About Clarios
Clarios sellers work two different battery markets: automakers that fit the battery on the assembly line (OE and OES), and the aftermarket of wholesalers, retail chains and workshops that replace it under brands such as VARTA, OPTIMA and Delkor. OE selling runs from the EMEA headquarters in Hanover, where sales managers win and manage international carmaker and Tier 1 business with the aim of more content per vehicle and better margin, and from Tokyo, where a technical account manager steers global Japanese automakers through RFQs, launches and post-launch issues, while a summer OE sales intern in Plymouth, Michigan builds forecasts and Salesforce reporting. Aftermarket seats are cut by country and channel: field reps develop wholesalers and workshops across Austria from a home office, a channel manager in Brescia owns volume, pricing with LME-linked clauses and EBIT for Italian independent aftermarket customers, a senior key account manager in Hanover leads one strategic aftermarket customer across EMEA, area sales and business development managers in Shanghai build wholesale distributors and store coverage while a key account manager runs the Tmall, Taobao, PDD and TikTok stores, and reps in Seoul and Kuala Lumpur sign retail partners and manage distributor accounts. In the US, salaried account territory representatives travel from home around regions such as Dallas, Fort Worth, Little Rock and Oklahoma City, supporting national retail accounts with merchandising, battery testing and associate training rather than selling on commission, and a technical field rep based in Riyadh trains distributors, workshops and fleets on AGM and EFB batteries across the Gulf and Africa. Two smaller lines hire as well: Maxwell, its supercapacitor business, wants a VP of sales in Dallas and a senior account manager in Milwaukee to sell to hyperscale data centers and grid, wind and industrial buyers, and the plastics division seeks a technical sales manager for its polypropylene and SECULENE recyclate compounds.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.
