Sales Manager Truck Charging (m/f/d) – Region Southern Germany – Hybrid

Are you looking for a role where you can drive the electrification of truck fleets directly at the customer's site and help shape a new business area from the very beginning?

Then you're in the right place.

As a Sales Manager Truck Charging (m/f/d) – Region Southern Germany, you will play a key role in building our truck charging business. Daimler Buses Solutions GmbH helps freight carriers, logistics providers and other fleet operators make the switch to electric trucks, from depot concepts and charging infrastructure to the software that controls vehicles and charging points. To keep this growth going, we are looking for a new team member as soon as possible.

Your tasks: 

• You own your sales territory and look after freight carriers, logistics providers and other fleet operators, from the first conversation through to signing contracts for charging infrastructure or entire construction projects.
• You generate your own leads through our CRM, at trade fairs such as IAA Transportation and transport logistic, and together with the sales channels of Daimler Truck Germany.
• You analyse customer inquiries and tenders and work with engineering and technology teams to develop tailored, competitive offers. Tour profiles, shift patterns, vehicle dwell times, the available grid connection at the site and the customer's budget all come together here.
• You build business cases independently and make the total cost of ownership (TCO) of an electric truck fleet tangible for customers. Our Charging-as-a-Service model, in which customers pay a recurring fee to use the charging infrastructure instead of buying it, further improves their TCO.
• You stay close to existing customers. In regular business reviews, you identify growth potential, such as additional sites or charging points as the e-fleet expands, and pass market insights on to our engineering team.

• You bring at least two years of B2B sales experience with complex solutions, ideally from logistics, commercial vehicles, automotive or the energy sector. A completed degree in business, business engineering or a technical field forms the foundation.
• You are passionate about the electrification of road freight, from urban distribution to long-haul. You follow developments in e-trucks, charging technology and funding programmes on your own initiative.
• Your motivation comes from within. You tackle topics before anyone asks you to, and ambitious goals spur you on rather than hold you back.
• You work independently. You organise your appointments, customer visits and pipeline yourself, and you make decisions in your territory that move you and the project forward.
• You are eager to learn. You don't need to master grid connection, load management or funding programmes in detail yet, but you pick things up quickly and take something from every project.
• You have very good German and English skills; additional languages are a plus.
• You live in Southern Germany.
• About 70% of your time is spent at depots and logistics centres in your region. The rest is flexible, either from home or at one of our locations.
