Job Overview

Our client is looking for a highly capable, German-speaking professional who can combine administrative support with senior-level sales development.

This is a hybrid position supporting the CEO of a small software development and process automation business. The successful candidate will handle day-to-day administrative and back-office responsibilities while also taking ownership of outbound sales prospecting and appointment setting.

The role requires someone who is equally comfortable managing professional German-language correspondence, maintaining accurate business documentation, and engaging German-speaking business owners through high-volume outbound calls.

The primary objective is to free up the CEO's time by taking ownership of administrative tasks and generating qualified sales opportunities.
