Job description

Your Next B2B Sales Masterpiece: Lead Complex Nutraceutical Deals That Actually Matter

Most job ads are a copy-paste sea of corporate jargon. Let’s skip the fluff and talk reality.

We are exclusively representing a bootstrapped, highly profitable, founder-led powerhouse in the premium supplement space. They are transitioning their highly successful B2B contract manufacturing unit from its pilot phase into a full-scale empire, and they need a heavy-hitting Teamlead Project Sales to take the reins.

You aren’t going to be pushing cheap, boxed commodities. You will be sitting across the table from pharma execs and premium health brand founders, architecting bespoke white-label and private-label nutraceutical pipelines.

The Reality Check: Who Should NOT Apply

Let’s save everyone some time. Our client is ruthlessly protective of their high-performance culture. Based on exactly what they do not want, close this tab immediately if:

• You are a transactional order-taker: If your background is in basic D2C e-commerce, mass-market retail, or transactional sales without complex project cycles, this role will eat you alive.
• You are an outsider to the industry: If you have zero experience in supplements, nutraceuticals, or contract manufacturing, this is a hard pass.

The Non-Negotiables (What You MUST Bring)

• 5+ Years of Complex B2B Dominance: You have managed long, complex project sales cycles and scaled key accounts.
• Deep Industry DNA: Tangible, hands-on experience in private-label, white-label, or contract manufacturing within the health/supplement sector.
• Proven Tenure: A resume that tells a story of commitment and internal career progression.
• Leadership Instincts: First-hand experience coordinating, prioritizing, and enabling a small sales team (you will manage 2-3 Project Sales Managers).
• Linguistic & Geographic Fit: Fluent in both German and English. You must be able to work out of the Waghäusel, Germany office (this is a hybrid role, not fully remote).

The Mission

Own and scale strategic key-account relationships across the health market (pharma, premium supplement brands, pharmacies).

Design bespoke sales proposals, navigating complex pricing, formulations, and contract terms.

Lead contract negotiations to a successful, lucrative close.

Feed real-time market insights back to product and performance marketing teams.

Transition a scaling B2B unit into an industry heavyweight with direct access to the founders.

The Payoff & Perks

You bring the performance; they bring the reward.

• Compensation: €75,000 – €90,000 gross p.a. base + a lucrative performance-based bonus.
• Time Off: 31 days of vacation (including Christmas and New Year as gifted days off).
• Flexibility: Hybrid setup allowing up to 2 days in the home office per week.
• Health & Wealth: Company pension scheme, growth bonuses, and an annual health voucher.
<
• The Extras: 25% employee discount, free matcha flat-rate, corporate benefits, team events, and a dedicated mental health program (OpenUp).
