Assistant Sales Manager (m/w/d)

New ways of making furniture: How you can help shape the future with Pollmeier

The furniture industry is undergoing a transformation: until now, solid wood furniture has often been made from non-standardized boards – a labor-intensive, expensive and barely scalable process. The reason is simple: until now, there has been no supplier capable of manufacturing solid wood components with industrial precision, quality and cost-effectiveness.

Our standardized solid wood components enable furniture manufacturers worldwide to radically simplify production processes, significantly reduce costs and standardize designs – without compromising on creative freedom. What used to be complex, expensive and highly individualized in terms of craftsmanship is now becoming scalable, automated and economically attractive.

The market success of our Pollmeier products does not happen automatically – it is the result of consistent and focused sales efforts.

This is exactly where you come in: We are looking for an Assistant to the Sales Manager with sales experience who is keen to take on responsibility and has a desire to develop further. You will work closely with the Sales Manager, supporting him in managing the various markets and, in doing so, gaining the experience to eventually lead your own team.
