Segment Manager Logistics Automation Solutions

function description

The overall mission of the SEGMENT MGR LAS is to further develop BEA Europe’s activities in the Logistics Automation Solutions (LAS) segment. The ambition is to create an additional strong contributor to profit growth for BEA Europe.

The mission consists of 3 elements: farming, hunting, and building.

Farming

The SEGMENT MGR LAS takes the lead on the existing relationships and projects in the LAS segment. This includes being the BEA SPOC and relationship manager. Working together with all relevant other departments within BEA, the SEGMENT MGR LAS helps to ensure alignment and focus of everyone involved, to realize the current ambitions and further expand them.

Hunting

In addition to the existing relationships and projects, the SEGMENT MGR LAS works to add additional activities to the LAS portfolio. This not only in terms of new customers and new projects, but potentially also new partners, and even acquisitions. The SEGMENT MGR LAS autonomously identifies potential new opportunities, analyses them, prioritizes them, and drives the entire processes around decision making, implementation, and follow-up.

Building

As the business grows, the SEGMENT MGR LAS will build a team around them to fully realize the profit potential. This includes attracting, developing, and retaining people with the right profiles, and structuring the team and its activities optimally. This also includes creating and updating the necessary documentation and processes, in line with the others within BEA Europe and BEA at large.
