Job detail for Sales Manager

Intro

Is packaging more than just cardboard and tape to you? It's the first impression an online retailer makes on their customers.

We're currently expanding our business division around packaging and packaging materials in Leipzig. This allows us to offer our business customers, with a focus on the e-commerce target group, exactly what they need for their business. All with solid momentum and growth potential. What's still missing is someone who can drive this project from a sales perspective: You lay the foundation for inbound and outbound sales, build a structure that grows with us, and ensure that individual buyers become loyal repeat customers.

In short: You're the engine that turns a young, ambitious project into a solid pillar. Sounds like your stage? Apply now!

Your Tasks

• Inbound Sales: You handle incoming inquiries, provide expert advice, and convert interest into revenue.

• Customer Consultation as a Team: Together with the Product team and Support team, you find the right solution for every customer inquiry.

• Outbound Sales: You actively reach out to potential customers and generate new business opportunities.

• Key Accounts & Repeat Customers: You build long-term customer relationships and turn first-time buyers into reliable regular customers.

• Scalable Sales Structure: You develop and maintain processes that keep pace with our growing warehouse.

• Strategic Direction: You think strategically about where the journey should go and actively shape the next growth steps.

• Field Service Support: For lucrative opportunities and promising key accounts, you're also on-site when needed.

• Revenue Generation: You directly shape our revenue development and ideally bring some initial networking opportunities with you.

Your Profile

• Technical Expertise: At least 3 years of sales experience in the packaging and cardboard industry; experience with the e-commerce target group is a plus.

• Deal Making: You know how to close deals so that the customer signs with a positive feeling.

• Problem-Solving Skills: You efficiently analyze complex issues and find solutions that are also practical to implement.

• Initiative and Development Potential: You want to actively shape the in-house warehouse project and develop with the business.

• Adaptability: You remain flexible when things change in a growing case and keep a cool head under pressure when prioritizing.

• Communication Skills: You communicate proactively and on equal footing with both internal and external stakeholders.

• Deliver+1 Mentality: The ambition to deliver more than expected is not just a phrase for you, but a lived practice.

• Network: Ideally, you already bring contacts from the e-commerce target group that will help you get off to a quick start with corresponding revenue targets.

Why Us?

• Work 4 Days & 3 Days for Yourself: At us, the 4-day week isn't an extra—it's standard. More time for life, every week. Whether you work in our Leipzig office or remotely from anywhere in Germany—you have the choice. Flexible working hours are included. We rely on trust, give you responsibility, and offer you a permanent contract from day one.
• Shape Rather Than Just Execute: You want to think along, contribute, and really make a difference? That's what Händlerbund is all about. Here, initiative counts, and of course so does teamwork: at joint events, summer festivals, or relaxed lunch breaks at the grill, there's plenty of fun.
• Snacks, Style & Furry Feel-Good Managers: Whether coffee, water, muesli, or fruit—you're well taken care of at us. Dress code? Not here. Just be yourself. And if your dog is your favorite companion, bring them along! They're warmly welcome in the office.
• Benefits That Matter: Childcare subsidy, retirement planning support, Leipzig job ticket, or sports offerings for your balance—from home gym to fitness studio for body and mind.
