  • Experience selling enterprise software in supply chain management, vendor or supplier management, finance, accounts payable, or budget control.

  • Strong stakeholder-mapping skills and confidence navigating complex enterprise buying committees.

  • Full working proficiency in both German and English, with curiosity about procurement and industries such as energy, automotive, and chemicals.
