Key Account Manager (m/f/d) - B2B Ingredients **Focus on Beverage, Food & Health • D-A-CH Region • Remote-Friendly** You know the world of functional ingredients? Maybe you've already worked with hydrocolloids, amino acids, probiotics, or similar additives - or advised clients on their applications? Then this might be your next big career move: lots of autonomy, meaningful work, and the opportunity to build real, long-term client relationships. We are recruiting on behalf of a dynamic, sustainability-focused innovator - an agile company with startup spirit, backed by a renowned international corporate group. Expect flat hierarchies, fast decisions, and a high-quality product with a strong USP. Your Responsibilities Develop and manage key accounts in the D-A-CH region, especially in the beverage, food, and (additionally) health & cosmetics industries. Actively grow your network, acquire new clients, and co-develop plant-based ingredient applications tailored to their needs. Sell a technically sophisticated product with a focus on **quality, sustainability, and innovation**. Collaborate closely with R&D and product management to deliver high-value, consultative support. Report directly to the CEO - short lines of communication and plenty of room to shape things. What You Bring Initial experience in B2B sales - ideally in ingredients, additives, or functional raw materials. Industry contacts? Great! If not, you're confident in targeted acquisition and opening new doors. Technical understanding and the ability to communicate product benefits clearly and convincingly. A structured, independent working style - you take ownership and follow through. Excellent German and English skills (spoken and written) - other languages always welcome. You live in Germany, ideally within easy reach of an international airport (e.g. FRA, DUS, MUC). What Awaits You A sustainable product with a clear USP - ideal for premium applications. A growing team with a **startup mindset** and the stability of a global parent company. Plenty of room for initiative, direct CEO contact, flat hierarchies, and strong development opportunities. Attractive compensation package plus company car allowance - **rent what you like**. Remote work as standard - with occasional presence near Berlin and, of course, at your key accounts. A meaningful role in the thriving market for healthy, sustainable nutrition. Ready to Make a Difference? We'd love to hear from you!
