Berlin, Germany · Hybrid · Full-time

Since 2014, this Berlin-headquartered company has quietly become Europe's leading partner for premium custom signage — trusted by some of the most recognised names in retail, luxury, automotive, hospitality, and tech. Their 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 the commercial function to match.

This role is built for someone who has spent years sitting on the agency or media side of the table — someone who has managed senior brand relationships, understood client budgets and brand strategies from the inside, and knows exactly how major companies make commercial decisions.

You're not coming in to manage an existing book. You're coming in to open doors — using the fluency, the network, and the instincts you've built working with or alongside major brands. Once you bring a client in, an expert internal team handles all delivery. Your focus stays on pipeline and partnerships.

Tasks

Identify and win new enterprise brand partnerships — from first conversation through to signed deal

Build and own relationships at CMO, Head of Brand, and senior marketing level across Europe

Leverage your agency or media background to speak the language of brand clients and navigate their internal structures

Act as the strategic bridge between client needs and internal experts — briefing sharply from day one

Identify growth and upsell opportunities within existing accounts over time

Represent the company at relevant industry events with intent — chosen selectively, worked strategically

Requirements

Background in a commercial role at a marketing, creative, or media agency — account director, business development, group account, partnerships, or similar

Alternatively: brand partnerships, advertising sales, or commercial development at a media company or publisher

A track record of managing or winning high-value client relationships at senior levelComfortable in conversations with CMOs, Heads of Brand, and senior procurement — you know how these conversations go

A natural opener — you understand how to get in front of the right people and make the relationship feel earned, not cold

Commercially structured — you understand how to navigate complex deals, manage a pipeline, and keep things moving

Native-level German essential; professional English required

Benefits

Genuine autonomy — your desk, your relationships, your outcomes

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

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

If this sounds like the right next step for you, we'd love to hear from you.
