- ABOUT US At The Global Talent Co., we connect exceptional commercial talent with high-growth European businesses — offering competitive packages, stable employment, and access to a global community of 25,000+ professionals.
- ABOUT THE COMPANY Since 2014, this Berlin-headquartered company has quietly become Europe's leading partner for premium custom signage — trusted by some of the most recognised names in retail, luxury, automotive, hospitality, and tech. Their client list reads like a who's who of European brand marketing.
- They don't need to prove the product works. Brands already love it. What they're building now is the commercial function to match.
- THE ROLE This role is built for someone who has spent years sitting on the agency or media side of the table — someone who has managed senior brand relationships, understood client budgets and brand strategies from the inside, and knows exactly how major companies make commercial decisions.
- You're not coming in to manage an existing book. You're coming in to open doors — using the fluency, the network, and the instincts you've built working with or alongside major brands. Once you bring a client in, an expert internal team handles all delivery. Your focus stays on pipeline and partnerships.
- Base salary up to €90,000 depending on experience
- Genuine autonomy — your desk, your relationships, your outcomes
- Berlin-based hybrid role with a founder-led team that has been building since 2014
- The chance to represent a product that major European brands genuinely love — with zero delivery responsibility once you close
