, we are looking for someone who understands technical contexts, actively manages customer relationships and identifies new market potential.

• You manage existing key accounts and further develop long-term customer relationships.
• You acquire new customers for demanding applications using advanced ceramics.
• You identify market and customer potential and translate it into concrete sales approaches.

• You understand customer requirements and bring them into targeted collaboration with internal specialist departments.

• You have excellent German and English language skills.
• You are confident in using common MS Office applications.
• You are willing to travel, approximately 30% of your working time.
