Account Manager (m/f/d) Packaging

Intro

Is packaging more than just cardboard and tape to you? It is the first impression an online retailer leaves on their customers.

We are currently expanding our business division focused on packaging and packaging materials in Leipzig. In doing so, we offer our entrepreneurial clients, with a target group focus on E-Commerce, exactly what they need for their business. All of this with significant momentum and growth potential. What is still missing is someone to drive this project forward from a sales perspective: You will lay the foundation for Inbound and Outbound Sales, build a structure that grows with us, and ensure that one-time buyers become loyal, long-term customers.

In short: You are the engine that turns a young, ambitious project into a solid pillar of our business. Does this sound like your stage, and do you have an existing network in the packaging & cardboard sector? Then apply now!

Your Tasks

• Inbound Sales: You handle incoming inquiries, provide expert advice, and convert interest into revenue.

• Customer Consulting within the Team: Together with the Product team and the Support team, you find the right solution for every customer inquiry.

• Outbound Sales: You actively approach potential customers and generate new business opportunities.

• Key Accounts & Repeat Buyers: You build long-term customer relationships and turn first-time buyers into reliable regular customers.

• Scalable Sales Structure: You develop and maintain processes that can keep up with our growing warehouse.

• Strategic Direction: You contribute your ideas on where we should head and actively help shape the next growth steps.

• Field Sales Support: For lucrative opportunities and promising key accounts, you will also be on-site.

• Revenue Generation: You directly shape our revenue development and ideally bring initial networking opportunities with you.

Your Profile

• Professional Expertise: At least 3 years of sales experience in the packaging and cardboard sector; touchpoints with the E-Commerce target group are a plus.

• Dealmaking: You know how to close deals so that the customer signs with a positive feeling.

• Problem-Solving Skills: You analyze complex issues efficiently and find solutions that are also practically implementable.

• Initiative and Development Potential: You want to actively help shape the internal warehouse project and develop yourself along with the business.

• Adaptability: You remain flexible when things change in a growing case and keep a cool head when prioritizing, even under pressure.

• Communication Skills: You communicate proactively and at eye level with internal and external stakeholders alike.

• Deliver+1 Mentality: The ambition to deliver more than expected is not just a phrase for you, but a lived practice.

• Network: Ideally, you already bring contacts from the E-Commerce target group, which will facilitate a quick start with corresponding revenue targets.

Why us?

• Work 4 days & 3 days for yourself: For us, the 4-day week is not an extra, but the standard. More time for life, every week. Whether you work in the Leipzig office or remotely from anywhere in Germany – the choice is yours. Flexible working hours are included on top. We rely on trust, give you responsibility, and offer you a permanent contract from the start.
• Shape instead of just execute: Do you want to think along, contribute, and really make a difference? That is exactly what Händlerbund stands for. Initiative counts here, and of course, the togetherness: Whether at joint events, summer parties, or relaxed lunch breaks at the grill, fun is not neglected.
• Snacks, Style & animal Feelgood-Managers: Whether coffee, water, muesli, or fruit - we have you covered. Dress code? None. Just be yourself. And if your dog is your favorite companion, bring them along! They are very welcome in the office.
• Benefits that count: Childcare subsidy, support for retirement provision, Leipzig Jobticket, or sports offers for your balance – from home gym to fitness studio for mind and body.
