Average salary of an Export Manager
When searching for an export manager in large cities, we consider that their salary expectations may be higher. The work format also plays a key role: currently, many prefer remote work, so they may accept lower pay if they can work from home.
An important factor is the company's niche: in some market sectors, export managers can earn up to five times more due to high average service checks. Having a client base and not needing cold calls can also influence salary levels.
On average, a new specialist in this position can expect a salary in the range of 35,000–40,000 UAH (base plus sales commission), while an experienced professional with more than three years of experience can expect 60,000 UAH or more. Of course, these factors are just the foundation, and there are many other circumstances that can contribute to increasing the salary of an export manager.
The success of the further work of an export manager also depends on their successful adaptation and integration into the team. Well-established processes, prepared scripts, and support from the sales department head can quickly help a new employee achieve initial results and motivate them to strive for greater achievements.
