Teamlead Sales Operations

Team Language: German

Employment Type: Permanent, full-time (40 hours/week). Part-time arrangements possible upon agreement. Preferred start date: as soon as possible.

About the Role

As Teamlead Sales Operations (f/m/d), you will ensure that our partner and campaign processes run reliably today while becoming significantly simpler, more data-driven, and increasingly automated for the future. You will lead and develop your team, further enhance operational standards and steering mechanisms, and collaborate closely with Product, Analytics, and IT to shape the systems and self-service solutions of tomorrow.

This role combines hands-on operational leadership with a strong focus on scalability, quality, and sustainable transformation. Rather than stepping into a fully established setup, you will take on a genuine opportunity to shape and evolve the function.

• Ensure the reliable, timely, and high-quality execution of our partner and campaign operations processes.
• Work closely with Sales, Product, Analytics, and IT teams and represent Sales Operations requirements in cross-functional projects.

This role is a great fit if you...
