Leadership role responsible for leading a sales team to drive business growth in a B2B signage company.

About the company

  • At The Global Talent Co., we provide opportunities to work with leading innovative technology companies worldwide, offering stable employment, competitive compensation, career growth, and access to a community of 25,000+ like-minded professionals.
  • You'll be joining a fast-scaling, founder-led company that is redefining an entire industry. Founded in 2014, this European B2B signage company has built a premium brand trusted by some of the most recognisable names in retail, hospitality, tech, and luxury — think global household brands across Germany, Sweden, Poland, and beyond.
  • What makes this company unique is its ambition: to become the first truly scalable business in a sector that has historically been fragmented, craft-based, and impossible to systematise. Through smart processes, technology, and now AI, they are doing exactly that. This is not a startup at zero — it's a proven business with real revenue, real clients, and a clear roadmap to European market leadership.
  • With offices in Berlin, Wrocław, and Helsingborg, they're at an exciting inflection point and building the senior commercial team to take them there.

Responsibilities

  • This is one of the most important hires the company will make this year. What it requires is someone who has led a sales team, knows how to take ownership, and is ready to step fully into a leadership role and grow with the business.
  • As Sales Director you'll architect the commercial engine. You'll own the inbound and outbound sales functions, the CRM and AI-driven workflow transformation, and the customer experience from first touch to retention. You'll manage and develop a growing team of sales consultants, working closely with the founders to shape strategy and execute with discipline.
  • Grow and develop the inbound sales team, outbound function, aftersales, and offline conversion
  • Own sales team targets and metrics — structured planning and execution, not gut-feel management
  • Drive customer satisfaction and retention of key brand clients
  • Oversee the CRM system and full customer journey
  • Develop market and customer understanding to inform product, pricing, and strategy
  • Manage client relationships and resolve disputes when they arise

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in sales, with at least some time leading or mentoring a team
  • A strong sense of ownership — you take responsibility for outcomes, not just activities
  • Comfortable managing people and holding a team accountable to results
  • Solid understanding of CRM systems, pipelines, and data-driven decision making
  • An appetite for AI-native tools and workflow automation — you don't need to have built it all before, but you need to be genuinely excited about it
  • German at native level — this is non-negotiable
  • Professional English
