Stellenbeschreibung
About the company
Berufserfahrung und Qualifikationen sind für diese Stelle zwar von entscheidender Bedeutung, doch sollten Sie sich vor der Bewerbung vergewissern, dass Sie über die gewünschten Soft Skills verfügen, falls erforderlich.
Since 2014, this Berlin-headquartered company has grown into Europe's leading partner for premium custom signage. Its signage appears in flagship stores, showrooms, hotels, and offices for some of the best-known names in retail, luxury, automotive, hospitality, and tech.
The product is proven and the client list speaks for itself. Brands come back for repeat orders and multi-location rollouts because the quality and delivery are consistently excellent.
The next step is building a dedicated new business function to match that reputation. That's where you come in.
The role
This is a true new business role. You won't be inheriting a book of accounts. You'll be opening doors with enterprise brands across Europe and turning first conversations into signed signage contracts.
