## Description

**Business Development Director (m/f/d)**
Full-time (40 hours per week), Hybrid (Berlin, Germany)

**About Us**
At The Global Talent Co., we provide opportunities to work with leading innovative technology companies worldwide, offering stable employment, competitive compensation, career growth, and access to a community of 25,000+ like-minded marketing professionals.

**About the Company**
You’ll be joining a Berlin-headquartered, founder-led company that has spent over a decade becoming one of Europe’s leading partners for premium custom signage, trusted by well-known brands in retail, luxury, automotive, hospitality and tech. Through people, process and technology, the team is on a mission to become the first truly scalable company in the signage industry. The next step is a dedicated new business function that wins Europe’s strongest brands.

**The Role**
As Business Development Director, you will win top-tier enterprise clients and build long-term partnerships with leading European brands. This role is both hunter and strategic advisor: you open the doors, shape complex, high-value signage deals and become a trusted partner to senior decision-makers.
You’ll work closely with the founders and an experienced team of signage experts who handle all project delivery once a client signs. This role is ideal for a commercially sharp hunter who thrives at C-suite level and wants real ownership of their pipeline and relationships.

**Key Responsibilities**

- Win large enterprise clients, from identifying the right targets to closing complex, high-value signage projects and partnerships

- Build and maintain relationships with decision-makers at eye level

- Act as the strategic link between clients and internal signage experts, writing sharp briefs and setting expectations from day one

- Develop market opportunities and identify upsell and expansion potential based on each client’s strategy

- Negotiate pricing, contract structures and procurement processes that protect margin

- Own the trade fair presence: choose the right events, show up prepared and turn conversations into pipeline

- Visit clients on-site at strategic moments, not as routine check-ins

**Ideal Candidate**

- 5+ years in strategic B2B sales or key account management, with proven closes on complex, high-value projects

- Native-level German and professional English; based in or able to work hybrid from Berlin

- Confident at decision-maker level and able to lead commercial conversations with the C-suite

- A hunter with relationship depth who opens doors independently and turns them into real partnerships

- Commercially sharp, with a strong grasp of margins, contract structures and complex procurement

- Structured and CRM-disciplined; pipeline management comes naturally

- Listens first and understands what matters to a client before pitching

**Nice to Have**

- A background in brand experience, retail or shopper marketing agencies, POS and visual merchandising, shopfitting, trade fair construction, event agencies or large-format production

- Hands-on experience with tenders, RFPs and framework agreements

- An existing network among brand, retail marketing or visual merchandising leaders in DACH
