• You contribute your expertise to internal innovation processes, for example, regarding retail brand staging, new POS potential, or data-based sales.

Your Profile:

• You have at least 3 years of professional experience in magazine sales, ideally with a strong focus on single sales, POS or media logistics.
• You know the mechanisms of the German sales system.
• You are analytical, proficient in handling IVW data and Excel – and able to derive concrete strategies from numbers.
