Business Development Manager – Wearables

Are you a technical B2B sales or business development professional ready to build a global OEM business from the ground up?

We're working with an innovative venture-backed deep-tech company developing next-generation ultra-thin printed heat-flux sensors that make heat flow measurable — opening new possibilities across wearables, consumer health, defense, and battery applications.

• Strong negotiation, analytical and problem-solving skills


• Business-fluent German and English


• Willingness to travel internationally ~10 weeks per year


• Experience with major wearable manufacturers, consumer electronics, medtech, defense, or an existing wearables/ODM network is a strong plus.

Why consider this opportunity?

• Play a key role in bringing novel sensor technology to the global wearables market


• High autonomy and direct collaboration with founders & engineering


• Uncapped performance bonus + equity participation


• International exposure with leading global OEMs


• Hybrid working model with 1–2 home-office days/week
