Sales Agent / Technical Sourcing Partner (H/F)

About us

Your role

You are the technical and commercial link between French buyers and our Indian manufacturing partners:

• Acquisition & account management of French mid-market clients (owner-operated machine builders, plant engineering firms, automotive and aerospace suppliers)
• RFQ qualification: read drawings, assess tolerances, materials and feasibility — and judge which parts are suited to Indian manufacturing and which are not
• Technical translation between customer requirement and supplier capability (cast housings → milling → plating / powder coating, bent / brazed tubing, sheet-metal assemblies, special alloys)
• Prototype-to-series support: first-article inspection, customer sign-off, transition into serial production
• Negotiation & relationship building for long-term framework agreements

Your profile

• Several years of experience as a sales engineer / project manager in metalworking, plant or machine engineering
• Solid technical grasp of machining, casting, forming and surface finishing — you can look at a part and see where the manufacturing limits are
• Experience in New Product Introduction / prototype-to-series transition is a plus
• An existing network in the French industrial sector, or a proven ability to win B2B clients independently
• Self-directed, entrepreneurial way of working — you're used to operating freelance and on your own responsibility
• Fluent negotiation in French and English
• Open to international sourcing as a complement to — not a replacement for — French value creation

What we offer

• Performance-based compensation with a share of gross profit (GP-share model) — above-average earning potential on recurring orders
• Full flexibility: you decide location, hours and workload — an ideal complement to existing self-employment
• A desk at our Berlin hub whenever you want a base in Europe or a place to meet clients
• No pressure on unit volume, but on the quality of relationships — we build long-term accounts, not one-off deals
• We handle back office, supplier management and quality assurance — you focus on the technology and the customer
• Direct line to management, short decision paths
