About the job
The Baumer Group is an internationally leading manufacturer of sensors and measuring instruments for factory and process automation. We owe this success to our approximately 2,800 employees worldwide, who are always passionately, expertly and committedly searching for the best solutions for our customers.
With over 500 sales colleagues in our international sales organisations, we ensure that we are close to the customer.
In my team, it counts to turn our ambitions into concrete successes. For our sales region Central Europe (DE/AT/CH/PL), I am looking for you to support this important region in our ambitions: with a clear focus on consistent market development and the claim not only to plan results but to realise them. You take responsibility, set priorities and ensure together with your team that potential turns into measurable success.
It is important to me that you are a thinker of opportunities and an enabler. You have an eye for the big picture, can think analytically and implement pragmatically at the same time. With your authentic and binding manner, you succeed in engaging people, inspiring them and building trust – both within the team and with our customers.
With us, you will find an environment that gives you freedom and demands personal responsibility. I wish for someone who thrives in this and is eager to make a difference together with the team and me. Our goal: to further establish Baumer in the Central region as a strong, reliable partner for holistic sensor solutions and to unlock further potential.
