International Key Account Manager*in

Hello,

we’re FOND OF!

And, we make amazing products, such as backpacks, shoes, accessories, and many more. For us, "amazing" stands for top quality, special features, designs, and responsible manufacturing – they are fun all around. How do we achieve this? Mostly through team play.

Shared successes drive us. Each of us takes responsibility – "can't do" doesn't exist here. And yet, we don’t take ourselves too seriously. Appreciation is often just a friendly, cheeky wink away. Here, you can be yourself. You use your strengths for our brands to make the impossible, possible, in the team – and WE give you the trust you need for your success. Curtain up and stage clear: now it’s YOUR turn!

1. SALES? You're a born sales talent, have initial contacts in the retail sector, and can excite retailers and customers alike with our brands in the shoes and/or backpack categories. For this position, previous background and understanding of the footwear industry is important.
2. ACQUISITION? With passion, you conquer new partners, points-of-sale for your region and establish our brands as leading kids' brands in your sales territory.
3. CUSTOMER HAPPINESS? You love engaging with your customers, recognizing and awakening their needs, and building sustainable customer relationships.
4. CONTROLLING? You think with sales responsibility, keep a close eye on the market, translate relevant information into key figures, and derive actions from them.
5. EVENTS? You support the organization with worldwide trade fair appearances, present our shoes / backpacks on-site together with your team, and train our retailers.
6. STRATEGY? You support your team in developing and implementing new, brilliant global sales strategies and work closely with our cross functional team to properly market our products.

If you see yourself in these tasks, then we are already a bit FOND OF YOU.
