Area Manager (m/f/d) – Food Service / Catering for the Greater Leipzig Area
Important note before we begin: For this role, we require you to be based in Leipzig or the surrounding area. Are you familiar with the hospitality industry, passionate about sales, and keen to actively develop your territory? If so, we have a field sales role for you offering a great deal of personal responsibility and scope to shape your own work. 🤝Sales is about having the drive and the skills: you enjoy engaging with people and breaking new ground, and you also have the resilience and ambition needed to learn from setbacks (‘a willingness to fail’). As a District Manager, you’ll be close to our customers, identify local opportunities and drive growth in your district with an entrepreneurial mindset. 🚀
