Sales Agent / Technical Sourcing Partner (m/f)

Location Engagement Freelance · Commission-based Focus Precision manufacturing · Italian metalworking SMEs CM MetalMarket connects industrial buyers with a network of 50+ certified Indian precision manufacturers (CNC machining, casting, forging, sheet metal, injection moulding — IATF 16949, AS9100, ISO 9001). Our differentiator is the

casting + machining + finishing bundle from a single source

— exactly the niche the large platforms avoid. We grow through personal, technically grounded relationships with Italian metalworking SMEs across the mechanical districts of Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna and Veneto — not through anonymous portals. For that, we're looking for an experienced sales engineer who speaks the language of both the design office and purchasing. Your role

Acquisition & account management

of Italian mid-market clients (owner-operated machine builders, subcontractors and automotive / industrial suppliers) RFQ qualification:

read drawings, assess tolerances, materials and feasibility — and judge which parts are suited to Indian manufacturing and which are not Technical translation

between customer requirement and supplier capability (cast housings → milling → plating / powder coating, bent / brazed tubing, sheet-metal assemblies, special alloys) Prototype-to-series support:

first-article inspection, customer sign-off, transition into serial production Negotiation & relationship building

for long-term framework agreements Your profile

Several years of experience as a sales engineer / project manager in metalworking, plant or machine engineering Solid technical grasp of machining, casting, forming and surface finishing — you can look at a part and see where the manufacturing limits are Experience in New Product Introduction / prototype-to-series transition is a plus An existing network in the Italian metalworking sector, or a proven ability to win B2B clients independently Self-directed, entrepreneurial way of working — you're used to operating freelance and on your own responsibility Fluent negotiation in Italian and English Open to international sourcing as a complement to — not a replacement for — Italian value creation What we offer

Performance-based compensation

with a share of gross profit (GP-share model) — above-average earning potential on recurring orders Full flexibility:

you decide location, hours and workload — an ideal complement to existing self-employment A desk at our Berlin hub whenever you want a base in Europe or a place to meet clients No pressure on unit volume , but on the quality of relationships — we build long-term accounts, not one-off deals We handle

back office, supplier management and quality assurance

— you focus on the technology and the customer Direct line to management, short decision paths
