Channel Sales and Market Development
A major focus of this position is strengthening STANLEY's presence across Qatar's trade channel. The successful candidate will work closely with dealers and channel partners to achieve sales objectives while identifying new opportunities for distribution and product growth.
The role also requires monitoring market share and commercial performance. When market conditions or sales trends change, the Sales Executive will be expected to identify appropriate actions to protect performance and pursue additional growth.
Promotions, Merchandising and Branding
The position goes beyond traditional sales. The Sales Executive will support product promotions, brand management, merchandising standards, point-of-sale communication, and customer acquisition projects.
Experience planning sales promotions, activations, merchandising programs, product demonstrations, and trade events can therefore be highly valuable.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Business, Economics, Sales, Marketing, or a related field.
- At least 3 years of relevant sales experience.
- Experience in sales distribution, channel execution, and administration.
- Strong customer focus and key account management skills.
- Experience planning sales promotions, activations, and merchandising.
- Strong relationship-building and interpersonal skills.
- Ability to work with dealers, customers, suppliers, and internal teams.
- Strong planning, organization, and multitasking abilities.
- Excellent verbal and written communication.
- Strong coordination and teamwork skills.
- Commercial awareness and ability to identify market opportunities.
- Ability to analyze sales and marketing information.
- Competence in preparing reports and extracting relevant data.
- Familiarity with e-commerce platforms and social media for customer engagement and product promotion.
- Integrity, energy, determination, and a strong results-oriented approach.
Who Should Apply?
This opportunity is well suited to Sales Executives, Channel Sales Executives, Territory Sales professionals, Trade Marketing Executives, and Key Account professionals with experience in distribution-driven markets.
Candidates who have worked closely with dealers, distributors, channel partners, and trade customers will be particularly relevant. Experience in tools, hardware, industrial products, or related categories can also help candidates understand the commercial environment, although the provided requirements primarily emphasize sales distribution and channel execution experience.
Skills That Will Help You Succeed
The strongest candidates will combine sales ability with commercial and market-development skills. Building relationships with customers and dealers, negotiating effectively, understanding market requirements, and identifying new distribution opportunities will be important.
The role also requires strong coordination because the Sales Executive may work across sales, supply chain, marketing, End User teams, agencies, and channel partners.
Data and reporting skills can help turn sales information into practical decisions, particularly when monitoring sales targets, market share, campaign performance, and customer engagement.
How to Stand Out
Your CV should focus on measurable channel-sales achievements rather than simply listing sales responsibilities.
Highlight sales targets achieved, territory growth, new dealers or distribution channels developed, key accounts managed, product launches supported, and successful promotions or merchandising programs.
If you have experience increasing market share, acquiring new customers, improving dealer performance, or expanding product distribution, make those achievements prominent.
Interview Preparation
Prepare examples of how you have achieved sales targets through dealers or distribution partners. Interviewers may ask how you would respond when a channel partner is underperforming or how you would identify opportunities to increase sales in an established territory.
Be prepared to discuss sales promotions, merchandising, product launches, customer acquisition, market-share improvement, and collaboration with supply chain or other internal functions.
You may also be asked to explain how you use sales data and market information to determine your next commercial action.
Why You’ll Love This Opportunity
The role offers exposure to a major global tools business and its portfolio of established brands. The company describes a global, collaborative environment with opportunities to work across multiple career paths.
Learning and development resources include its Lean Academy and online university, while the organization also highlights career development, an inclusive culture, and opportunities to contribute to community and sustainability initiatives.
Career Growth
Channel sales experience can lead to progression into Territory Sales Management, Key Account Management, Trade Marketing, Channel Management, Sales Management, or broader commercial leadership roles.
Working across sales, marketing, distribution, and customer acquisition can also provide a strong foundation for professionals seeking wider commercial responsibilities.
