This role will be based in Berlin or Munich, Germany.
At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.
As a member of our Talent Solutions sales team, you will be a part of an experienced group of sales professionals who are bringing LinkedIn’s Talent Solutions products (Talent and Learning) to market. In this sales role, you will have full-cycle responsibility for driving new business but also maintaining an existing book of client relationships. This role focuses on delivering value to DACH Academics & Higher Education clients in our Mid-Market Segment.
Our team operates like a start-up, so we are looking for candidates with entrepreneurial DNA. You can handle ambiguity and improvise new processes when needed. You are solutions oriented and have a growth mindset. This role will provide the opportunity to put your own stamp on this territory. Experience implementing a ‘Go To Market’ strategy for public sector in this region would position the ideal candidate up for success.
