Then we at PCC Thorion GmbH offer you the right framework for the development of your skills. Because, together with you, we want to make the world a little better. As a young and innovative technology company within the PCC Group (https://pcc.eu/en/company), we are working on novel, high-performance materials for the coming generations of battery cells. In our work, we cooperate closely with international partners from the battery industry for exciting applications such as micromobility, electric vehicles and power tools.

We are looking for a senior sales professional who understands the battery materials ecosystem and knows how business really happens in this industry.

Not a corporate salesperson.

Not a pure engineer.

Someone who has actually sold into the battery sector and understands the complex path from technical validation to long-term commercial contracts.

Your location should be in Europe (Germany / France / DACH preferred) with the willingness for frequent travel – because real business still happens face-to-face.

• working with gigafactories or cell manufacturers
• managing long sales cycles and strategic supply agreements

• developing and implementing of sales strategies, target agreements (KPIs) and measures to optimize sales
• identification, approach and acquisition of new customers as well as support and expansion of long-term customer relationships
• conducting complex price and contract negotiations through to completion
• monitoring competitors and market trends as well as analysing sales figures (reporting)

This role is for someone entrepreneurial, curious and comfortable operating in complex industrial environments.
Someone who prefers building new business rather than maintaining existing accounts

• background in economics, usually have a demonstrable track record in sales lasting several years.
• 10 years of Industry Experience (including a minimum of 5 years strictly in the battery/materials sector)
• Proven negotiation skills and leadership skills are crucial.
• your excellent communication skills in Englisch and German are indispensable (French is a plus)
• strong people skills and team players

• a role at the center of Europe’s emerging battery supply chain
• real responsibility and freedom to build partnerships
• performance-based compensation and long-term upside
• flat hierarchies that offer direct communication and fast decision-making processes
• opportunity for training for personal and content development
• corporate benefits

Then we look forward to receiving your application, which you should please send by email to karriere@pcc.eu, stating your salary expectations and the earliest possible start date.
