IMPORTANT: WE DO NOT LIST CURRENT SEARCHES ONLINE!

ART is an executive search firm that takes great pride in that our professionally trained headhunters are able to find outstanding candidates without ever using online advertising. Our level of training and market knowledge is a major distinction between ART recruiters and so many of our competitors.

This is a list of a few of our past searches. It is intended to show some typical types of searches that we are called to fill, but if a job in your discipline, industry or location is not listed, that absence of course does not necessarily mean that our clients may not now or soon have a suitable position for your experiences. Nor does it mean that we are not equipped to recruit in a market, industry, or discipline for which there might be no jobs posted below.

EXECUTIVE SEARCH: VP Sales - Automotive Components

LOCATION: US - flexible

COMPANY:  Privately held automotive component manufacturer

HEADHUNTER FOCUS: Very experienced automotive component sales manager with extensive experience maintaining and, most importantly, bringing in, new business with Japanese automakers. Candidates must have native Japanese or very fluent spoken and written Japanese language skills. Good English skills required.

Recruiter seeks, a Japanese fluent Vice President of Sales with well established contacts in the Japanese automotive sector in North America and a provable record of success in selling to Japanese automakers. The firm is a privately held company serving the automotive interiors field. The company employs 4,000 in several locations in North America. Current revenue is in the $100 million range, and expectations are for this to substantially rise in the next few years.

This position is not for an "account manager" type of sales person. The firm has well developed business relationships with major automakers, and from that basis, the expectation is for the VP Sales to expand that business to other leading Japanese automakers. Therefore, the VP Sales must be dynamic, aggressive, strategic, with an energetic "prospector-closer" mindset.

The expectation by this company is for the VP Sales to be the chief generator of sales personally. Therefore, this role might be ideal for a very strong senior sales manager who works best as a sole contributor, rather than as a sales chief who delegates others.

This role reports to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
