Join Høglund as Aftermarket Key Account Manager

As our Aftermarket Key Account Manager, you own the customer relationship from the moment we’ve delivered a system --- and for the full lifecycle of that system.

You identify opportunities, drive renewals, promote digital solutions and upgrade packages, and make sure our customers always have someone who knows their vessels and their needs.

You work closely with Sales, Service, Engineering, and Operations to deliver on that promise every day.

As we continue to develop our Aftermarket & Service organization, the KAM role is expected to grow in scope and impact.

This includes playing a key role in shaping how we work with lifecycle services, digital solutions, and long-term customer partnerships.

• Growth & sales: Identify and promote upgrade opportunities, 5-year service activities, new aftermarket products and digital subscription offerings.

• Commercial follow-up: Prepare quotations and commercial proposals in cooperation with Service and Sales and lead proactive sales activities towards existing customers.

• Internal coordination: Ensure effective coordination across Service, Engineering, and Operations to deliver consistent and high-quality customer support.

• CRM & reporting: Maintain accurate CRM records and monitor customer satisfaction continuously.
