Push your boundaries as a Sales Manager Duty Free in Global Travel Retail

As a Sales Manager Duty Free, you are the key link between global A-brands and international customers such as airports, border shops, and ferries. You know how to turn opportunities into results and are looking for a new challenge where you can fully unleash your entrepreneurial mindset.
