The Role We are hiring a Commercial Sales Manager to lead a growing sales team (5–9 people), manage key industrial accounts, and drive sustainable commercial growth. This is a field-based leadership position, split between Erbil and Greece, with a back-to-back rotation structure shared with another Director. While one Director is in Erbil, the other supports remotely from Greece, ensuring 360° coverage and operational continuity. This is not a remote role. It requires on-the-ground leadership, daily involvement in sales activities, and regular field visits to clients. About the Company Ziyut Al Adaa Lubricants Trading Company is a fast-growing, Greek-led trading company headquartered in Erbil, Iraq, with a second branch in Sulaimania. As the exclusive importer and distributor of Cyclon, Klüber, and TotalEnergies industrial lubricants in Iraq, we have built a trusted reputation over the past 12 years across the region’s heavy industry sector. XLNT Company represents Ziyut Al Adaa in Greece. Both companies operate under the same management, ensuring seamless coordination and a shared commitment to exceptional service, technical support, and maintaining a strong market presence in Iraq and the broader Middle East. With consistent 15–20% annual financial growth, our group is expanding rapidly. However, Iraq’s socio-political development does not progress at the same pace, making cultural adaptability and hands-on leadership in the field essential for long-term success. As we prepare to expand more deeply into the Iraqi market and other Middle Eastern countries, we are building a strong commercial leadership team to drive results, scale operations, and lead our sales engine. This is a long-term role with real responsibility and upside.

Professionally, the city is a launchpad for meaningful work in a fast-growing market, offering exposure to regional business dynamics, leadership opportunities, and room for long-term personal and career growth.
