Country Manager India (f/m/x)

Building a market presence from the ground up -- attractive compensation package incl. equity participation / India

Your Role
In this pioneering position, you will take full ownership of the market development in India. This means building the local organisation from scratch, including the future founding of a legal entity, acquiring new customers across manufacturing industries and academic institutions, and developing a reliable network of sales and service partners. You will manage complex, high-value sales projects independently -- guiding customers from the initial consultation through technical evaluation and solution design all the way to contract closure. Close coordination with the German headquarters ensures strong presales and service support, allowing you to focus on what matters most: winning business and growing the market. You will also represent the company at trade fairs, industry events and academic forums, and ensure that centrally developed marketing content is effectively translated into the local context. Building a strong working relationship with the parent company and its relevant departments will be central to your long-term success.

Your Profile
We are looking for a technically educated, commercially driven personality with at least five to ten years of experience in the sale of high-value, technically complex capital goods within the Indian market. A completed degree in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, electrical engineering or measurement technology forms the foundation of your expertise. You have a proven track record of opening new markets, winning new customers and operating with a high degree of independence. You are comfortable navigating long sales cycles with multiple stakeholders -- from procurement managers and quality directors to C-level executives and university professors. Your strength lies not in managing teams, but in opening doors, building trust and closing deals. You are proactive, self-directed and motivated by the challenge of creating something new rather than maintaining the status quo. Fluent English is essential; proficiency in Hindi is a strong advantage. You think and act like an entrepreneur, bring strong negotiation skills and are not deterred by long decision-making processes on the customer side. Experience in business development, after-sales or presales in a related field is equally welcome.

What's on Offer
This position offers an exceptional degree of entrepreneurial freedom within the structure of a globally respected company. You will benefit from extensive support from the headquarters -- including technical presales, after-sales service and marketing -- while having the space to develop your own market strategy. The compensation model is designed to reward performance: a solid base salary (from approx. EUR 100,000 gross p.a.) is complemented by an uncapped, revenue-based variable component. An equity participation model is also under consideration depending on individual fit and performance. A comprehensive onboarding programme at the German headquarters will set you up for lasting success.

If you are ready to write the next chapter of this success story in India, we look forward to receiving your application (Ref. No. 6268-AT). Strict confidentiality is guaranteed.
