KEY ACCOUNT DIRECTOR, NEW BUSINESS: ENTERPRISE BRAND PARTNERSHIPS (German-speaking)
Berlin, Germany · Hybrid · Full-time

ABOUT US
At The Global Talent Co., we connect exceptional commercial talent with high-growth European businesses. We offer 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. It is trusted by some of the most recognised names in retail, luxury, automotive, hospitality, and tech, and its 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 a commercial function to match.

THE ROLE
This role is built for a hunter. You've spent years selling complex, physical brand solutions such as retail environments, POS and visual merchandising, shop fitting, trade fair builds, brand experiences, or large-format production.

Show full description

You know what it takes to move a physical project from first brief to signed contract, and you know how to hold your ground with procurement along the way.

You're not coming in to manage an existing book. You're coming in to open doors. Once you bring a client in, an expert internal team handles all delivery, so your focus stays on pipeline and new accounts.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Proactively identify and win new enterprise brand accounts, from first outreach through to signed deal

Build and own relationships with Heads of Brand, Retail Marketing, Visual Merchandising, and senior marketing leaders across Europe

Navigate multi-stakeholder buying processes involving marketing, retail operations, and procurement

Scope complex physical projects with clients and brief internal experts sharply from day one

Grow accounts over time through upsell, repeat orders, and multi-location rollouts

Represent the company at relevant trade fairs and industry events, such as EuroShop, chosen selectively and worked strategically

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

New business, key account, or sales experience at one of the following:

Brand experience, retail, or shopper marketing agencies

POS and visual merchandising agencies or suppliers

Shop building or trade fair construction companies

Event agencies with retail or gastro clients

Large-format printing and production companies

A track record of selling complex physical builds or projects to enterprise brands

Hands-on experience with procurement: tenders, RFPs, pricing negotiations, and framework agreements

A genuine hunter mentality. You're comfortable building pipeline from scratch and getting in front of the right people

Commercially structured: you manage a pipeline with discipline and keep complex deals moving

Native-level German essential; professional English required

WHAT'S ON OFFER

Genuine autonomy: your desk, your relationships, your outcomes

A Berlin-based hybrid role with a founder-led team that has been building since 2014

The chance to sell a product that major European brands genuinely love, with zero delivery responsibility once you close
