Sales Manager (m/f/d) - with Focus on Distributors Area Western and Southern Europe

We are Nexaro - a tech start-up from Wuppertal and a Vorwerk Group member that is leading professional commercial cleaning into a new age. Our mission: to use intelligent technology to make cleaning processes easier - and ease the burden of people's everyday work.
As experts for robotics and digital solutions, we develop products that are practical, reliable, and easy to understand. We believe in true partnership and respect, genuine curiosity, and brave ideas - and that progress should always serve people's needs.
We are certain that achieving a better tomorrow means working together today, and our Nexaro team is working toward this future every day.
Our culture is defined by our company's clear values. We deal with challenges by finding solutions, relying on our hands-on mentality and an awareness of the 80/20 rule. Our goal isn't perfection, but rather effectiveness. We learn from mistakes, because we know that only those who act can fail—and get better. At Nexaro, feedback is seen as an opportunity, and it is a regular part of our daily work.
Responsibility is not something that arises from a hierarchy, but rather from the combination of competence and motivation. We encourage initiative and self-organization. Trust is the foundation of everything we do - both internally and in dealing with our partners and customers.
Here, innovation means questioning the status quo and being willing to pursue unconventional paths. Not only technological concepts, but also and most of all the courage to explore new ideas. Because repeating the past is not an option.
