About us

Nova Sea AS is one of the largest northern Norwegian producers of farmed salmon. We have breeding facilities and skilled, committed employees along the entire coast of Helgeland, from Vega in the south to Gildeskål in the north. Our head office and harvesting plant is placed on the island Lovund. The employees are Nova Sea's most important resource and top priority. We have a great social responsibility as a food producer, and every day deliver salmon equivalent to 770,000 meals. We take our role in Helgeland's local communities very seriously and give back by supporting local initiatives.

The concern consists of Nova Sea AS, Helgeland Smolt AS, Nova Sea Aquaservice AS, Nova Master AS, Djupvatn AS, as well as the affiliated companies Tomma Laks AS and Vega Sjøfarm AS, a total of approx. 350 employees. Nova Sea AS handles the administration of all the companies in the concern. The group is fully integrated from broodstock production to serving salmon in restaurants. All Nova Sea's activities must be managed according to the principle of sustainability.

We are excited to be hiring a Sales Manager to join our Sales team.

As a part of the dedicated Nova Sea crew, you will join us in selling our northern Norwegian salmon to markets in Europe, the US and Asia.

Today’s team consists of three employees in Back-office / Sales support, five Sales Managers / Sales Representatives, Sales Director and CCO.

If you are the person we are looking for, it does not come as a surprise that we are looking for a business-oriented people’s person for this position.

You will thrive because you know how to listen and communicate exceptionally well. In every interaction, you build relationships for future business.

We hope you are passionate about sales or locally produced salmon – optimally both, but we see any passion as a valuable attribute.

Delivering on time is something you take pride in and achieve being self-going and structured.

To be a really good fit, we also think you:

• have higher education and a few years on your back
• are acquainted with Asian, US and/or other markets
• speak and/or understand Norwegian
• are excited about working on the beautiful coast of northern Norway

Only one absolute requirement:

• Business level fluency in English

Despite having spent quite a few words describing who we think our new Sales Manager is going to be, we are open to consider other types of profiles – including those seeking to work primarily remote.

Please consider applying and convincing us - even if you don’t meet all the «criteria» presented above.

Why should you come to us?

In short, we want to see you grow and develop.

We are flexible and we give back to our employees.

We offer a competitive salary, the best pension scheme available and excellent insurance.

We do our best to live by our own values; local, responsible, competent and proud.
