Industrial Executive Leadership Opportunity - Managing Director / Sales and Business Development

German American Chambers Of Commerce

Overview

Location: Midwest USA

Full-Time

Onsite or Hybrid, depending on company location

As a trusted recruiting partner for a network of innovative German companies with operations in the United States, we are actively seeking to expand our pool of experienced executive-level candidates for upcoming and current leadership roles.

We are particularly interested in connecting with individuals who bring:

  • Proven P&L responsibility and leadership experience within small to mid-sized organizations (typically $10–50 million in revenue)
  • A solid track record in capital equipment or industrial technology environments
  • Deep experience in sales, business development, and cross-functional leadership (operations, finance, engineering, etc.)
  • Strong understanding of international business, ideally with exposure to European or German company structures and cultures
  • The ability to scale and optimize US subsidiaries of global companies while maintaining close collaboration with overseas headquarters
Responsibilities

These roles typically involve steering the US entity’s growth strategy, enhancing market presence, leading cross-border collaboration, and ensuring operational excellence across all departments.

Qualifications

If you are an entrepreneurial leader who thrives in international settings and is passionate about shaping the future of a growing business, we would love to hear from you. By joining our candidate network, you’ll be considered for current and future openings with our German partner companies across the U.S.

How to apply

Apply now to become part of our exclusive talent pool for high-impact executive roles in the German-American business landscape.
