Country Managing Director India / Start-up Founder (m/f/d)

India is one of the most exciting growth markets of the coming decades. That is why we are founding a

start-up within the MOSOLF Group and are looking for YOU to help build it from day one. Specifically, the

aim is to establish the freight forwarding and project logistics business of the Transport Overseas Group

GmbH in India.

Before heading to India, you will get to know the MOSOLF world through preparatory measures in

Germany. Afterwards, you start on site: In the first 3 to 6 months, you will develop an understanding of

the market and lay the foundations for the build-up. This is followed by a 12- to 24-month build-up phase,

during which your on-site presence gradually decreases.

The Transport Overseas Group is a dynamic, fast-growing company and has been part of the MOSOLF Group

since 2025. As an independent ship broker headquartered in Achim, with further locations in Antwerp, Bilbao,

Chicago, Cleveland, Dubai, Espoo, Houston, Mülheim an der Ruhr and Szczecin, plus a worldwide agency network,

the TO Group is a specialist in shipments in the Roll-on/Roll-off, break-bulk and project segments.

In addition, the company acts as a liner agency and is the general agent for Bahri Line in Northern Europe and

Scandinavia.

At MOSOLF, everything revolves around mobility: Since being founded in 1955 as a family-owned

company, MOSOLF has achieved a leading position in vehicle logistics through vision, innovative strength

and determination. Today, our name stands for quality, reliability and advanced solutions. This spirit of

collaboration and continuous improvement shapes our company.

YOUR MISSION

• Market entry strategy and planning: You will develop a foundational market entry strategy, supported by the MOSOLF management.
• Understand the market: You will explore the competition, customers and value chain on site and continue the ongoing analyses.
• Business development and sales: You will open doors, build networks, lead customer conversations and identify business opportunities for the TO business.
• Build the company: You will be involved in shaping the set-up, from liaising with the relevant authorities and service providers to selecting the site.
• Build the team: Together with us, you will find local talent and form a team on site.
• Be the bridge: You will connect the team in India with the MOSOLF Group in Germany.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Founder and pioneering spirit: You get going even when not everything has been settled yet. Ideally, you have already gained experience building up a start-up, a branch or a project abroad.
• Experience: You have several years of professional experience in sales, business development or project management, ideally in logistics, shipping or automotive.
• Sales strength: You have sales in your DNA, approach people openly and build relationships.
• Initiative: You are self-driven, persistent and look for solutions rather than responsibilities.
• International mindset: You are curious about other cultures and can communicate confidently even in demanding professional situations, in English (at least at C1 level) and ideally in German.
• Intercultural competence: You have experience in intercultural exchange and a good understanding of cultural nuances, ideally with a connection to India.
• Assignment: You are willing to work in India for up to 30 months, with gradually decreasing on-site presence.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

• A genuine flagship project: A start-up with the stability and network of a strong group of companies behind it.
• Personal development: In a short time, you will learn more than in many years in a line role - from strategy and sales to setting up a company.
• Support: An experienced mentor from the project team and a sponsor from senior management will be at your side, along with know-how from across the Group, particularly from the TO and Ro/Ro business.
• A blueprint for more: India is intended to become the blueprint for further markets. Those who do pioneering work here will gain experience that will be in demand across the entire Group - in future market entries and beyond.
