Job description

Welcome to Foundational Sales – a new global organisation at the Siemens level. Our mission is to build ONE Sales Fabric: a consistent, scalable, and data-driven go-to-market foundation that empowers our Sales Units to win in their Verticals and markets – and that makes it easier for our customers to do business with Siemens. Our work spans six focus areas – Process & Data Domain, Sales Enablement & Activation, Digital Sales Channel, Vertical Governance & Operations, Demand Acceleration, and Partner Sales. Together, we create the shared standards, systems, and AI-enabled capabilities behind one coordinated face to the customer. Do you want to help redefine how a global tech company sells in the AI era? Then join us – and through radical collaboration and the "Together, unless" principle, help unlock the power of ONE.

Digital Sales Channel enables scalable, profitable growth by designing and operating Siemens' digital sales ecosystem – owning the end-to-end digital customer lifecycle, the core digital business platform, and the digital go-to-market that amplifies direct and partner sales.

Within Digital Sales Channel, the Strategy & Governance Team defines the strategic direction, investment priorities and operating model to drive digital growth across the business. By combining strategy, governance, and data-driven performance insights, we help transform ambitious ideas into measurable commercial impact.

The Performance Insights team defines the value realisation and performance measurement framework for Digital Sales, ensuring end-to-end visibility of data and generating actionable insights that enable stakeholders to continuously optimise the customer journey, platform performance, customer adoption and commercial success.

At Siemens, our Total Rewards approach is designed to inspire innovation, reward impact, and support your well-being at every stage of your career. From competitive pay and benefits to recognition and development opportunities, we help you thrive both personally and professionally.
