Join a growing, agile commercial team in our Düsseldorf  / Frankfurt Office, where you help shape how we combine key account activities and wholesale origination on the German power and gas market. Rather than stepping into a fixed, pre-defined function, you will build your own focus within this spectrum — from relationship-driven client management to structured deal origination — based on your strengths and interests.

  • Take ownership of generating new revenues by actively hunting for and converting new business opportunities, expanding the client portfolio and consistently delivering against commercial and revenue targets.
  • Play a pivotal role in shaping the sales approach and strategies for client accounts in an agile go-to-market approach (“design – try – scale or drop”)
  • Lead contract negotiations, ensuring mutually beneficial agreements that support both client and company goals.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, ensuring customer satisfaction and long-term loyalty.
  • Provide regular reports on sales activities, client feedback, and market insights to management.
  • Represent the company at client meetings, industry conferences, and various events to promote its products, services, and brand image.
