    About this role

    Sales Director (German-speaking) Berlin, Germany · Full-time · On-site

    ABOUT US 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. ABOUT THE COMPANY 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. THE ROLE 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.
