Jobbeschreibung

Business Development Manager – Active Ingredients SkinCare DACH

We are looking for someone who already knows this market from the inside.

Someone with 5 to 10 years of experience selling premium cosmetic active ingredients in Germany, who understands the customers, the decision-making process, the competitive landscape and what it takes to create value in a high‑end, science‑driven environment.

But more than experience, what matters to us is the pleasure of building. We are not looking for someone to simply manage an existing business or execute a predefined sales plan.

We are looking for someone who enjoys starting from a blank page, creating momentum where there was none, opening doors, building relationships, shaping a market and watching something grow because they made it happen.

This is not a role for someone whose main motivation is simply to take the next step in their career or move into a more senior position.

You need to enjoy the uncertainty and freedom that come with building from scratch. There will not always be a predefined roadmap, a ready‑made customer list or a perfectly established way of doing things.

That is precisely what makes the role exciting. And that is the kind of person we want around us at ALGAKTIV.

If what excites you is creating, building, owning and seeing the tangible result of what you have developed, then we should talk.
