Do you want to play a major role in the expansion of a unique sharing economy concept to Germany?
Freetrailer enables consumers to cheaply rent trailers and cargo bikes from partners of Freetrailer that, in turn, receive offline, effective branding on the trailers and a unique delivery service at their local shop.

- Responsible for all sales activities in your area with a primary focus on new partner acquisition.

- Communicative sales personality with excellent negotiation skills.
- Professional, persuasive demeanour and high commitment.
- High willingness to travel (to Germany) and a valid driver’s licence.
- Your educational background is not decisive; what matters is that you possess the important and right “sales gene,” have a lot of positive energy, and are hungry for success in sales.
- You are naturally curious, doing your homework to understand the business context and partner needs. This is one of the reasons you’re able to build strong partner relationships.
- You work in a structured manner, have strong analytical skills, a holistic view of problems and opportunities, and a fact-based approach to your arguments, as well as a keen eye for IT and details.
- Experience with CRM and/or pipeline tools (i.e. Pipedrive or Salesforce) and a willingness to adapt to new productivity tools.
- You are a strong communicator, both in writing and verbally. Fluent German skills are required, along with advanced English proficiency (as you will work in an international office).
Freetrailer offers:
- An independent, exciting, and development-oriented role in a high-performing, well-established, and highly growth-oriented publicly listed tech company.
- A position in a company with autonomous freedom and great flexibility, allowing you significant influence over your own workday and its development.
