Key Account Manager (m/f/d) - B2B Ingredients

You know the world of functional ingredients? Maybe you've already worked with hydrocolloids, amino acids, probiotics, or similar additives - or advised clients on their applications? Then this might be your next big career move: lots of autonomy, meaningful work, and the opportunity to build real, long-term client relationships.

We are recruiting on behalf of a dynamic, sustainability-focused innovator - an agile company with startup spirit, backed by a renowned international corporate group. Expect flat hierarchies, fast decisions, and a high-quality product with a strong USP.

Your Responsibilities

• Develop and manage key accounts in the D-A-CH region, especially in the beverage, food, and (additionally) health & cosmetics industries.
• Actively grow your network, acquire new clients, and co-develop plant-based ingredient applications tailored to their needs.
• Sell a technically sophisticated product with a focus on **quality, sustainability, and innovation**.
• Collaborate closely with R&D and product management to deliver high-value, consultative support.
• Report directly to the CEO - short lines of communication and plenty of room to shape things.

What You Bring

• Initial experience in B2B sales - ideally in ingredients, additives, or functional raw materials.
• Industry contacts? Great! If not, you're confident in targeted acquisition and opening new doors.
• Technical understanding and the ability to communicate product benefits clearly and convincingly.
• A structured, independent working style - you take ownership and follow through.
• Excellent German and English skills (spoken and written) - other languages always welcome.
• You live in Germany, ideally within easy reach of an international airport (e.g. FRA, DUS, MUC).

What Awaits You

• A sustainable product with a clear USP - ideal for premium applications.
• A growing team with a **startup mindset** and the stability of a global parent company.
• Plenty of room for initiative, direct CEO contact, flat hierarchies, and strong development opportunities.
• Attractive compensation package plus company car allowance - **rent what you like**.
• Remote work as standard - with occasional presence near Berlin and, of course, at your key accounts.
• A meaningful role in the thriving market for healthy, sustainable nutrition.
