Sales manager in der Unternehmensberatung

A global player with a presence in 34 countries and more than 6,000 employees. In Germany, we are represented in Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Munich, Stuttgart, Hamburg, and Berlin. Our mission is to bring people and companies together through well-founded consulting, strong relationships, and suitable career opportunities. Our culture is collegial, dynamic, inclusive, and shaped by opportunities for development.

• You build long-term B2B business relationships and develop into the first point of contact for hiring managers, department heads, and managing directors. You understand your clients’ challenges, growth targets, and staffing needs, and support them in finding the right talent.
• You analyze your clients’ business models, organizational structures, and market conditions. This helps you understand not only the open position, but also the company culture, framework conditions, and strategic goals behind a hire.
• You identify new business opportunities, win exciting mandates, and conduct professional consulting and sales conversations with decision-makers. From the first contact through to contract signing, you actively shape the entire business development process.
• You advise clients on creating job profiles, define requirements for specialists and managers together with them, and develop individual recruiting and talent sourcing strategies.
• While our specialized recruiting teams identify and approach suitable candidates, you are the central point of contact on the client side. You coordinate the process, present suitable profiles, and ensure professional communication between everyone involved.
• You manage the entire placement process, organize interviews, facilitate feedback rounds, and ensure projects are delivered efficiently, with a solution-oriented approach and a high level of service quality.
• You systematically build your own client base, develop existing partnerships, and identify opportunities for additional projects and long-term collaboration.
• You independently plan, prioritize, and manage your projects. You keep client requirements, project progress, and commercial targets in view at all times.
• You conduct contract and fee negotiations with clients and support candidates through the final decision-making phase. With your negotiation skills, you create sustainable solutions for everyone involved.
• You represent Michael Page at client meetings, industry events, and networking events, continuously expand your network, and position yourself as a knowledgeable point of contact in your market segment.
• As a trusted sparring partner, you advise companies over the long term on market trends, talent availability, salary developments, and growth strategies. This creates value that goes far beyond filling individual positions.

• You want to actively shape your success, take on responsibility, and work with people.
• Initial experience in sales, business development, or a B2B environment is an advantage. Even more important is your motivation to develop further.
• You think in a solution-oriented way, approach challenges positively, and want to keep learning.
