Representing the business at industry events, trade shows and networking opportunities
Feeding back market insights and customer needs to shape strategy
What we’re looking for:
2–4 years B2B sales experience (field sales preferred)
Proven “hunter” mentality – proactive, driven and opportunity‑focused
Comfortable selling into:
Wholesalers
Automotive or adjacent channels
Highly motivated, entrepreneurial and confident in building a market from scratch
Strong communication skills – able to simplify complex products
Willingness to travel extensively (Germany + occasional UK travel)
What’s on offer:
