously develop our strategic direction – aiming at establishing sustainable and strategically important projects. To measure the effectiveness of our strategy and sustainability initiatives, you establish metrics and KPIs, and you report on progress and engage with internal and external stakeholders to ensure alignment and support for strategic initiatives.

You are preferably based at our headquarters in St. Martin, Austria, as you need to spend around half of your time here, while other locations in Europe can be potential options for the right candidate. As this is a global role, it includes international travel.

Your profile
We’re looking for an experienced and inspiring general manager with a value-based leadership style, strong business acumen and great communication skills. You hold a technical or commercially oriented university degree, together with strong commercial experience and a solid background from successfully leading a global business, including profit and loss responsibility. Preferably, you also have experience of our industry. You know how to balance and act on a forward-thinking strategy, and you are able to drive pragmatic execution in a shifting market. As we act across borders and cultures, advanced communication skills English is a must. Knowing German is an advantage as a big part of the business is based in Austria.

Collaboration, stakeholder management and customer relations are your success factors. You’re confident and brave in decision-making and take lead in driving change. You believe in the power of teamwork, and you shape an entrepreneurial culture where people engage to increase performance and grow. Acting as a true role model, you show the way, deliver results and take pride in bringing an inclusive perspective where differences are both considered and valued. All in all, you inspire us to be an employer of choice!

Our culture

At Sandvik, we’re tech driven, innovative and entrepreneurial. We believe that success is a team effort so we value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive culture where people can be themselves and reach their full potential.
