Are you itching to work on growing a completely new business within industrial IoT? Eager to offer global customers the smartest possible solutions and services and take part in our success story?

Elisa Smart Factory is a new and rapidly growing IIoT business domain, functioning as an individual startup within Finland's leading ICT company Elisa. Yes, you heard right - combining the advantages of working in a small and lean startup with the resources and financial stability of a corporation is really possible, and we warmly welcome you to come experience it yourself!

Our objective is to build smart solutions for manufacturers to help them increase efficiency and optimize production, all based on analytics and machine learning that lies in the heart of our doing. We are an active partner in the European 4.0 Transformation Center (and the only Nordic one), and our success story has already gained international recognition both here and there.

The growth of Elisa Smart Factory is substantial, which is why we are now strengthening our team in Germany with a Sales Director, Central Europe. Your employer will be Elisa Deutschland GmbH, and you may work from our premises in Aachen, Germany, or remotely – wherever you feel most comfortable.

What would you be doing?

Simply put, you will be responsible for the whole sales process in Central Europe. We have gotten the sales up and running nicely in Germany from the beginning of the year and need you to expand and develop our sales within Central Europe and respond to the large demand we are experiencing. You’ll have an independent role where you’re work is guided by your personal goals: number of new accounts and revenue. We have full trust on your work, so how you will reach these goals – it’s up to you.

You’ll be working primarily with large and middle size companies in different industries. Don’t worry, you won’t be working alone. You’ll have the support of our Pre-Sales and Delivery team in Finland, which will help you with contracts, execution and technical pre-sales matters. As we are working with a completely new business, you will naturally have the chance to develop and build the delivery and sales process from scratch.

What do we expect from you?

In order for you to succeed in this role, we expect you to have previous experience from solution selling and acquiring new accounts. You have a relevant academic background, preferably Master’s or PhD from Technical field. You will without doubt benefit from any knowledge or background in the industrial or industrial software industry. Because this position involves close contact with the customers and building new relationships, you are approachable and it is easy for you to build new long-lasting relationships. You feel at home in a fast-paced and agile environment, where we are constantly looking for ways to do things better. You can do business in German and in English.

Why should you join us?

We are not your ordinary telco corporation. Working in our team is, according to the team members, very much like working in a startup - except you don't have to worry about the financial aspects. Most of your team is based in Helsinki, Finland, but we care more about how well you do your job rather than from where you do it. We offer you a whole new level of flexibility - not only do you work from wherever is best for you, but also with a freedom and responsibility that is truly unique. Elisa is by proof one of the best places to work in Finland, our extremely friendly and low-hierarchy culture spreading around the world with us. Check out more reasons to join us.
