About You:
If you possess a deep understanding of the German wholesale market, a rich background in B2B sales within the tobacco or vaping industry, and a proven track record of developing successful sales teams, as a national or regional sales manager, we want to hear from you. Experience the professional satisfaction of translating market potential into real success, helping shape industry trends, and achieving ambitious growth targets.

This role can be located from the Frankfurt, Munich or Dortmund region. It is national and field based with a home office set up.
The Offer:
