one last question?
With Muzzo, you set the fee between 5 and 30%, paid only on hire: no deposit, no fixed fees. A regional manager on two sites and a profit center director covering a third of national territory do not require the same search. The fee follows that difficulty, and the Muzzo team helps you set it.
You have a double guarantee. If the new hire leaves within 3 months, for example because the actual perimeter did not match the brief, we restart the search at no cost. If we find no replacement within 4 months, we refund 50% of fees. On average, 94% of Muzzo hires are still in post after 3 months.

the reality
a regional manager is judged by their region's revenue, not their title
a good region steerer does not look for a job
They hold the revenue across several sites and the team that comes with it. A headhunter in this role knows how to approach them without destabilizing their network.
headquarters and the field demand different profiles
A good regional manager spends most of their time on the road, with their teams and clients, not behind reports. The headhunter verifies this travel rhythm, not just the organigram.
a hiring mistake shows across several sites at once
A poorly steered region lowers revenue across several agencies at the same time. The headhunter verifies results achieved on a comparable region before introducing you.
the roles
the regional management profiles our headhunters go after for you
From one region with two sites to an entire agency network, each search goes to a headhunter who has already hired that profile.
regional manager
They steer a region's revenue and supervise field sales or site managers that make it up. The most requested role in this job family.
regional commercial manager
They drive a team of field sales spread across several departments, with a regional revenue target.
regional director
They answer for a full regional profit and loss: sales, operations and sometimes HR of sites in their zone.
profit center director
They steer a profit center attached to a region, with margin targets in addition to revenue.
network coordinator
They run an agency or retail network for a region: training, commercial drive, performance tracking for each site.
the method
a regional commercial headhunter, not an agency that does everything
A regional manager is judged by revenue across several sites at once. The method starts from actual geography and teams.
we define geography and teams
Number of sites, number of sales or managers supervised, expected travel: the brief describes the field, not just the job title.

hiring a regional manager: what you need to know
why use a headhunter to hire a regional manager?
The regional manager answers for revenue spread across several sites, with a team they don't see every day at one place. Good profiles are in post, busy with travel, and don't answer job ads.
A headhunter in this role knows how to approach them and ask the right questions: site numbers, team size, results on a comparable region. You meet profiles who have already steered multiple sites, not just managed a headquarters team.
regional manager, commercial manager, commercial director: who does what?
The commercial manager supervises a sedentary team, often at headquarters, across a single perimeter. The regional manager steers multiple sites or field sales across a territory, with a regional revenue target. The commercial director holds national commercial responsibility and sits on the executive committee.
Specify in the brief the number of sites or departments covered, and expected travel. A regional manager steering two nearby sites and one covering a third of national territory do not recruit to the same profile.
how do you assess a regional manager at interview?
The CV lists titles and headcount. The interview must show something else: how the profile arbitrates between two sites needing attention the same day, and how they improve a lagging site without being there every day.
Ask a real case: a site in difficulty in the previous region, actions taken and results achieved in following months. The headhunter does this first screen and verifies regional revenue announced with references before introducing you.
where should you hire a regional manager?
In France Travail's 2026 BMO survey, the broad category of commercial managers, buyers and marketing managers counts 1,020 planned hires in the Paris labour area, 420 in Paris West La Defense, 210 in Bordeaux and Versailles Saclay, 160 in Toulouse, 150 in Nantes and 140 in Lille. It doesn't single out regional management, but it shows where competition between employers is strongest.
For a regional role, search scope is not limited to one city: a regional manager often changes activity sectors while keeping the same multi-site steering role. Widening search beyond original sector increases chances of finding the right profile.
your questions about hiring a regional manager
Yes, very often. According to Apec, 74% of commercial management managers have variable pay, a median of €10,000 a year, vs 50% for all managers (2025 edition). Prepare the portion linked to regional revenue targets before the first interview.
According to Apec, commercial management managers earn 61 k€ median gross annually in general and specialized distribution, and 68 k€ in transport and logistics (2025 edition). Sector weighs as much as region size in pay.
The commercial manager supervises a sedentary team across a single perimeter, often at headquarters. The regional manager steers multiple sites or field sales across a territory. For a headquarters team, see our commercial manager page.
The headhunter asks for facts: number of sites actually steered, regional revenue change, actions taken on a lagging site. They cross-check them with references before introducing the profile.
