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 β think global household brands across Germany, Sweden, Poland, and beyond.
ΒWhat 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 β it's a proven business with real revenue, real clients, and a clear roadmap to European market leadership.
ΒWith offices in Berlin, WrocΕaw, and Helsingborg, they're at an exciting inflection point and building the senior commercial team to take them there.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
3+ years of experience in sales, with at least some time leading or mentoring a team
A strong sense of ownership β 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 β you don't need to have built it all before, but you need to be genuinely excited about it
German at native level β this is non-negotiable
