Senior Sales Manager DACH (all genders)

Valtech is hiring for a Senior Sales Manager DACH (all genders) to join us to support our ambition of becoming the leading digital agency globally.

To be successful in the role, you will know the digital agency world because you have lived it for years. You will be able to articulate the value of digital transformation to a B2B or B2C client in 50 words or less and, most importantly, as a digital native you can translate the trends and lingo of the digital world into something a C-level executive will understand, value and buy.

Your job is to know the market, hunt the business challenges that can be solved digitally, creating and pursuing opportunities with new client prospects. You know the value of getting really stuck-in to digital consulting rather than going on autopilot with generic slide decks, and you’re comfortable with positioning a full-service offering that spans strategy, creative and technology.

Critically you’ll know that digital is so much more than the website or online shop. You’ll be passionate about the impact your work has on human beings and how they experience the online world. You will be accountable to drive a lean and effective end-to-end sales process across the funnel, working with the Top500 Companies and brands, the leaders in their industries.

You will be well networked into the wider global company, using the power of the One Valtech organisation to drive the Swiss-based business.
