Based on market analyses and proposal development, you define sales targets and initiate focused actions to expand our market share. You also build strong relationships with key stakeholders, including customers, industry partners and government bodies.

You maintain existing relationships and actively acquire new partners. You independently conduct contract negotiations, prepare proposals together with colleagues and successfully close deals. In addition, you gather and analyse market information and document relevant customer and sales data to continuously strengthen our commercial strategy.

You bring

You are entitled to 27 vacation days and 7 ADV days, giving you plenty of time to recharge.

You benefit from flexible working hours and the option to work from home one day per week.

When you join us, you start with a temporary contract without a probation period. Not because we have doubts, but because we believe you perform best when we take the time to get to know each other properly.
