We understand that the world we want tomorrow starts with how we do business today, and that’s why we’re inspired to make A Better World for Pets. Antech is comprised of a diverse team of individuals who are committed to each other’s growth and development. Our culture is centered on our guiding philosophy, The Five Principles: Quality, Responsibility, Mutuality, Efficiency and Freedom. Today Antech is driving the future of pet health as part of Mars Science & Diagnostics, a family-owned company focused on veterinary care.

The Sales Training & Development Manager is a high-impact commercial enablement role, responsible for supporting the design, development, delivery, and continuous optimization of sales training across Antech’s field force in Germany. This role serves as an active manager, balancing hands-on training delivery and field coaching with input into shaping Antech’s regional sales excellence program.

Operating in a matrixed environment, you will collaborate closely with local German sales leadership, regional marketing, and enablement stakeholders to drive commercial excellence. The primary purpose of this role is to build and embed consultative, value-based selling capabilities paired with a growth mindset and commercial winning mentality across our German field force.

You will equip our sales professionals with the tools, skills, and confidence to proactively pitch for new business, position our full portfolio of diagnostic services, earn customer trust, navigate practice complexity, and close high-impact deals that deliver mutual business growth.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

Strategy & Commercial Partnership

· Partner with the German Sales Leadership to set high-impact training priorities that directly support commercial targets and rapid capability growth.

· Maintain competitive edge by staying ahead of veterinary industry trends, competitor moves, and innovations, partnering with subject matter experts (Product Managers, Medical, Lab Operations etc.) to keep commercial messaging sharp.

· Promote a culture of continuous improvement, accountability and customer focus aligned to the Mars Science & Diagnostics culture and behaviours.
