- Network Expansion: Build, nurture, and strategically expand your network of decision-makers within German and international financial institutions.
- Solution Presentation: Conduct compelling product demos and pitch presentations that highlight the business value of automated account-switching, transaction data analytics, and open banking solutions.

- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with product, technical implementation, and support teams to ensure smooth customer onboarding and long-term satisfaction.
- Client Care & Events: Allocate approximately 30% of your time to supporting existing key accounts, providing occasional product guidance, and representing the brand at key industry fairs, conferences, and client meetings (approx. 2 trips per month).
