Manufacturing Sales Executive

Please note: this role requires relocating to Hong Kong

Today, Minitab is one of the only software companies able to standardize data collection across manufacturing operations, from the factory floor to the quality lab and then turn that operational data into insights. This isn’t about selling a tool; it’s about helping customers establish a shared data foundation with best-in-class analytics that drives consistent improvement and confident decision-making end to end.

As a Minitab sales professional, you’ll work with growing manufacturers at every stage of their digital transformation maturity level. Some are just beginning their data journey and need simple, practical ways to collect and understand their data. Others are ready for more advanced capabilities like statistical process control (SPC) and process digital twins to drive true operational excellence. Our portfolio allows you to land where they are today and expand as they grow, creating long-term customer value and repeatable sales success.

You’ll be backed by a globally respected brand and solutions trusted by manufacturers around the world for the last 50 years. Minitab continues to be the partner of choice because we make advanced analytics accessible, scalable, and relevant to real manufacturing challenges, not theoretical ones.
