PRESIDENT OF BUSINESS UNIT TERELION

Wherever you may look, the world is full of challenging tasks for mankind to solve. At Terelion, we specialize in those posed by blasthole drilling in surface mining. We’re proud specialists in developing and manufacturing rotary, DTH and RPS drilling solutions for the mining and construction industries, and we’re devoted to becoming the best in the business. Texas is our homeland, but the global surface mining industry is our playground – this is where we supply our customers with the most hard-wearing, efficient and cost-effective drilling solutions available.

As part of Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions and Division Rock Tools, we share the overall company passion of exploring new innovative designs, materials, manufacturing methods and engineering tools. Our standalone and independent Terelion business includes sales, finance, IT, R&D and logistics functions, as well as outsourced manufacturing, and we have our eyes set on delivering rock drilling breakthroughs affecting the entire industry. To further strengthen our journey ahead, we’re now looking for a visionary and inspiring President for this exciting and growing business unit of about 40 employees. A fantastic opportunity to take lead in our development and shape our future!

About your mission
One of your key focus areas in this job is to understand customer and market needs, build a successful strategy based on those insights, and then bring that strategy to life grounded by clear roadmaps and action plans. Your goal is to grow our business and by enhancing our offering and developing market leading products, you unlock significant value for both us and our customers. While acting independently and making quick decisions closely linked to customers, you ensure that our business is aligned with the core values of Sandvik Group and Division Rock Tools. You also create a stable foundation with the right prerequisites for us to advance. In all your work, you establish smart and effective ways of connecting with key stakeholders, internally within the organization as well as with external partners.

Other important items on your agenda are taking lead in the ongoing technology evolution, empowering our work with diversity and inclusion, and making sure that we conduct business in a responsible, safe and sustainable manner. You continue to develop a culture where collaboration, new perspectives, analytical creativity and results are in focus. You’re also an important member of our management team, fully accountable for the profit and loss statement of the Terelion business unit end to end.

The location for this job is in the Dallas area (Texas), and you report to the President of Division Rock Tools. International travel is normally included in your job.

Your background and character
You’re a clear, driven and inspiring leader, with a background in general management that includes previous accountability for end-results and numbers, as well as focus on sales and market growth. Preferably, you’re also experienced in the global manufacturing or mining industry. You’re skilled in managing stakeholders and many various interfaces, and you understand the importance of adapting to shifts in the market. Perhaps, you have been leading a business from the very get-go and you know how to shape its successful future – listening to the needs of our customers, prioritizing areas of development and translating a strategy into concise and well communicated deployment plans.

Like us, you value diversity, equality and inclusion, and you form a feedback-friendly arena. Doing business in all corners of the world calls for an open mind and cultural awareness, and you have advanced verbal and written skills in English.

With business acumen, energy and ambition, you take lead in decisions, and you’re skilled in capturing business opportunities and identifying improvements. Your broad perspective builds trust and commitment across the organization, and you easily form a shared vision. You also confidently challenge us when you think it’s necessary. Collaboration, communication and networks are your keys to make things happen, and as an agile role model, you bring people together, inspire change and always leave a positive impact. Add an entrepreneurial appetite for new technology, and you’re the one we need for this job!
