Background
Cashmaster International is a leading, global player in the design, manufacture, and sale of cash management products and solutions.
With the company experiencing high growth in Germany, and a commitment underway towards broadening our product range and territorial reach across Europe, we are very keen to recruit a capable, ambitious, and proven Senior Business Development executive to lead and manage the pursuit of additional growth and contribute to our future success.
Please consider the following to see if this role is the right fit for you...
With the Cashmaster One money-counting range, Cashmaster already holds many existing customer relationships with leading players within the European retail, convenience-store, grocery, fast-food, and hospitality sectors. Recently, we have broadened our product range with the introduction of additional complementary products including counterfeit note detectors, with further initiatives are in progress to launch other innovative products and solutions associated with cash management.
To help us promote and sell these products and solutions to new customers and also open up new territories/channels, we seek to recruit a highly motivated and enthusiastic Senior Business Development Director, ideally with hands-on experience in selling technology-based solutions and products in a B2B environment.
Key attributes for success
This position requires strong inter-personal relationship development and solution selling skills which will be supported by relevant prospecting, lead generation and account management experience.
As a hands-on contributor to the sales process, the role also offers management of the full sales cycle - from that first outreach activity right through to contract negotiation and conversion.
The role involves hybrid working arrangements between home and regular travel as required to meet new prospects (and a few existing customers) within Germany and across Europe, as well as visiting our Support Centre in Huckelhoven, near Cologne.

• A hunter: you can demonstrate enthusiasm and initiative to build a strong pipeline of new opportunities, targeting c-suite decision makers as necessary.
• A self-starter and a problem solver: you learn with every challenge. You are looking for solutions rather than describing the problems.
• Committed and reliable: you value autonomy and work well remotely, across time zones and territories.
• Marketing cognizant - you have strong experience in innovative techniques that build brand awareness and efficiently grow our sales pipeline, and will be a strong contributor to the planning of our strategic marketing initiatives.
